Dow's ankle may make him doubtful.
McAuliffe came back on so touchwood he is ok.
Baker will be back after his suspension.
Fire away with your changes?
-
Dow out
Baker in
McAuliffe starting line up
Someone else sub

2 of short, Pickett and Mcintosh need to come out. If even just take 1 of them being out just to stop this never ending cycle of them being picked regardless of their performance. I’d lean towards Mcintosh and Pickett coming out not because short has been particularly better than them but atleast we know he can be. Pickett and Mcintosh are playing at their level and in a poor team it’s just no longer good enough.
Out: Pickett, Kmac
In: Baker, Banks
I’d have more outs but I just don’t know who would come in to replace them at this stage.
-
Outs: pickett
Ins baker
Dow sub.
-
out Dow forever
out mcintosh forever
in baker
in banks
only reason pickett plays is to get him to 100, because he is the worst player on the field in almost every game he has played this year.

Need to wait on the injury report first.... >:(

Anybody got Magic Meehan on speed dial?

Kosi to hold his spot said Adem :o

I don’t rate Kosi or Samson. I think they are virtually the same but maybe Kosi has the edge coz he’s slightly more mobile and attacks the contest slightly more. Both are useless

Banks has done SFA in his games. He needs form in vfl.

Perhaps though who is the future?
McIntosh
Dow
Pickett
Or would u rather give banks a go at it
I know who I would prefer
-
Get Ryan and Naismith in Kosi like tree branch does nothing.
-
In his presser Yze said both McAuliffe and Dow should be right for this week
-
Can't drop Lefau. He competes and is tougher than Kosi. Both will have to keep their spots unfortunately.
I'd consider just moving on KMac now and using Pickett as the sub to get him to 100 in case his children become prodigies. He's actually not a bad option for sub anyway.

While I understand your point around Kmac and Piclett Andyy I reckon until the find someone who has the tank that can clock up 14+ kms a game then they stay or at least one of them stays. Right now for me at least Pickett is the one I'd drop he was awful yesterday and some of his selfish acts cost us at least 2 shots at goal ...

Honest question, do we have beep test results on them all or similar?
I know some players are known for their tanks, otherwise all we have is time trial results.

I saw after the Swans game that KMac clocked up the most Kms around 14.5km next best was Ross and Taranto.
Though can't remember 100% where I saw it but might have been on the platform formerly known as twitter
Wingman need to be able to cover a lot of territory these days and most are bigger bodies as well not sure who've got right at the minute who can do it

Do not play blokes who either won't compete or cannot compete Physically. Banks while he has some real attributes i like, is not ready for AFL footy atm. Same for Ryan when he can stop being pushed around like a girl then maybe he will be ready.
Who would i give a go to. McAuliffe if fit. Smith of a hbf instead of Banks. Naismith Instead of Ryan or Koschitzke.
We have hb flankers a plenty Why are people and the club so adverse to playing the likes of Rioli or Broad on a wing.We could even play Brown there. When Fit Trezise could play there. We could free up Bolton on a wing and if he has the tank try and free up Sonsie there.
The trouble is we just refuse to even look outside the box and continue to go with inadequate wingers who offer practically nothing offensively..
-
Broad - Young - Vlastuin
Smith - Miller - Brown
Rioli - Martin - Pickett
Nankervis - Taranto - Bolton
Sonsie - Lefau - Campbell
Mansell - Kosi - Naismith
McAuliffe - Baker - Ross - Graham.
-
Solid lineup. Would like to see Smith play a few more games at VFL level and i would drop Lefau. Naismith at FF might just work and Kosi CHF. I do like the idea of Rioli on the wing.
-
LMAO @ dropping MRJ ....then will be the first to bitch about our lack of defensive pressure....and Naismith & Nankervis in the same side with Graham...clearly we're still not slow enough for some people....:joker :propeller :joker
-
Lefau has to go out. Needs to spend 3 to 4 weeks at VFL level learning how to contest...
Play Naismith instead.

Agree
He’s currently bordering on useless
He’s very skilled at running to where the ball isn’t
-
Lefaue needs to stay in . His confidence is growing . He competes , brings the ball to ground , TACKLES AND CAN KICK!! He won't be dropped!!
-
If he isn’t dropped, it’s moreso because we don’t have any viable options to replace him.
You may be right in that he competes if the ball is kicked in his direction, but he doesn’t seem to understand yet where to be without the ball. Maybe and hopefully that will come with more experience but at the moment, he just doesn’t have that understanding of the game.
-
Like to see him attend the the odd centre bounce with MRJ like they do in the VFL - especially when the oppos get on a roll and just start waltzing out with the ball - which happens far too often.... :shh
-
No way should they drop Lefau.
Replace him with who, Ryan?
Bloke needs more games.
-
Get Ryan in give him a block of games play that forward rucknrole.

100% agree with that. Get him in and Kosi to the VFL

Who has ever complained about lack of pace when it comes to any of our small fwds. Have certainly complained about the lack of just about anything else that goes with that pace. When will you ever learn you need more than pace and pressure to be a good forward.
LOL at the naivety You actually think your love child Ryan along side Nankervis will be better than Naismith or even more mobile or be able to apply pressure :o
By the way they are not going to drop Graham and probably not Dow. One had to go I went with Dow .There are no other midfield options.
Take your pick MRJ or Mansell can't play both. if you think we need two defensive forwards who only occasionally offer more than a bit of defensive chase and offer sweet stuff all else most of the time then you really aren't watching games.
Every week we struggle to kick goals and the smalls are also part of the problem not that you could see it.
Yep gotta laugh 2 possesion a game ryan who is pushed around like a girl and is totally useless when the ball hits the ground instead of Naismith now that is hilarious.
You are all over the shop on one hand declaring hes a ruckman not a forward then picking him in front of a better ruckman.
A ruckman that is actually performing well.
Your only option is Replace Lefau or Kosi for Ryan as a forward, that is the epitomy of madness. replacing under performers with a bigger under performer and expecting a different result. We have actually got more out of Kosi he's the same age and Lefau who is just 3 games in than we have out of Ryan so far.
At least Naismith will contest in the air and give Nankervis a decent chop out at worst. Apart from Ryan there is no other choice and im going with Naismith.
As for Graham if its another mid there is no one else unless you drop him and play Dow. What a great choice that is.
You need to stop peeing in your own pocket and stop trying to pick holes in other peoples arguments when yours is so full of them :shh
-
LMAO haven't even mentioned Ryan- you just make shyte up as you go because you're full of it ya miserable old fokker.... :shh
-
This is a danger game , Eagles will be sniffing a win .
-
Totally agree. Will definitely be viewing this as a winnable game

In the mix, R5: Who's under the pump, pushing for selection?

Liam Baker will return from suspension, and if Thomson Dow isn't right after a minor ankle injury, it's a near-perfect swap. Last week's debutant Kane McAuliffe is also under an injury cloud with his own ankle concern, but if he's right to go, should play given his lively few minutes on the park. Dylan Grimes (wrist) is also a chance to feature, but with a trip to Perth and a young backline just starting to find their rhythm, is it the right game to return? Coach Adem Yze said post-match Jacob Koschitzke will "hold his spot", but the forward line remains a work in progress given the absence of Noah Balta and Tom Lynch. Samson Ryan and Sam Naismith can provide additional tall options, but would have to squeeze out a small, with Rhyan Mansell arguably the quietest of that group. The VFL team had a competition-wide bye due to the state representative game.
