At least two forced changes.
Lynch to be suspended.
Lefau out with a calf.
Fire away with your changes?
:help
-
Granted there's only so many changes I'd like to make in one week:
Out:
Lynch
Lefau
Kmac
Green
In:
Young (forward, or back with Balta forward)
Sims
Kmac2 if fit
Hotton (yeah I changed my mind, f it, was so disgusted today).
Is Armstrong close? Lalor?
-
In: Lalor, Hotton, MRJ, Sims
Out: Green, Mansell, Lefau, Lynch
For some reason mansell was given number 7 and is an untouchable now. He’s just a poor mans Castagna, that’s a pretty poor player.
-
Jon Ralph saying Lalor will be back next week in the seniors. Short available too.
Not Hotton though who will play VFL along with Armstrong and Gibcus.

100% this. If Green plays another game for us Id be suprised

Sonsie has an appointment to get an backside so will be out for at least a week

I’m gobsmacked how the club allowed Mansell to inherit the no.7. Needs to be stripped off him and given to Taj Hotten at the end of the season

I've asked you once before and you failed to answer, please explain the significance of number 7. It isn't a significant number at the club.
And please don't say it's because it's a low number. It is not a number that carries significance like 4, 8, 9, 12, 17, 29 or 30 to name a few do at the RFC
-
INS: MRJ, Lalor, Bauer, Trezise
OUTS: Green, Mansell, Lefau, Lynch
-
Out: spuds and overpaid sook
In: Lalor and more spuds

As is this case with probably every club, the low numbers are reserved for the best players in the team. That doesn’t mean that a top 5 players can’t have a number like 17 or something, but it should mean that a bottom 5 player doesn’t have number 7. Is mansell bottom 5? Probably not but he’s not far off.
Form warrants mansell being dropped. Embarrassment imo to have a number 7 running around in the vfl. It also indicates that the club seems him sticking around for a while, otherwise they just keep high numbers.

In : reality - a very young side with some has beens
Out: high expectations : unlikely to be competitive except against WC

The number was vacant, presumably nobody else wanted it, it holds no significance to the history of the club, they can’t just say, no you can’t have it cos we think youre a bit poo.

Don’t come at me but I think we need to pluck Kosi out of his semi retirement in the VFL and play him in the forward line - just as a mature body who can compete.
We can’t just play kids or it’s going to be a slaughter we haven’t seen since Malcom Blight was coach of Geelong.

Fine by me as long as there's no clause in his contract to trigger another year lol
Play him either end.
Could throw Balta forward, it really doesn't matter anymore
-
I suggested giving Kosi a run a long while back just to give the forward line some kind of support.
He's gone. And so should the person that gave him a multi year deal
-
Lalor available to play.
Short and Gibcus a test.

Gibcus will be playing reserves for the next few weeks for sure.

Gibcus will definitely be coming back via the VFL

So our forward options are all of a sudden depleted, like last year. Through suspension and injury we have lynch, lefau, fawcett, Armstrong out.
Armstrong back soon but he will probably have a few games in the vfl so for the next little while we will probably see a mix of balta/sims/Faull in the fwd line.
I don’t like throwing balta around as there’s no doubt he’s a d50 player for mine.
Also don’t think blight is up to afl level. Wish gray wasn’t injured.
-
We had no forward options on Sunday.
-
Play small fwd line like round 1. Lynch was only tall, with Bauer and lalor pocket and a flank of Mansell, green and Campbell. (That was round 1 lineup)
Lynch only kicked 1 and the goals were spread around.
We need pace on the ball.
