Staggering

[Fluffy Tiger]

Loose a Key back, and a second ruck but bring in flankers and small fowards. Not sure how this  works.

Flabbergasted.

[Assange Tiger 😎]

Not really. Cox is their only genuine tall and I guess they're backing Astbury to go with him all night. Broadsword, Grimes & Vlas to sort the rest who possess height/marking ability. Only question is who gives Nank a chop out I guess.

I said we needed runners and the coaches listened

Always trust the brain trust......??
They have had a lobotomy, put the house on the Pies

[Diocletian]

Balta must've turned up late for training or something...surely.....

[Assange Tiger 😎]

Loose lips sink ships.

[Tiger Khosh]

Not a fan of the changes but not gonna use it as an excuse for losing. Still expect to win.

[pmac21]

Last week we did seem a bit tall but Nank must be going to ruck all night. 

[Lozza]

It was quite slippery at the G last week, we need fast close to the ground players, think for that reason we have introduced alot of extra speed into the side. Don't think this game will be won or lost through contested marking so don't mind the changes personally.

[Rampsation]

Balta out is unbelievable. I dont think we can win with this team. Really disappointed in selection.

[big tone]

Balta must be sore surely. Otherwise it’s just a stupid decision.
Get games into the kid FFS.
He did enough last week to keep his spot regardless if Rance went down or not.

George selection was a formality...
Very important player to our forwardline.

Markov IMO can be something if he keeps improving the way he has, so looking forward to seeing him again at AFL level.
He would want to play well as Sydney Stack is probably next cab off the rank across halfback.
He looked sharp last week in the 2’s.

Ellis selection is disappointing to say the least.
He makes Houli look brave.
Garranteed 25 soft, useless possessions.
