Good changes

lol....as if Ryan is going to play considering the forecast weather
no way Ross misses out either (never thought Id say  that)

Good to see Sonsie back in our AFL side.

Presumably, Maurice or Ross will be the sub. Not sure why Cotch is named as an emergency if he is being "managed" this week.

I know Maurice has had an ordinary past two weeks will ball in hand but I always worry when he is omitted as to who else will chase and apply forward pressure? Last time he was dropped was against Norf in our loss last year where the Roos just waltzed out of our F50 scoring goals at will on the rebound especially in the first half  .

I wonder if Jack agreed to be “managed”.

Cotchin to be the Sub? not a bad idea! Play him in midfield.

They played him in the wet last week. Not sure why and I agree that if it's going to be wet he might be a liability.But somebody has to bring it to ground and give Nack a chop out so he probably will play

[Andyy]

Mansell still lucky tbh.

Would back Rioli in for a wet game myself.

Maybe Miller a better option than Ryan.

[Buddysucks]

Rioli omitted…. Are these guys serious. Only guy on the list that applies any pressure at all. Not just in the 50, but all the way to HBF. If he is dropped because he isn’t hitting the score board then maybe they need to look at why that is. Poor bastard is chasing every other forwards man as they waltz out of our forward line.
Absolute p-weak decision!

[Willy]

I don’t mind it personally.

He’s looked fumbly and down on confidence in the  last couple of weeks.

[crackertiger]

No Rioli wow! Are we tanking?

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Mansell and Cumberland apply pressure. Half time, swap out Sampson (who will give Nank a chop out for a half) for Rioli if the rain comes tumbling. Rioli on 2 qtrs will be at high octane.

[pmac21]

Rioli has been really poor last 2 weeks.  Good sub but needed to be dropped.
