Changes for our next game against the Dees?
« on: April 14, 2024, 06:55:30 PM »
Short will be a forced out (calf).

Balta spoke about returning after the bye but not sure how realistic that is.

Not much left in the cupboard to choose from given our horrifically long injury list that keeping getting even longer :-\.

Fire away with your changes?

If Balta is fit, then it's a given he's in

I'll assume for now he's not available

INS: Ryan, Banks, Grimes, Greene

OUTS: Short, Young, Pickett, Hugo

Kosi to defence, Dan Rioli to a wing

About three of them I'd say Chucky..... :shh

Kosi must go he is horrid. See ya McIntosh- simply had enough. Give Hugo a few games on the wing. Play Sonsie as a mid if not, he doesn't play as he can't play as a small forward. Try MRJ in the middle for bursts and even Mansell- at least they are fast and tackle. Ryan must play before Kosi to at least get games into him as he might have a future. Sadly Kosi doesn't.

If Macca is KMac then he can't be accused of turning it over. He only touched it 6 times  :gobdrop

Ah who really cares. As long as there are enough kids playing I’m happy. If anyone gets dropped it’s Pickett or mcintosh. Id give up on Dow, give sonsie a run in the middle and bring in Cumberland or coulthard to play fwd. I’m not an advocate for Cumberland at all but have a look at our injury list, may as well give everyone a go.

Yze in his post-match presser said Hopper and Grimes could be available.

OUT: Dusty (Because we want an environment that can allow him to enjoy his footy, enjoy coming into the club every day and hopefully prolong his career; Rest, Relaxation, P&O cruise, Personal Harem, Chauffeur, Food chewer, Climate assistant, Barista, Pedicurist and Arse Wipers)
The club that keeps giving.

Let’s just wait and see who’s fit, before picking the team in 2 weeks , ps ; we are going to been whatever experience we have in to support the kids!
 it’s tough but I would rather see us bottom out than be mediocre as we were for 30 plus year. If it means we are top 4 in 5 to 10 years , I’d take it.
