Changes for next week against the Cats?
« on: June 29, 2025, 06:32:41 PM »
At least two forced changes.

Lynch to be suspended.
Lefau out with a calf.


Fire away with your changes?

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.

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

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.

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
