[Agronomus]

I keep forgetting dodos not here anymore

It's happened again hasn't it? We've been slow to read the swings of league zeitgeist, finally we have a contested team and now contested ball is out, along and wave run is back in... By the time we turn the queen Mary back around to get a sling team contests will be back in.

It's fun chasing our tails for ever

Imagine adding prime Walla, Fantasia, Daniher, Saad and McKenna to our current team?

We'd be kicking goals from all over the ground.

 

[Keystone agony]

I think im doing

In: Saad, Davey(Sub)
Out: Ridley and Langford

Hobbs very lucky

When they have the 3 talls on i think Prior is fine on Tex

Draper fwd more, think we can pull the HJ lever fwd aswell

Tom Edwards could be a better sub than Davey returning

Would consider Eli to Dawson. I just think his kicking is that bad that he needs to negate or lesrn to negate. Hes a hard worker, good size, determined and disciplined all traits made fo an excellent tagger

Starting to think we will give Prior another chance after his mare against the Hawks…maybe just 1st game nerves for his new club…?? his pre-season form was decent…
Edwards has to come in for Langers but I think we will go with a small forward line, Gresham to start and maybe Menzie as SUB…??

Prior McKay McGrath
Redman Reid Merrett
Martin Caldwell Duursma
Perkins Jones Gresham
Edwards Caddy Kako

Draper Durham Hobbs

Bench: Tsatas Shiel Roberts Bryan
SUB: Menzie

 

[Vindicater]

I would rather shift Jones forward into Langford's spot than bring in Edwards.

Then bring Menzie and Gresham in to the starting 22.

Jones Caddy Gresham
Menzie Draper Kako

Not huge firepower but will at least lock it in. Will also allow for some players like Redman, Martin and Durham to come forward to kick goals.

Davey has only just returned to full training.

Remove Hobbs and in Setterfield. Setterfield can wear contact so I prefer him alongside Tsatas over Hobbs.

Hobbs played forward so who plays there ? and will they provide the same forward pressure ? Hobs may not have kicked a goal but he 100% created 2 with good handball and it could have been 3 if Caldwell did not fall over.

If we are picking a bloke just to protect Tsatas a bit then we really are in a world or hurt. Tsatas stands on his own two feet or he goes back to the VFl for mine. Have no issue if they pick him for 4 or5 weeks and I hope he comes good but I am simply not picking Setterfield just to be a big body.
