Owies might be a wait and see depending on how he pulls up from that big hit.

Long is a 100% out for mine, needs to find touch in the WAFL.
All the debutants stay in.
We need another tall defender, Just running Brock is not sufficient.
Bazzo isn't ready and Barnett is still learning the craft.
I don't like it but Hedwards to come back in.

Then depends if Waterman and Ryan are good to go.
If they are then Allen out for Waterman
Ryan in for Long
 
IN: Waterman, Ryan, Hewett, Allan. (keep Hall, Gross)

I'm not one to pile on TK, but would be curious to see how he played after being dropped to Wafl for a week?
 
If we’re going to get smashed by 80 points FFS play the kids and maybe see if J Williams and Archer can run out a game rucking. SDK is going to smash no matter who is rucking.

An 80 point belting though was always on the cards before the first bounce - in fact I thought the loss would have been more as GWS are a top side - although some of our senior players need to show more that’s for sure and a bit of leadership wouldn’t go astray - but who lol!! And one thing to bear in mind is as a bottom side we have had a pretty tough draw to start the season. We will know more when we play some of the lesser sides.

For those that want Bo Allan, I recommend going to watch the WAFL matches.
You want baker out because he can't hit the side of a barn, well same goes for Allan at the moment.
He needs more development time.
Okay, good to know, I thought he was almost a readymade, plugn'play type, but was working his way back from the gastro/losing weight thing..
 
Allen should be dropped on form, as should Kelly. But we’re more like to have JWilliams and Hall dropped for no reason instead.

I’d like to see:
OUT: Kelly, Owies, Long, Allen, Davis
IN: Hewett, Petch, Ryan, Waterman, Johnston (sub)

Realistically I think we’ll see
OUT: Long, Davis, JWilliams, Brockman
IN: Waterman, Hewett, Ryan, Petch
 
Any Ins that don't include Petch are wrong and you can never complain about selection integrity or credits crew again if your Ins ignore a 5 goal haul.

Hmmm... everyone seems to be ignoring that Flynn got 27 possessions, kicked 2 goals and had 51 hitouts. That's about as good a game a ruckman can possibly have.
 
IN: Waterman, HEdwards, Ryan
OUT: Davis, Brock, Long


FB: Hough HEdwards Ginbey
HB: Baker OAllen Maric
C: Duggan Graham Dewar
HF: Cripps AReid Owies
FF: Ryan Waterman JWilliams
Fol: BWilliams HReid Kelly

INT: Gross Hunt Cole Hall
SUB: Brockman
No way should Brock be dropped. If HEdwards had been playing Hogan would have kicked 20.
 
In:

Petch, Ryan, Hewett (if fit), Waterman (if fit).

Out:
Kelly, Owies, Hunt, Cole

Allen to defence to assist Brock.

Expecting a few more injuries and the like.

And more great “fixturing”, a nice 9 day break for Carlton compared to our 6. Leaving Victoria for the first time this season. Bless.
 
Surely Kelly is public enemy #1 this week.

He's failed to hit 20 disposals in 3 out of 4 games. Failed to even hit 15 touches in 2 of them. If you're looking for someone whot epitomizes the "Underperforming senior player" tag, it's most definitely him.

We've carried him but his luck/credits/stature has got to be wearing thin.

Do I think it will happen? No, but it's fun to vent.

Against Cripps, Cerra, Walsh and Hewett I very much doubt Kelly will get left out. He's like a cockroach surviving a nuclear blast. There's always one reason or another why he ends up staying in the side. I'm not sure what we'll be missing. 14 touches and 1 tackle is all he put up. Take that out from next week and we won't even miss it.

Out: Kelly, Long, Davis
IN: Allan, Petrucelle, Hewett
