Yep Dreadful.McAuliffe out? Hugo & Dow still in?
Yikes.
Recruited as a mid, juniorI don't mind Sonz dropping back. We need him to be a mid, he needs to learn that in the VFL and then come back to the AFL and show he can then do it at the higher level.
Fair enough if that was the case - could have gone other way though and thrown in the Anzac misfield furnace - no tip-toeing sonSonsie needed to be dropped due to the lack of intensity and shirked a few contests that didn't go down well. Certain posters had him named in the centre this week which was . Anyway I am surprised McIntosh survived but perhaps he was playing sore. His form has been ordinary to say the least.
Couldn’t blame him.
This team would struggle to beat a team from 2010.McAuliffe Omitted GTFO. Banks just needs to sneeze and he gets back into the side.
In: Dylan Grimes, Jacob Hopper, Sam Naismith, Sam Banks

Agree with alot of your sentiment although Coulthard was atrocious in the VFL last game. Has great ability but needs to find form. McAuliffe just play him, he's going to be multiples the player Dow will ever be. Kmac should have been dropped. Banks, Ralphsmith, Pickett have been playing wing, how many do we need? Start picking representing where we are as a team, it's a rebuild.Either
a) someone within the MC is trying to sabotage Yze
b) we are tanking
c) Yze has already lost the plot
Banks in for what/who?
Macauliffe out while Dow does what?
Our fwd line is depleted and Kosi just got dropped yet Cumbo still no show
If precise kicking is our new thing why isn't Coulthard given a show
Dow against Petracca should be fun to watch
Selections of late are really mindboggling. I get the cupboard is pretty thin due to injuries but some of the calls defy logic
Perhaps we realised after West Coasts sudden resurgence we are a real chance for no 1 pick
We should build tunnels and kick it undergroundJudging by the forward line as named, we might try kicking it along the ground inside 50...
Am more interested to see how the two rucks will play pretty much as #1 key forwards.Thought Naismith would play over Ryan. Be interesting to see how two rucks go against Gawn.
