Absolutely correct and we could have be a couple of vey disappointed players after team selection in coming weeks

Yes but that's how great teams operate. Give everyone a go at the start, show us that you're good enough to play consistently with the team's plan, if so, you're in. We need this type of pressure to ensure everyone plays to their full potential as a team. if we get there, then yes, it's going to be hard for selection. There are possible 3 to 5 players fighting for limited positions.

I think he's right on the edge if everyone's fit.

Agree. He goes to ground in a contest too easily. That *smile* can cost games. Needs to stay on his feet better.

Borderline if we have a full list.
 
Looked better on the wing last night.

Can be a goal kicker too.

Good luck selectors

His form since moving in with the skipper has been good

I was impressed with that idea so much I tried it at my work.
Boss told me to *smile* off.
Thinks I’m a weirdo now,
 
Can’t let him kick on his left. High wide and not very handsome most of the time.

One of the few who can’t be trusted under extreme pressure IMO

I’d pick Conca, Higgins and Lloyd ahead of him at full strength.

Definitely the first two, not sure re Lloyd (and I'm a big fan of Sammy's). A fit Houli coming back also wouldn't help him. I wonder who's picked if it comes down to McIntosh or Ellis?

Agree , I think Houli coming back will push him out , and i like Brandon ,

But think he will be the hard luck story , along with another that im not sure of yet.
 
His incredible running keeps him in, always at the top of the tracking stats. He is my least favourite player, doesn't go hard at the contest and terrible decision making - but his willingness and ability to run to keep our structure keep him in. K-Mac is similar, but at least crashes in.
 
Was diabolical today, his decision making, and disposal, was really poor.

First one out for Lambo or Butts for mine.
 
wasnt great, but be hard to drop him after that last eyes on the ball collision with a minute to go.

That was great and it was a *smile* kick from Prestia.

But otherwise Ellis was terrible today. So fumbly and loses his feet in contests. He’s the one that makes way for Lambert IMHO.

and I find myself in the unusual position of batting for Brando :hihi

Kmac was good?

Yeah thought Kmac was pretty good. What about the lace out to Jack!

Who goes out for Lambert easy? Ellis for mine. Not sure he can be trusted in the trenches these days.
 
Ellis was very fumbly today. Reckon he might now be the one to miss for Lambert. Broad seemed to be playing all over the shop and not doing a great job, prefer him to go back.

Where was Broad playing?

Broad was in the ruck for a bit. Was competitive, but prefer Grigg.
