Changes against Bulldogs
- Thread starter Huw
- Start date
SHocking's checking with his accountant.....might need some cash instead.
We look like losing 3 top liners in Grimes, Lambert and Dust and I don’t think our present game will stand up against the Bulldogs without those 3.
Aarts is tough but doesn’t win enough of his own ball and Houli has dropped pff noticeably after his return from injury, which also robbed him of a pre-season.
We need to change our emphasis if we are to have any chance and our one point of possible advantage is our
(little known) strength in talls, who gave good speed. Chol on a wing could tear them apart!
I’d make 5 changes
In: Cameron-Jones, Chol, Collier-Dawkins, Humphrysmith
and Rioli M,
Out: Grimes Lambert Martin injured, Aarts, and Houli omitted.
B Astbury Broad Balta
HB Short McIntosh HUMPREYSMITH
C Cotchin Bolton CHOL
HF COLLIER-DAWKINS Edwards Castagna
F Lynch Riewoldt Rioli D
R Nankervis Graham Baker
I/C Cameron-Jones, Mansell Pickett Rioli M.
Sub Houli.

Chol ? 11 disposals in an otherwise really ordinary 4 games. Big deal. How does that warrant a game ahead of others ?
He’s a bad karma on our team with his lack of intensity and competition. Will be de listed at years end.

I reckon most of us agree who need to be dropped if only to make a statement that they need to wake up. Ross has to be given a start as does CCJ. I read somewhere the MR picked up an injury at VFL so not sure who should replace DR or JA but perhaps someone has an idea. If the news about Grimes is true and he may miss next week then it could well be Millertime. We have to blood the kids sooner or later so with our injury problems we may as well go for broke.
The MRO mob said Edwards gets to a stationary position before turning his body to brace when he makes contact with player Oliver. It was determined by the MRO that the action was not unreasonable in the circumstances. No further action was taken. We seem to have won one for a change
