Changes against the Swannies.

Soldo, CCJ, Bolton, Dow, Picklett/ Stack, Graham.

Seriously look at dropping Grover he was terrible yesterday.

His two way running ability the only reason to get him another run

Very interesting dilemma this week. Centre bounce attendances on Saturday were Dusty (21, Sheds 20 (gone), Prestia 13 (gone), Nank 12 (gone), Cotch 11 (gone), Cholly 10.) Nanks will obviously go to Ivan Soul-Glo, but it's gonna be a new look midfield in the guts this week. Might need a bigger body (RCD?) to add to any skinny dudes like Bolton and maybe Pickett??
 
After watching yesterday Scratch match . Ross , CJ and Stack couldn’t possibly get a game
Soldo , Dow, Naish , Graham .Bolton and maybe Oleg

He was awful, Craig, yet somehow he got a vote on the AFL website.
 
@LeeToRainesToRoach when was the last time we lost in queensland? was it the infamous KHunt Game? What about the last time we lost in SE QLD (as in the Gabba and Metricon)? not at least for 10 years i would have thought.
 
I can understand Shane wanting to stay home since his missus is due soon but Bachar has a large extended family who you'd think could be brought in to assist his wife. I don't know his personal circumstances but I wish he could have changed his mind after our 3 major injuries.
 
Nankervis - Soldo
Cotchin - Pickett
Prestia - Bolton
Lynch - Coleman-Jones
Edwards - Dow
Houli - Stack

Cotchin - Pickett would have to be the single greatest downgrade in intensity in history.

Bachar is near the end of his career. He's reached the pinnacle twice. You only get the first month of your sons life once.

Easy decision to make.

Marlion appear skinny but hes tough as *smile*.

Id say the starting setup would be

Dusty lambo soldo pickett

Theres 6 flags in there

The rotations will include caddy, broad, $hai, mabior, ross, graham maybe even dow and stackman. (Thats another 6 flags)

We bat deeeeeeep

I reckon its a genuine golden opportunity

When do we expect the Capt. Back?

Naish appears a lock on his practice match form, will be interesting to see how he goes with the more contested nature of real footy as against the 14 a side scratch matches. Hopefully he steps up to the physicality.
 
On midfield grunt is empty so Ross and Graham are a must. The we probably have another four of five places to fill and we should go for the exciting youngsters who could be or future like Dow, Naish, CCJ and RCD etc. Will be an interesting selection for Sunday
 
From his comment at best it will be after the hub as he won't be able to travel later similar to Lynch who has to be in Queensland tonight or doesn't go.

The captain is on the GC. Reckon he will play North.

Cotchin, Prestia, Edwards were 3 of our 4 primary midfield starters last season. They are huge losses as a group. Missing Lynch with Reiwoldt out of for also a big worry. Am quite concerned. Can the younger guys step up?
