Changes for R9 v Dogs

Prestia has not played since round 1 and has a history of soft tissue injuries.
Can’t simulate match conditions by training.
If he re injures during a return at the top level his wish for a new contract becomes more unlikely.
Maybe a couple of weeks in the VFL would be in his best interests ?
Can get just as injured running around in the magoos as seniors, it's pretty much the same game. The bloke's a talented and experienced senior player, he either stands up at senior level or it's career done.

Prestia comes through the vfl build match fitness we cannot afford to loose a player after a quarter. Let's see if the club has learnt.

Good changes. I was worried some kids would be dropped for these 3 INs.

A WIN is due I think. Beginning of the end for Dash Kam.

Any chance of rewarding good form in the VFL (Coulthard, Cumbo, Ryan) ?

Interesting that Baker listed on the bench. Yze in his presser said that a couple of the boys were sore from the weekend. Hopefully he’s not a late out.

Campbell sub? None of the others seem likely.
Gives him a spell, without dropping him fully.

Balta forward line You cannot make a silk purse out of a pigs ear. I think we are tanking.
 
Why in earth does Graham come back in ?
Infuriating and depressing as he has been so bloody awful as a foward for two years ..cannot kick goals , we fall apart on rhe foward flanks , hopelessly slow...we are dezperate for someone who can kick goals ..play cumberland and Ryan over jack and mansell...
That said Prestia and Balta back is huge

Our vfl boys are performing to that's what is puzzling. Ryan, not in staggering, why would you risk Balta in the ruck coming back from injury.What was a waste of time that was playing Naismith as a forward. Mansell and Campbell are still in another puzzling situation again. You got Coulthard and Cumberland. Smith and McAuliffe are both in good form too.

Bring in Prestia no match fitness and Graham after one week even though he doesn't warrant it on form. Why not bring Prestia through vfl and build his fitness instead of him breaking down after a quarter. Poor decisions continue from the match committee.Garbage for me.
