This.
No time for sentimentality. Need to pick the side that will win and at this stage Reece in an upgrade on Chris.
I get the argument, but I reckon half the team would SPEW UP if Dimma dropped Newman. Dimma's probably created a bit of a bind for himself with Chris here. As for me, happy for them to play Newy, still does some nice things but usually not enough of em. But yeah, Dimma won't mess with the magical team chemistry. Don't underestimate the "let's win it for Chris" factor.
Also HELLO NEWMAN
Also HELLO NEWMAN

In the last two games, Chris has averaged 10 possessions and 1 shot at goal (in one he was a late sub). The last two full games Llyod played he averaged 15 disposals and 4 shots at goal.
But I think Dimma is going to ride or die with Chris no matter what.

Not saying it will, and def hoping it won't, come to this but what do you think the other players, and supporters, would prefer...?
Chris stays in and the club shows huge loyalty to get him playing in the finals, and we lose early in the piece
Chris is omitted for a player with greater upside (don't need specifics for the hypothetical) and we win further into the finals
Can see how it is now a tricky one to manage but...

In: Vickery, Lloyd, Hunt, Lambert, Lennon
Out: Griffiths, Gordon, Petterd, Foley, Conca
On balance I prefer this 22 to the one that booted up against Port last year.

agree with this
also - what changes will there be to the team that lost to North earlier in the year - assuming no Lennon or Lloyd, Lambert and maybe Vickery
Let's do whatever allows lloyd to maintain his 0, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0, 3, goal sequence.
I hope it's 3 this week.

Chaplin just said on sen Conca and Griffiths are fit but are short of a run. Available next week.
Pretty sure Griff started in Tassie, hurt himself early and we had to activate the sub, which left Maric to ruck solo against Goldstein and whoever else they used to spell him. Vickery wasn't there, would have made a perfect Griff replacement if he was. It was also Lids first game back from injury and it showed. I have the feeling Newman was also injured at the time, but not sure on that one.year of the tiger said:

How are they going to get game time?
Reckon we can simulate the gear we play finals in, with
Match practice at training?

Probably, can't wait for the sub rule to finish.
The last two to wear the vest will be in a grand final
Yes, sorry, Chris. It's finals; everything, the whole season is on the line.pessimistic_ said:
Newman out. Conca sub.
He offers just that much more run, skill, in and under plus outside. Can go forward and goal too. Surely his hammies can get through a quarter or so. Chris has tried hard; hasn't been terrible but think Conca could gather same possession average as Chris for a full game even as sub. Or play him for three qts and sub Lloyd on for Concs. Newman first emerg.
