Changes for the Mundy game

I did notice Ross left the Captain's Run earlier than others so maybe he is still troubled by his knee? if so will be 3 matches he has missed.
Dow who was not at the captains run this morning must have replaced Ross i reckon, if Ross was right surely he would be in the starting 22?
What exactly did Ross do to his knee? Seems strange.
 
Cant beleive edwards still.plays...sides just kmow to waltz past him...refuses to chase ,refuses to tackle...offers nothing...at least parker stack and george will at least attempt hard pressure....hard not to feel deflated
Cumbo on his own someway.

Yeah, Lobb's out which helps our defence and leaves them with only one ruck. Onus on Nank/Soldo to wear down Darcy and exploit their relief ruck (Taberner?)

Dear Shane,

You are a Tiger Legend. Please, we need you to lift this week. Don’t let our last memories of you be those of watching a champion declined and making up numbers.
Silky hands, shake and bake, eagle vision, lace out delivery. We’ve seen it before, we need it now.

Aarts tackled Ross at training 3 weeks ago whereby Ross was injured, he was still taken up to Gold Coast but didn't come up and has been missing since, he trained this week so thought he was right to go.

The MC have hopefully realised after the last 2 weeks that we can’t have Baker waste on the half forward line.

Hopefully they have also realised that Aarts cannot play in the senior team again.

This won't be popular, but I want to see Ralphsmith dropped for this week. I think he's going to be a good player but needs to work on his contest work... which he has acknowledged earlier in the season in an interview. He's not great one on one, both when the ball is in the air or on the ground.

He looks good in space and running to receive but gets beaten too often one on one and goes to ground too easily... for someone with his wheels he needs to fight harder to keep his feet.

The wide open spaces of the MCG suit him better than Marvel.... and we desperately need to win contested ball to turn things around.
Blokes just won our first rising star nom in years but he's a spud so we should drop him. FMD. Whatever happens for the rest of the year, we need to get games into the young blokes. Raaalph's more than held his own so far this year, just keep banging games into him to set him up for next year.
Just for a memory nudge, bloke called Bash was condemned for years on this site as not tough enough n too outside. Ended up being a more than handy contributor to our success of recent years. Similar sort of player to Raaalph.

So we got beat by pace and run last week and the only change we make is to bring in another ruckman. FMD!!
Pretty sure we got beat by pathetic goal kicking n a couple of high pressure brain farts last week. All just self inflicted pain.

Disappointed one of Dow/Mansell/Rioli is not playing for Edwards. It's round 19.Titch has had his chance. Screw 300.

Why are we playing at this *smile* ground when the MCG is free? Do we have to play a minimum number of games at the dump?

He has been a great servant and I must say I have not been overly happy with his output this year. I do believe we need to get him to 300, but I will say they could've got him there by playing him as the sub like the swans had been doing with Kennedy before he got injured. Then come his 300th play him for a full game.
