Damien's team selections are a mystery.
Short 's inclusion is a joke. Houli plus Short in the backline = disaster.
Boulton back in = never should have been dropped in the first place.
Baker dropped =joke
Only positives are Higgins & Butler finally out of the side.

I'd suspect most times if you are making 7 changes it is due to injured players going out. This would have to be a pretty rare occurrence. I'm still in awe how you get some of these stats. Amazi g.
Not fussed about too many ins when they include the likes of Cotchin, Lambert, Edwards, Astbury
And if Riewoldt and Nank were fit too it’d be a case of “too many ins are barely enough” - as Roy and HG would say
Can't understand what some don't see in short,he's a gun ,big ball carrier,long kick ,after our flag in 17,he broke into a premiership side and was one of the big reasons we improved even further , personally would play him on a wing ahead of McIntosh .
Maybe but he has often been back there. Or did you want to forget that howler in the square against Adelaide.
Just Four key players missingTeams are in. We've dropped 7 players!!!!
Extremely unlike Dimma. The only one I really disagree with is Baker; really can't believe he's been dropped. His form has been pretty good hasn't it? It certainly was in the first 10 rounds. How he gets dropped before Ellis is mind boggling. Also struggle to see how Short comes straight back after 3 months out.
Anyway it's the strongest team we've had for quite a while so hopefully it produces the result we need.
Rance Riewoldt Nankervis Ross
Been concerned about this game as the Saints tend to match up well against us, but it's a very inexperienced St.Kilda 22. Drop this and we may as well pack it in.
Newnes, Armitage & Rowe as emergencies... it's as though Richardson's being tested in the same was as Bolton before he got chopped.
can't find any positives in the return of Cotch, Astbury, Edwards and Lambert?
Bloody hell...7 for 7. Biggest change I've ever seen in AFL history. Obviously giving the returners a 'practice match' against the Aints before the big ones come.
Just noticed something trivial, but we don't play a Saturday afternoon game at the G until Port in R18. Something I've missed badly this season.

I’ve noticed the same thing too TF. Has pissed me off and I have asked the club to bat deeper next year.Bloody hell we are the biggest club in the league and we prop up the AFL coffers so we need to demand a better draw ala Colonwood has been getting for yonks.
