Changes v Aints

Bakers is delivering. What more does he have to do? Automatic selection for mine. You don’t drop in form players. Ellis probably done enough.
Agree with the rest

I wouldnt be dropping Baker, but Baker is in that cohort of players that are going to be under pressure to maintain their places for the rest of the season.
 
Ok Soldo is available but an automatic in? why? Apart from a few hit outs he doesn't do anything else

We need to win centre clearances at Marvel as it becomes easy to score quickly there, so Soldo for me ahead of Chol.

Yeah, this. We got smashed in the middle against both North and Footscray and it was very expensive. Essential to get the ball in the middle at Docklands.

Agree. It is always important on this quick deck

Yeah we do need to win the ball out of the middle so important we get both Cotchin and Lambert back. Soldo played against North and gave us nothing. I would be going with Chol and Balta. We need another tall option up forward.

Soldo is not the answer. He is slow and can’t mark. There is no ruckman playing league football at the moment who is like that and there is a reason for that.
I’ d stick with Chol backed by Balta who both have speed and spring and agility. This week at Marvel I would back them up with Cameron-Jones off the bench.
 
We've had no height in our losses. These 3 in the team gives us height and mobility. DO IT!

Agree with that. When he last played he did get to good spots but dropped every mark that came his way.

Fair point, we really need to get more depth in the ruck. For all of Soldo's limits I reckon he should be in, maybe we keep Chol as well. CCJ might take a little longer, we also need to see what Chol can do and if he is worth keeping. Cotch, Lambert and in-form Dusty and we could rip this game apart.
