Will be interesting. As we know Dimma don’t do wholesale changes but after 2 bad weeks there’s so many worthy of demotion. There’ll be AT LEAST 2 changes but should be more, heaps more.
 
Nank for soldo
Ccj for jack
Dusty for Rioli
Kmac for Pickett
Dow for graham

Dreaming I know. I also suggest that if we don’t fire again Dimma, in a rage, replaces our hard working backs with malingerers of any size or shape.
 
Geez what it is highlighting for me is there isn't exactly many names coming to mind to bring in.

Obviously Dusty if fit & Baker , but apart from Nank & Kmac there isn't a lot of senior ready players , lots of our list is untried or barely tried players like Balta CCJ RCD etc let alone the Turners English's etc. Dow seems a likely type though by the reports.

People mentioning stack, yes he started slow but at least he tried to make things happen more than i can say for many others, He had 18 possies at 83DE not our worst by any stretch.

Let's talk Soldo couldn't stop laughing how clumsy he is. Absolute clueless ruckman. Rather have Nank and CCJ or even Balta rotating.
Rioli has been missing for far too long. Castagna if it wasn't for his 2 goals in the last qtr he should be dropped too. Pickett not up to it. Jack Graham is another getting games on past glories.

Dusty and Baker will play in RD4 but id also look to bring in Dow, Markov (as a forward), Balta to name a few. Macintosh not the cleanest player in terms of ball use but geez he'll give you a contest week in, week out.

Need to fix the connection going into fwd 50. To much bombing and not enough hitting up targets going into fwd 50. Jack needs to get on his bike.

This. Two weeks in a row we have just bombed it hoping Lynch or Jack can mark but inevitably its 1 or 2 on plenty and they intercept or run it back out. Both Collingwood and Hawks have good interceptors so if there was ever a need to be smarter going forward, that was it.

Boy do we miss Ellis. Link up running and covering the space has been non existent. Next best thing is sitting in the stands and that is Macintosh
Does Kmac fill the role?

I'll be watching the Saints - they are on the up I feel and especially at the ground that I won't name, we are in for a fight.

Exactly Brissie, we have a full coaches box surely someone sees this cause us fans certainly do.

We are not used to not having the game on our terms. We are out of our comfort zone being forced to not have the game going at a frenetic pace & it's allowing time for the opposition defence to setup & their mids also getting in our fwd 50, causing us to just bomb it in long. Normally we have it coming in at a fast pace giving us more space & the smalls to create havoc.

100% agree the inside 50's are atrocious.
Some of them last night hit the moon.
Prestia and Pickett were culprits last night.
 
Who's out of form at Stkilda?
Carlisle?
Brown?
Howard?

They will be in the best next week if we can't fix our entries going inside 50.
 
If Dusty does play next week Ratten will send Jack Steele to him.
Steele did the job on Bomponmytelly last week.
 
Look forward to Butler kicking a bag against us while Rioli and Castagna have clean knees until the last 5 minutes
 
We rarely make 4 changes so I doubt it will happen. Probably just the two obvious ins Dusty and Baker, outs take your pick, a lot to choose from.

Bulter is a crafty smart footballer.
Im not sure what he was on for us to trade him, but when it comes to playing on the Telstra Dome that will help him alot. Dry fast track.
Good luck catching him
