Changes v Aints

[Stig]

Because he's been our best midfielder in the VFL for the last 6 weeks, it shouldn't be at Banks' expense but he deserves a game.

We are already playing 7 defenders
Banks had to go
Playing Dow is the obviously choice
Stand out VFL player over last month
Rotation through midfield and forward of ball
I like it !!

 

[Stig]

Why has Banks been dropped and Dow gets a start in the 22?

Banks been very average last 2 weeks
And we are already playing 7 defenders with Grimes returning

Banks has been played as a defender but he is a winger. Could and should be playing on a wing

 

[toothless]

Dow's inclusion says a bit about Mini's faith in Graham playing midfield off last week especially. Blew it.

Surely Dow is on his last chance, peform or dud. delist.

Shouldn't play then. Ditto Rioli.

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

There have been plenty of times the language from the club has been intimating that we're out of the finals race. We've selected accordingly, even though we can make it if we win all three.

Me too. Reward blokes who are doing the things asked of them to get promoted. No issue with that whatsoever if there is a spot for them. Hopper out Dow in. There is his spot. Like for like.

 

[22nd Man]

Soldo and Nank in the same team again.

What’s the definition of insanity?

The meaning of INSANITY is a severely disordered state of the mind usually occurring as a specific disorder.

Spot on. Should have stayed in. Give KMac or Pickett a rest (neither are contracted for next year) . Always dropping the youngsters first at the first opportunity.

Yep definitely would have loved the chance to see Banks on a wing
Opportunity missed there

I hope we also get the chance to see Brown. Maybe that will happen if we are officially out of finals contention. Love the way he uses the ball as well. Both he and Banks have foot skills we miss at a senior level.

 

[K3]

I think other clubs are fully aware of what Soldo gives by now. He's contracted in 2024 anyway. We're not looking to trade him, we have a lack of ruckmen. We've given far few games to youngsters this year (and last).

It feels like we've given far too few opportunities to the youngsters since 2017, hence a number leaving to get a game elsewhere.

 

[K3]

I ain’t
Dow is an onballer , banks a defender. We already have 7 defenders

Reckon he is a winger first and foremost.

Kmac hasn't had a great season....

Looks like Mansell is sub as Ryan, Ralph-Smith and Banks all playing in VFL.

 

[AstuteTiger]

Banks and Ralpsmith playing VFL so Mansell will be the SUB

 

[Dont Argue]

In: Cotchin, Hopper.
Out: Bauer, Coulthard, Mansell.
Dropping Bauer is a disgrace

Surely a late withdrawal?

Wrong thread. Last week.

 

[nafe brown]

What a joke the coaches are they ALL should be gone at years end we need to continue to develop the next batch and instead we are wasting valuable game time into players who don't deserve them.
