Changes V Dees

Bauer

Yeah, he could be picked- i wouldnt read much into being an emergency last week though- we had to pick 4 out of 5!

Where would he play? i dont think we will go in with just Ryan or Miller as ruck, so if he plays forward he would be the 3rd tall, which might be ok.
As a back what role would he play in the AFL? and how would he fit alongside Balta, Young, Grimes and Vlastuin- i cant see any of those guys moving out of our unsettled backline at this point.

im not against his selection, just not sure where he would fit at this point.

I wonder if the MC read PRE for advice on team selection?

Balta needs to be set free!!!

He must play on the wing or in the ruck. Richo style, drifting forward. He's dangerous anywhere near 60 metres out.

Let's use his athleticism, his good marking and booming kick to cause damage.

I feel like he is being held back.

Let's see what he can bring to the table, on his terms.

Seriously. When has he ever done anything to suggest any of this. Castles in the air.
He needs to put his head down and watch Rance tapes. That is all.

A lot who underperformed and made crucial mistakes last week - Balta, Hugo, Grimes, Taranto, Bolton, Miller & Ryan (in no particular order).

If Gawn plays he will have a field day - lets hope they give him one more week!
In some ways this match is a free hit, I don't think many believe we can win!
I realise Bauer has been playing back a bit but is a good mark and kick

Short must be a chance to play and Cotchin should play off a 10 day break.

Out: Hugo, Miller
Ins: Short, Bauer

Ryan as 1st ruck is a risk and we will have to get creative with 2nd rucks (Jack up forward, Young down back and maybe Pickett on occasions)(Less of an issue if Gawn is out).

Maybe Balta on occasions but I don't like it as a long term strategy.

Can’t have 1 ruck against Gawn & Grundy

Can’t have 1 ruck against Gawn & Grundy

Would agree - hoping Gawn doesn't play.

Bauer has to come in to help Jack. We need more than just 1 target in this game.

Who's going to pick up his dummy? We don't need another player lacking emotional control, so keep him in the two's until he matures.

We've really missed Short in recent weeks. He's part of the connection chain from defensive 50 to forward 50. Hopefully, he plays next week. Ralphy just doesn't have it atm (not sure if he ever will but hey he's only played 20 odd games), so clean swap.
Bauer or Ross to come in depending on forward and midfield structure.

About time Ralphy stopped prancing around like a long-haired Prima Donna (look at me, look at me) and actually worked harder on his skills and looked like a professional. And that goes for about 10 of his mates. 12 goal smashing coming up this week.

The problem is that they are.

 

[tigermike]

Yes and that's ridiculous as his last 2 full games were in Final in Brisbane and 1 this year both games in our 5 best players. Harshly treated and scapegoat

And he can see the poor disposal of the two mids we recruited so how does that make him feel? His VFL form will therefore suffer making his situation worse. He won't stay unless Dimma wakes up.
