Changes v Dees

Pathetic that Cumbo after a great game in VFL kicking 6 goals hasn’t been picked in the starting 22
Once again MC have gone for Mansell the battler and the out of form Pickett over him
Look elsewhere Cumbo go where they appreciate your talent
If Mini is a convincing head in MC he has just lost me for next year & beyond
 
i think the 'No Change' is about continuity ..

although Short would've come in for Banks you'd imagine

Cumberland kicking 6 should give him the Subs vest, but I liked how Coulthard looked when he came on..
..and I bet the MC did as well
Mansell goes harder than Cumberland, probably why he gets the nod ?

i dunno, hard one, probably what McQualter was referring to when he mentioned "toughest match committee..."

I'd like to see him play more than one stand-out game in the VFL, showing he's above the level and more reliable in effort, confidence and concentration.

Goal kicking forward not selected.

Hope I’m wrong. Their backline will intercept everything.



Baffling really.

Is contracted for next year?
Not if they play smarter with forward leads and no long bombs to Jack. Up to the coaches to make sure that happens.

It is a fine line. If we had lost by a point there would have been at least 3 changes.

Bottom line is ,this team continues to win and Mini knows what role he’s got each player doing .

For me really dissapointed that a 6 goal game dosent get Cumberland a game and Picketts invisible form continues to get him a game , still don’t like Miller in front of Ryan and reckon I’d have run with Coulthards hot form .

Seems it wasn’t just Dimma who put defensive pressure over scoring ability in our forwards as a priority

I hope they dont typecast Matty C as a sub specialist after last week.

Small forward line and Lever and May will get 20 intercept marks between em if they play dumb dump kick into 50.

They play Shai forward to cover for a lack of small forwards, then we lose his influence in the middle.

He has been quite consistent, not only his 10 goals in the last 3 weeks and a handful of goal assists, but he is also finding the ball. You must reward good form.

RD 18 - 14 disposals, 5 marks, and 6 goals
RD 17 - 14 disposals, 6 marks, and 2 goals
RD 16 - 15 disposals, 5 marks, and 2 goals

I agree Coulthard looked great but they may have considered that starting on the ground when everyone is fresh with no fatigue in their legs, could mean he doesn't break away quite so easily. I'd like him to be sub again since he's only been at the club less than 2 months.
