Changes v Dees

Hopefully the Colt gets picked in the 22, wouldn't mind Mansell or Clarke as sub if he runs out of legs.
 
I agree,

But id like to squeeze bauer another debut.

Im also resentful that JRoss's ascent comes with Marlions descent.

Gotta put marlion somewhere he can play
I agree about giving Bauer another go if he gets through training this week.
Marlion's game has dropped off no doubt largely due to his personal problems but also age does start to catch up on you and the body and mind don't always sync. Ross is still young, learning and flourishing under Mini.

With nearly a full list to choose from (damn you Mate Colina!) will this be the opportunity to rest a Cotch or Dion?

I'd be loathe to rest either of them this week. We need lots of experience on field imo. Load up with youth on the bench & subs.

It's a nice problem to have, its a pity we weren't in this position earlier in the year

INS: Coulthard, Short, Cumbo,

OUT - Pickett, Mansell, Cotchin (rest)

SUB - Mansell

Would love to see Bauer given another chance but not sure it will happen this week.
 
If we make the finals, we know our midfield and backline are playing well enough but we seem to still be finding the right mix in the forward line. We know we have been relying a bit on the mids to kick our goals but these two players Cumberland & Bauer could add a real point of difference, exciting actually to the forward setup.

Going by Mini's Presser on Cumbers 2.50 secs in, he's a likely in.

"Noah's form was outstanding last week and watching the game back this week from when we last played Melbourne early in the year he was really influential in that game as well. He's put himself in the frame to be selected, for sure".

why do people keep wanting to move Balta. Having a breakout year at Full back and marking everything. LEAVE HIM THERE
