Changes v GWS

God i hope we r not so desperate to bring Chol in. Huge liability this bloke. He simply does not have a crack... Caddy in for me and play fwd 3rd tall and Rioli into the middle with Baker at times...

Agree
If we’re to bring in a big bloke - it should be CCJ before Chol

.so a midfield of nank martin baker pickett has no appeal?
Nothing wrong with those blokes, but they're already a half portion of our usual midfield. Ya need about seven or eight to rotate through during a game, not three n fresh air.

Cotch, Presty, Shedda, Shai out of the midfield to be replaced by .............................................
Ross, R2D2, ?????? There's a massive shortfall of experience, mature body n premium bloody talent.

.really maso?....who would have thought-tell me more...what are we going to do-roll over & sulk?
.my point is baker, pickett & martin are all best utilised predominantly mid field now...not forward, back or wing...rotate off bench
.rotate with graham, george, ralph, rcd, mancell, ross whoever u like...these 3 need to accept & step up to more mid field time.
.& if a 3rd tall fwd/ruck is ignored at selection again the coach has lost the plot.

Wasn't me who asked the foolish half baked question ankles, no need to get all snippety coz ya didn't like the answer.
You've got so many answers n instructions there perhaps ya should be ringin the club n telling them to kick Dimma out of the coaches box so ya can take over.
 
Hugo Ralphsmith to debut on Saturday so there is 1 in
Have just got back from training.

Baker setting up in midfield.

Hugo did seem to be part of the A team although it was a bit of mix and match.

I think the in's will be Grimes and Hugo.

No spark from Stack today so not in my calculations to come in.

I been told by a close contact that Hugo has been told he is playing. Not sure if they will play as a running defender or in the middle (assume with baker in middle he will be running defender (bakers role). How did they all look at training?

Was Caddy part of this midfield group at training? I kinda think that if he's not selected this week, he's finished at richmond.

It was pretty depressing watching training:

No Shai
Cotch and Prestia only ran a few slow laps just when I thought Prestia was getting close?
Soldo and Shedda walked one lap only.
Cumberland left knee bandaged also walking laps.
Mate` Colina still rehab only
Only bit of good news that after being absent for 2 weeks Lambert at least out there doing some rehab.

As I mentioned I expected to see more spark from Syd.

Good to see backline core back together, other than that we just await the mystery box come Sat night.

Who was in the A team midfield Caesar?
 
That doesn't sound hopeful on the reinforcement front. Probably won't get anyone back till after the bye.

Was CCJ in the A team how was he ?.
 
He was what I perceive to be in the B team but that could just be to oppose Nank? and was only a 20 minute drill.
Not sure we need a 2nd ruck against GWS.
I reckon perfect game for him to introduce against Mummy we need another tall making option.
 
I hear the AFL is reverting back to Thursday night teams (thank god). Does that start from this week or next?
