Changes v GWS

Well two more changes likely to the team this week and our already weak midfield is even weaker with Shai out for a while. Will be interesting if Rioli will play this week with stitches under they eye or if he is suspended for this nightclub incident. After all CCJ and Stack got suspended so it will be interesting to see what the club does this time
Wasn't that suspension for a COVID breach?

And bringing the club into disrepute at the same time. No punch up over a kebab would only meant a fine and a week off
That suspension was issued by the AFL not the club.
In this case there's no reason for the AFL to be involved and looks like the club has already decided no disciplinary action

With Keefe out and I think Davis is still out ? Time to go the 3 headed monster under the dome roof, we haven’t got any smalls left so we may as well try and mark it

Naish sub again? If he can't crack a game now he never will.

Starting to run out of players :(. Think either an underdone Stack or Dow will have to play now.
It looks like we may have to roll the dice and give the youngbloods decent game time. Could make the list managers task difficult if some like RCD Ross and some untried come thru or easier at the end of the year If they don’t. Let’s hope some gems emerge
 
Mansell was poor on Friday but I reckon he stays in to continue to allow Baker to play up the ground.
Dow has played one game and looked miles off the pace so can't see him coming in.
Wonder if they will bring in Caddy or Naish on a wing to allow Pickett to remain in the midfield? personally I'd try RalphSmith First.
Stack's played 3 games as a mid/fwd, if he is fit he is an option.

I'm not sold on Naish, too timid like egg.
Don't think we can carry Ross and Martyn in the same midfield group.

I'm thinking RalphSmith & Grimes for Bolton & Edwards. With Grimes back Astbury or Balta can be ruck relief instead or Pickett.

Is it just me or is it that we always find ourselves in a shitestorm that somehow galvanizes the team in an "us against the world" mindset? I feel that we play better when faced with adversity and with an underdog status. It's like 2020 minus the hub and plus the crowds. :gotiges
