Changes v lolNorf

If Gibcus & Balta do make it back, could Miller pinch hit in the ruck?
He's 199-200 cm, and pretty athletic.
Pretty sure he played ruck in the scrimmage games during the 2020 lock downs, and went OK.

In Ryan Bauer Balta mansell
Out nanks soldo lynch Mrj

Bauer has showed very little so far, no way he gets a game IMO. Would prefer Gibcus forward for structure unless Dusty is right to sit close to goal all day.

Vlaustin back so no need for Mansel.

Ryan yes.

So many others that should be dropped, (JNR, Castagna, Aarts), it's a challenging exercise that is why we need to roll the dice on Dusty, Balta and Cotch.

Training watch is going to be very interesting this week.

Bauer looks underwhelming to me so far. Not sure about his mid year selection to be honest. Hasn’t done enough to deserve a game.

We have recruited too many skinny project players. A cupboard empty of hard bodied back up players ready to go. Recruitment closely followed by development has been sub par

In Ryan Nicky V Gibcus Clarke Ross
Out Soldo Nank Aarts Dow Lynch

Gibcus Forward
Miller as 2nd ruck(desperate i know)
Cumberland medium forward
one less tall in the team..
George and shedda should be out but they wont
Prestia,Graham,Ross,Pickett,bolton,baker,short to roll through the middle..
perhaps even give the likes of mjr a run?

Wouldn't be taking risks with the likes of Balta..
 
*smile* me. I have $250k in my bank account at the moment waiting to settle on an investment property. That would yield me $2.5m. That has to be worth considering given who we have out and how we played late yesterday
50k would be tempting.
 
Grimes Tarrant baker
Vlastuin Broad Rioli
Ralphsmith Pickett Mcintosh
Cumberland Balta Bolton
Edwards Riewoldt Gibcus
Ryan graham Prestia
Miller Castagna Aarts short

Not sure on Dusty lambert Cotchin Ross

IN- Vlastuin Balta Gibcus Ryan
Out. - lynch soldo nankervis MRJ
 
Out - Lynch, Nank, Soldo, Castagna (must be punished after that performance), Aarts, Dow
In - Gibcus (playing fwd), Ryan, Balta (if fit), otherwise Sonsie or Dow stays in , Vlastuin (Baker to move back up the ground), Cumberland (into starting 22), Ross

Its a tough one to pick, but for me Dimma raised why we lost, those players most at fault for that (George and Aarts) simply must be dropped, we have to make a statement. I would have Miller rucking in our defence 50 (and we need to set up defensively for those ruck contests) and Ryan can take anything further up the ground.

Grimes Miller Broad
Vlastuin Tarrant D Rioli
Pickett Short Kmac
Edwards Gibcus Baker
Cumberland Riewoldt MRJ
Ryan Prestia Bolton

I/C Hugo, Balta / Sonsie or Dow, Ross, Graham

With every action there must be an equal and opposite reaction....................still waiting for Giligan, Salty Scotts and Shocking to cop their reaction.
 
Just give me your money if you want to back Norf. We should have beaten a damn good side on their home deck. They had an improved showing but lost on their home ground against a team ripe for a loss.

Surely Soldo can nurse a broken thumb and just body-up on Goldy?

In: Gibcus Vlastuin Ross Ryan
Out: Nank Lynch Dow Aarts George

B: Broad Tarrant Grimes
HB: Baker Vlastuin DRioli
C: Pickett Ross McIntosh
HF: Short Edwards Graham
F: Cumberland Riewoldt Gibcus
R: Soldo Prestia Bolton
I: Ralphsmith Miller Ryan MRioli
S: Dow

One bloke I don’t want to see in is Parker. One of the worst disposers of a ball I’ve ever seen. We’d be better off going in a player short. Admittedly we went in two short last night with George and Aarts. The three of them should be jettisoned during the off season. We know what they give and it’s not anything we can use.
