Changes v Mutts

Sorry but disagree on Ross. Always underwhelmed by what he does at AFL level. Stack's impact was off the scale good.

Ross to me is pretty average right now. Skills - average. Pace - average. Decision making/play making ability - average. He is only 19 but not sure he will be anything more than a depth mid. Have only seen Dow play twice and even then only briefly but he already stands out as having AFL traits to me. He looked like he had time when he got the ball. Ross always looks under the hammer when he gets it and his disposals have no hurt factor. As I said he is only 19 so should have improvement in him but plenty sell him as a young gun and he's far from it to me.

I reckon Ross will be a gun. Hasn't fired in 2 games this year but played some excellent games last year. Only played 9 games so far and was hampered by injury in 2019. Give him time.

Exciting young team, if the kids play to their best we are a good chance.
 
They can get a bit creative here . Play Chol as a tall back and have Balta play the Flossy role.

Broad Grimes Chol
Short Balta Eggy
Stack Bolton Pickett
Aarts Castagna Baker
Jack Tom Higgins
Soldo Dusty Lambert

Cotchin Ross Markov Kmac
 
Interesting to see how Oleg goes ... he has the speed
Not happy with Oleg’s selection. Seen enough to know he struggles at the level. He’s the same as Naish. Geez...scratching head as to why RCD can’t get a crack (even Dow)....
 
Oleg has played a lot up forward in recent times. Not sure who plays Vlas role.
I'd like to see him up forward, but with Vlas out I think he'll play back, he played as a defender in the scratch match on the weekend.

Oleg has a good debut season but since then with injuries and whenever he has been given a chance has struggled somewhat.

Would have liked to see RCD or Dow. Bit hard for Dow as I think he didn’t play in the practice match..

Maybe with Oleg he provides flexibility he roles he can play .

Look hope he does well.

I'd actually play Stack there, he takes a good intercept mark and can mop up well. Signs were he would play midfield though.

Oleg should've probably been delisted before Menadue.

He was just lucky to have an extra year.

Has been ordinary every time hes come in since his debut year.

Never looked like it too soft to be a defender, no presence as a winger at AFL level so pressure forward may be his last chance and this game might well be his last chance.

I am not a fan but in saying that I hope he kicks 5 goals.

Tigga being managed imo, if he had a serious issue he wouldve come from the field during the game.

Vlas might just have a slight bit of tightness and with 2 more games in quick time coming, the club has no doubt taken the safe option to rest him.

Should we risk him and he does his calf he'll be done for 5-6 weeks.

Happy to see Stacky in hopefully he's had his foot up the arse and is ready to play more akin to his ability.

The side desperately needs him to.
