This a massive massive game, knock these blokes off an other games go the right way too 4 is still a remote chance an we are locked in September.
With Edwards the only real possabilty is it worth the risk as he may well be the difference? Or back the team in an bring Edwards back for a run against Essendon? Only other maybe change would be Dea for a match up on an Elliot or Fasolo if they feel he'd be better then Morris.

Exactly right Corn Chips. Huge game and we need to bring A grade attitude and intensity. We would do well to remember that we have only beaten Scumwood once since 2007 and that was earlier this year by 5 points. They always give us a lot of trouble. The lack of tackling intensity we displayed against GC won't anywhere near cut it against Scumwood.
Top 4 is still not out of the question. We must win every game and rely on Sydney dropping one game and the Dogs dropping 2 games; unlikely but not impossible given who they both play.
If Edwards is fit he must play. We have to win this game.

Don't forget Grimes when available, been excellent on the small forwards recently
It really doesn't matter how well Thomas and Morris played yesterday. It was against ineffective opposition. Morris falls over to often gives away to many free kicks and will be a serious liability in finals. And well Thomas is just to slow both by foot and decision making. Those two players are just filling in time to make way for Edwards, Conca and Grimes

Dunno who is actually "praising" them.
Some are realistic to know that given we've got a few injuries they came in and played their roles for thatgame. That's all you can ask of them.
Funnily enough, that's a bit different than those who were hoping they'd fail miserably just so they could say "told you they were duds".
Credit where its due though. Played well enough, but with some players to come back in when fit and ready, I doubt Thomas will stay. Morris, who knows?
But whoever is in the team, I just hope they can do the job for the teams sake rather than pat myself on the back and say "told you he is a dud" or "McBean should have played" (in the ruck, midfield, backline, wherever)

yep. Its pretty simple. You get some injuries and fringe players get a game, who aren't as good as the regular players. You want them to do OK to good and help the side get a win. Dunno why this is so hard for some people to grasp.

Not I Barnzy.
I'm under no illusions as to the no upside with these blokes but they came in and did a good job. Much better than the numpties who bagged them out expected. But when better players are available, pick em.
Personally I'm always reticent to bag players who give their all for the yellow and black. Fair comment is fine of course.
Even if these guys never get another game I appreciate their efforts.
If Edwards is right to go, they'll find someone to drop for him. I hope we can find a replacement for Morris before next week, because I shudder to think what Elliott may do against him.
