Changes v Skunks

Jack graham is a good replacement for Hops

Bakes is a good replacement for shorty

Vlastuin Is a good replacement for broady

Dusty is obviously irreplaceable, but given dimma said cumberland plays the same role, its logical he replaces him

So we are essentially replacing

Jack Graham, Liam Baker and Nick Vlastuin

Jack ross is logical replacement for JG

Any number of tough midget debutants replace bakes - i think we'll see one of them?

And Banks on form and type is probably vlastuins replacement?

So im gonna guess

Out: broad, short, hopper, martin

In: banks, cumberland, ross and biggie (masquerading as a massive midget)

And the annual classic tiger improbable victory.

Pies will have alot of bathwater sloshing around their guts

The upside is that both Dusty and Hops are expected to be available for R4. This is an absolute free hit and I’m starting to get Port at AO in 2019 vibes about this ;)

I'm looking forward to Sam Banks playing at some stage if not this week.
As said on here before, he's captained every team he's played in.
That says something about the type of character he is and given an opportunity i reckon he'd take it.

It was always doom and gloom when Prestia - Grimes - Vloss and Tom where unavailable.... They are all playing .. We'll be ok if we come out with the right intent

Had a look through the VFL report and it would seem that the following are vying for each position.

Broad - Biggie (if we go tall), Hugo or Banks if smaller - Its a shame Tom Brown is injured
Short - Ross, Clarke or Banks
Hopper - Sonsie or Ross
Dusty - Could be Mansell into the starting lineup, Clarke or Cumberland (though his write up in the VFl wasn't great and it wasn't his best game watching the game on TV)

I suspect if Miller was going to play instead of Broad then he would have played back but largely played ruck / forward. Biggie probably similar so might be more likely 1 of the smaller players comes in for Broad.
 
May as well rest Prestia, Lynch & Grimes now also. Percentage doesn't matter given the draw.

They are big outs but we love a challenge.

We are only two games in. Nobody really has an idea how this game will go as we haven't played the same opposition yet.

Be even sweeter to beat them with key players missing.

It is a free hit. The way I see it, we lost to Carl first up last year, and lost to the Crows at AO. So drawing with Carl and beating the Crows, we're 6 points up this year already.

Yep. Pisses me off everytime Mihochek marks and goals. Good to see him out, and let's face the facts that Duz isn't at his best anymore, and isn't fast anymore, so it's best we start blooding our future against a team that's done the same.
 
Get it Fly? Time for lesson 2.

Well we should its the RFC gameplan ........simple.

Even everything he says is what was said at the RFC, its system based blah blah blah not personel.

The extra advantage these campaigners have got is they also get sucked off by the Umpires unlike the RFC.

Theyve just plagiarized everything Richmond.

Glad theyve been called out on it.

We should have beaten Geelong at the G last year without Hopper, Taranto and Prestia
