Changes v Western Bulldogs.

Samson for Miller
Mansell for MRJ
Ross for Graham and it would be spot on.
Once more we go into a game giving the opposition an advantage.
Post game chat will be if Ross or MRJ were in we may have pinched it etc
 
How many turnovers from Jack 'concrete boots' Graham?
4 from 14 disposals so not much better. I thought Graham was disappointing playing extra midfield minutes last week, but was good round 1 and 2 playing the Lambert type role
 
The only player who applies defence pressure and tackling not only up forward all around the ground last week gets dropped puzzling I know he needs more involvement, but so do others more senior.

Graham played well in Rounds 1 and 2, a bit down last week for sure, but bear in mind that a team is picked over a period of time. A player doesn't stay in due to 1 game, and a player doesn't go out due to 1 off game.

If anything though you are consistent on a Thursday night, Complain, complain, complain.

Are you talking MRJ? He didn't kick any goals last week
 
Not keen on this no Cotchy business. Obviously needs a spell, but I don't like it.

Yeah, I'm ok with Riewoldt getting managed but less so Cotch.

I'd be content with him as the sub to come on the second half as a fresh battering ram and smash 'em in the midfield.

I think it seems logical for Cotch to be the sub. I think MRJ will go back to the 2's with the aim to get more footy, Miller you'd be surprised to pick a tall on a day that is supposed to rain. Ross is an option as sub, but prefer if he keeps getting full games either in the 1's or 2's, plus Cotch is more explosive to come on.

Well I suppose it is Easter, someone needs to be crucified this weekend, looks like its going to be us. We won the free kick count last week, so they have been deployed to ensure that *smile* doesn't happen again.

Could Cotchin be the greatest sub the game has ever seen?
Comes on in the last quarter and sends 6 opposition players to hospital with broken collarbones and concussions and turns the game in our favour.
What a luxury

All of them when they team up on him. Would be nice if the umps protected him but that isnā€™t happening.
Canā€™t lay a finger on Naughton on Saturdayā€¦ in comparison, Lynch has 1 free for the season

Maybe the reason for that is the fact he is usually covering for 2-3 players. Has sacrificed his game each week to cover for others who wouldnt/couldnt chase and now he gets dropped. Joke.
It's not a joke, it's development. Long game. Round 4.

Mj has the club knows is a work in progress,
Needs a bigger tank,
More offence,
More fitness,
All will come in time.

And to think that several experienced coaches with multiple premierships and day to day look at players with knowledge of every touch they get don't know way way way more about selections that anyone here.
