Great players get judged at a higher level. Nick is a brave tough and skilful. Yesterday he was ill disciplined ( cheap shots gave away three goals) sniping and everything he’s not. This was the most worrying part of yesterday. Not what leaders do.
Same as Ross the week before. What the *smile* was with throwing KMac into the ruck? Has he ever played there before.
IN: Naish, Balta, Dow, Graham, Rioli
OUT: Stack, Lambert, Houli, McIntosh, Ross
Put it to Rioli, it’s time. Sink or swim. Chase, tackle, harass. Come off the ground completely stuffed.
Naish, a proper winger on the wing. Fancy that. No more experimenting with non wingman to play that role. Utterly stupid by our coaches.
Give Dow a go. No pressure. Show us what you can do.
Graham in the guts. Mr 1% just do what you do, make it hard for the opposition in there and feed our mids as you do so well. Drive from contest to contest.
Balta down back to stabilise.
I really want CCJ in the side for the two pure rucks. The system we had last year. Give him a go. Not sure who to drop though.

Still not enough cause for him to be dropped.
Can’t blame him for being frustrated. He has been our best performer to date. Let’s point the figure further up field where some are doing great impersonations of witches hats.
I reckon Love Machine would be leading our B&F.
being a trans-shitteam would be very, very frustrating and confusing.
Given that we have to travel for this game and there’s a short break I can’t see wholesale changes. Someone needs to make way for a second ruck and I think the club would be wise to give Dusty another week off to look after those ribs.
Some changes are needed, plenty of players out of form and I reckon we need to be taller.
Also, 2 rucks is not negotiable. Some of the players we have used as second ruck this year have just been absurd, I'm waiting for Liam Baker to have a go next.
So:
KMac should get another week, can't be easy adjusting from a scratch match to AFL level, you don't pick a player just for one week unless they are an injury replacement. We need his run.
Stack I think needs a break, he is right off and needs to build some form and get his arse into gear.
Lambert is clearly struggling but gets more chances, he has been vital to our structure, we really need him performing well.
Vlastuin, drop Vlastuin? FFS go ahead if you want us to tank for draft picks, otherwise forget it.
Graham I think is out of sorts so I wouldn't have him back in at the moment.
Caddy was effective on a wing last year so I reckon stays in.
Ross has not performed and I think we need more height and we need to make room for a second ruckman, would like more games to see if he can find form, not sure we can fit him in.
Castagna is on notice, he is running out of chances, has been MIA for the last 3 games.
In: CCJ, Balta - CCJ second ruck and Balta goes back. Possibly try Broad on a wing and Caddy further forward.
Out: Stack, Ross
Would really like to see Chol in along with Aarts and possibly Dow but who do we leave out? Players who have shown they have the ability to perform, especially in finals, is not something we should do on a whim, they are the players who got us 2 flags and deserve respect.

A place for CCJ as he is a quick lad, good hands and a bit like Ottens was , a ruck yet good resting forward. I do like the idea of trialing Broad on the wing. He can run all day, is a hard nut and has enough skill to fill Brando's space
The fickleness of PRE! So many of our team are under a cloud and need to look at themselves and question their right to play for RFC right now.
