Changes vs Port Adelaide

Banks. Meh.

I'd prefer to give hugo another go than Banks, who is ultra soft in the contest. Some players just get picked. Mansell is another average campaigner. FFS put Clarke in for his ball use, speed and goal-kicking nouse and get Mansell out.

Don't really rate Banks but Hugo is double meh. Absolute butcher.

Clarke should be in ahead of both although he has a way to go as well.

At least, he goes in. Geez if we are deciding on players due to ball use, half the team should be out lol.

Clarke has been doing well in the ressies. Id have him ahead of Banks and Mansell in a heart beat.

Hugo Ralphsmith (11 disposals, seven marks, five inside-50s)

"His run and carry once again stood out, and I thought his ball use was excellent. I think he's got a great balance between offence and defence at the moment, and he's in some really good form."

11 disposals? I treat VFL coaches comments as seriously as Gai Waterhouse comments about her horses.

All the VFL players are doing really well and all Gai's horses are gonna win.

There could have been one or two more youngsters bought in but this is already a very young team. No Broad, and Ben Miller has the biggest job.
NV in great form but possibly with a dicky knee so just hoping that Grimes can pull his weight.
Otherwise expect Lefau back early.
Maybe Noah as well.

No Trezise again. Coach obviously doesn't like something & you'd have to think it's his ball use that's holding him back.
Probably more likely to be used to replace Broady or Tigga if they get injured or suspended.

I like his toughness and the fact he is an effort player.

Bit different to Brown who has the better wheels and skills but hasn't really shown the same desperation or effort as Trezise in play.

Different players
