Changes vs St. Kilda

Reckon Sonsie will be sub. Ralphsmith needs a full run so he'll play VFL and I reckon it won't be Banks as I can't recall us ever playing a first gamer as a sub. Can't possibly play soldo as sub.

I'm not sure why there is so much angst about these changes.

It's two forced changes, and we're bringing in two guys who've been around the best 22 for the last two years.

It'd be nice to see Banks, but we need to win, not blood another kid right now.

Coulthard? He was playing at Glenelg 6 minutes ago, and weighs as much as Millers left calf. A prospect, but not right now.

Ralphsmith can't play. It seems like Mcqualter has a difference of opinion to Hardwick on his.

The reserves offered us nothing. Millers been somewhere between serviceable and decent in all his games this year, and positionally, can replace Pickett.

MRJ can do Mansell's role, and has.

While both the outs have been good this year, neither is a linchpin.

We've won two good games in a row, and are trying to maintain.

Good selections.

Wasn't MRJ coming back from a hammy?

Maybe his run in the VFL was restricted/managed by club and himself,

We know he brings incredible pressure and I would like to think (hope) the club know what they're doing.....................
Kicking is a big problem. He is also one sided with his handball. His dad was great at disposal whichever foot (and hand), mostly left of course, but he was so slick compared to the norm, he could of headed his passes if he wished.

Now there’s a thought.

Agree. We've won two tough games in a row - Mini will only make forced changes, and he'll go with AFL experience over potential. Expectations that he'll rush kids who were playing in the SANFL two weeks ago are just unrealistic.
