True. But this time it happened at our fortress.

*smile*.

If menadue markov ellis play in the same side, i would mortgage my farm and put the lot on gold coast to beat us, let alone gws.

Love to see caddy back though. I think even though its only r3, we need to roll the dice and play him.

Think $hai must be given an opportunity to dance also

Well need dusty lynchy danny cotchy dion lambert to play to their best to win.

Ill guess

Out; jack grimes weller markov
In; caddy balta $hai baker

Having said all that, if vlastuin is out, id play 10 blokes behind the ball and hope to preserve some %

LOL, no Rance, Grimes or Vlastuin (3 best interceptors) means we lose any game, regardless of opposition. I can see I am going to get extra pissed at the pub on Saturday to help numb the pain
 
after last week’s performance I reckon you make 10 changes !

here’s what I would do and how I would line on Saturday

in Balta-Garth-Moore-Caddy-Ross

out Dylan-Jack-Butler-Markov-Weller

Broad-Dave-Garth

Vlas-Balta-Short

Edwards-Martin-Mclntosh

Castagna-Moore-Rioli

Caddy-Lynch-Higgins

Toby-Graham-Cotch

Lambert / Ross / Ellis / Dion

That's actually 5 changes
 
What I would like to see:
Bolton in for Weller (more upside, more x-factor, can make things happen)
Balta in to play Rance’s role - (replaces Grimes) OK, it may take some time but this is his big chance! Time to take it!
Ross into the middle.. this kid’s gonna be a beauty... (Jacks place but obviously not like for like)
Maybe Naish or Townsend (looked really good in the twos) or Baker for Markov (don’t think he is up to this level)

WTF happened in pre-season? We're suddenly falling down like 9 pins.

Not sure pre season can be blamed for a knee injury, broken arm or suspension.
I'll give you houli and vlastuin if true. Grigg, caddy, garthwaite... perhaps you do have a point.

Don't forget Costagna , Lynch , Townsend

Half our team is either injured or unfit

Reckon they got it wrong at selection last week.

Why drop Balta and lose an option at the centre bounce?
As soon as Jack went in I was worried.
Make up of side against Pies wrong. Needed more talls, more tackling grunt.
So Balta and Garth, Tackling Towner are automatic ins?
And if Floss doesn't come up?

Match Committee will be earning their keep this arvo or whenever selection takes place.
Just get the make up right so we are fully competitive for 4 quarters.

And fingers crossed the Injury Gods start looking elsewhere.
