R3 Changes v GWS

interesting to see how they respond. All teams have champions our and can still deliver the goods, we must become one of those teams. There are some out of form players but dont think there will my mass changes. Essendon after that round 1 effort have made just 1 change

People calling for Houli to return. Was it really just a 1 week injury? Any confirmation he's available?

We really missed his run this week.

That's what they basically said. Could have possibly played but they are extra cautious on players these days. So on that basis you'd expect he'd be back in.

I think it was Dimma who said if it was a final he would have played, I’d say will have to wait till Thursday night

I reckon your correct in Balta but I doubt Houli and Garthwaite will play and I'm not sure the club reckon Ross is ready. Who they bring in is anyones guess but I'm sure it will be one of the usual suspects who are fringe players at best..
 
To many small forwards & not enough who can get their hands on the ball. Only problem is who is our midfield depth ? Basically only the new kids & perhaps Townsend could go through there but we have been there & done that.
 
Balta is a must for JR. A tall forward and second ruck. Both needed last night.
Houli for Grimes.
Ross is a must..we are not hard enough in the clearances. In for Markov who was very poor.
Weller is not up to it when the game is tough. Replace with either Baker or Bolton.

We were too small last night and too weak in the clearances.

When Grimes and Caddy are back we will be better. Add JR and a few games under our belt and we will be ok.
But.....clearly good sides can beat our tackling pressure with quality ball retention mark Andrea kick until inside 50.
Dimma has to come up with an alternate plan.
Dimma was well beaten by Figgy again. Twice in a row and did not learn from last time.
 
Out Jack Grimes Weller Markov Ellis Butler
In Balta Houli Ross Baker Aarts Moore
 
Out jack grimes weller markov

In balta garthy bolton houli

I thought brando was pretty good
 
Out Jack, Grimes, Markov, Weller, Butler
In Balta (to play forward to replace Jack) , Garthwaite( if ready back to replace rance ), Chol ( 2nd ruck filling in gaps role ) , Ross, Bolton
 
Is Callum Jones any chance to debut ? with Jack out, he could slip in as a forward ruck , a goal kicking forward ruck is exactly what need and helps Nanks out.
Our own version of Cox.

What about Nank doing this and Soldo in the ruck?
