Old old old, feels like a continuation of Hardwick mistake of last 2 years. I hope we're not waiting until mathematically impossible again to give youngsters a go in 24. Expected more youngsters round 0. Wasn't going to happen with the ins for this week. 4 is already alot of changes after 1 round with no injuries. View attachment 22069
I knew we were fatter
 
Ooze said Lynch won't play 100%. So I reckon he gets subbed off or benched more often. Big job for Balta to do in ruck and forward. Should've kept Kosi in I reckon.
Won’t get subbed. Will just manage his minutes and make it work.

The youngsters who deserve a go are getting one.

Over the next few weeks, players like Brown and Sonsie will get in.

Hopefully McAuliffe will too, but he's yet to even play a VFL game, so let's just see what he's got.

Wanker Whateley on AFL360: "90,000 at the G tomorrow night, if you're a Blues fan you must be there..."

WTF does he actually mean? Blooze should be there to witness a thrashing by them to us?

If the game is close can't see Lynch sitting on the pine.

Cripps unstoppable?Is there a Stewart about?
Wish there was. Cripps 25,34,30,28,31,32, 37, 36 last 8 disposal counts against Tigers. Fully fit atm early in the season. Don't see how we stop the inside bull.

Feel we are 1 tall forward short considering Lynch hasn't played for a year and Balta needing to give a substantial chop out to an underdone Nank in the ruck. Lynch will have to compete against 2 or 3 when Balta rucks.

Disagree. Watching pre-season, if we're serious about change of guard and giving youngsters opportunities, quite a few more youngsters deserve to be given a go in place of fringe older players (read Kmac, Pickett, Grimes now very fringe) . A 27yo team on our slide down the ladder makes little sense to me. It is what it is. More of the same of the last 2 years atm.

I do like McAuliffe and Brown. Tresize, Lefau, Green, Clarke looking great. But we'll never know until they get AFL experience.

PS how is Colina still on the list?
