Team selection vs Geelong Cants

Why would Miller be under the pump?

Yeah, what a bizarre take.

We are running out of talls front and back and Miller has done good in the face of of midfield protection for the backline.

Its like people asking for Pickett to be dropped - just plain wrong and won't happen.

If we dont see long term players available, we should draft the best VFL players at other clubs, so they can play for us instead!
We could if our aim is a vfl premiership.

As an aside I find it incredible that our VFL team is 5-3 given the injuries we have had to both the afl and vfl lists.

He seems like a quality person and is playing really well at vfl level but to me unless we see him in our long term plans then I don't see the point. ( we may see him in long term plans btw, he isn't that old).
Otherwise play the kids even if Garner would be better than them in the seniors right now.
I wonder if he even nominated?
Yes, he nominated and we don't need long term picks.
We need players than can contribute now and for the short term until the end of the season.
 
Mr Squiggle on strike.
At loggerheads with mgmt.
Crayons at 20 paces!

Back on topic.
The Salty one will be smug this week, let's do them slowly!
Would love for it to backfire.
Gonna be hard without $hai.
 
What I'd do this week:

In: Smith, Trezise, Coulthard
Out: Short, Dow, Bolton

SUB last week: Green

B: Brown (O.Henry) Miller (Hawkins) Vlastuin (Stengle)

HB: D.Rioli (Miers) Broad (Cameron) Smith (Close)

C: McIntosh (Dempsey) Sonsie (Bruhn) Ralphsmith (Tuohy)

HF: Campbell (Z.Guthrie) Martin (Kolodjashnij) Baker (Mullin)

F: Lefau (Stewart) Balta (de Koning) Cumberland (J.Henry)

FOLL: Nankervis (Conway or Stanley), McAuliffe (Holmes), Prestia (Atkins)

INTER: Pickett (Bowes), Trezise (Rohan), Coulthard (Duncan), Ryan (Neale)
SUB: Dow (O'Connor)

Very tempting to give Kosi a run, needs to build his confidence at vfl in defence until completion therein he can return to the senior side. Pickett to return to inside mid assisting Dusty as the #4-5 punch, Dow to slot in once subbed on and Pickett to move wherever practicable.

Personally I believe Balta will play back again. Again opinion on what I think will happen ( not to be confused with my opinion on what selection should be) is that there is no way Short and Dow will lose their places. I also think that Graham will play.

I agree, that has no bearing on my opinion and how I would do it though.

Remembering what happened to Graham last time they may be better to ease him back.

Good effort against second top side & with a bit of luck could have knocked them off. Bolton big loss aginst Catters. Changes Mansell Graham inked in & maybe Kosi as Samson had a shocker. I would manage Kickett keep Steely in. Miller must be under pump to hold his spot.
Ummm. Pretty sure that Kickett bloke played for Essendrugs n Sydaknee a long time ago, we don't have one of him.
