I was to see the actually 18 as it's usually those on the extended bench that get dropped off. Those 3 ruckmen best NOT be in the selected 18.

No Gibbs

Or Carrazzo

When will we EVER learn.? 3 ruck men again? I give up......

Jeepers, not a lot to inspire in that lineup. I'll choose ... uh ... Menzel for FP, Joseph for Hartlett or someone, Bell to replace the loss of Ellard and ... maybe Bootsma.

NINJA EDIT - missed Cachia. Seemed a bit slow on Monday but he can have another crack. Leave Bell out.

We need him in the first 18.

I realise the selection process... But I thought after last week, it would not even be a flicker of a consideration.

Easy bench to predict.....Menzel, Bell, Rowe and Cachia.

No Gibbs, Carrazzo, Betts or Yarran, we're going to struggle big time.

I hope so!

I like Bootsma.... but i just don't think he's ready for it just yet.
No rush on the kid. Let him develop in the VFL for a year and add some weight and he could be a goer. But not yet.

I'd like MM to give bell a good 3 games straight from here on it. He's knows what he's role is and what he's capable of doing...... let's see him do it!


We should SMASH these pricks. But, that said, we should have smashed those Saints. I hate that Etihad ground. We always seem to play worse then what we actually are.

Beat Port, Beat Brisbane and go into Essendon* with some confidence.......

OUT: Betts Yarran Ellard

IN: Waite Bell Joseph

EMERG: Menzel Bootsma Rowe

I think MM will go for Joseph his week to have an experienced defensive small who can release pace of Armfield from the backline who needs to help cover the loss of Ellard, Yarran and Betts and those missing like Gibbs Carrazzo in the guts.

I also hope we get Simpson (circa 2011), Murphy (circa 2011), Judd (circa 2010), Kreuzer (circa 2009) Waite (circa 2005) playing for us this week.

We need to win this. Crucial

Don't think Rowe will come in.
Waite in for Hammer,
Menzel and Bell for Betts and Yarran

AJ (or maybe Bootsma) for Ellard

I think Rowe will. MM, when interviewed on CFC, said the forward line badly needed re-structuring as it wasn't kicking goals. Reckon Henderson might play forward with Waite and Rowe might play CHB. Might allow the rucks to focus rucking rather than being key forwards.

So Gibbs was taken off against Adelaide as a precaution and Carrots didn't play against Melbourne because he was rested....@#$%&! off CFC.

Club never said Carrazzo was rested, I don't know where you got that from.
