Replace Lang with Cuningham.

The MC seem to love Gibbons and I think we have worse players than him.

LOB and Macreadie need to play in the 2s for a while.

And yes get Ed tagging. Why have one of the best run with players playing on a forward flank?

Give Casboult a licence to bust as many packs with his knees as possible, accidentally of course, with a bit of luck, he might accidentally take out Billings, Gresham.... football is a tough business after all.

Sheesh that makes sense ..... again (not)!!!

Casboult is a dumb clux
You give him license to crash packs with his knees there will be more friendly fire and we will have more in the medical room.

Why don’t they try something different.
Charlie up the ground
Kerr and Harry as key forwards
Lang as a mid/fed role
Gov in the backline to replace Levi if either Jones or Plowman don’t return

The team rejig will be more interesting than the 'ins'... Good to see SOJ with midfield time, like others, I'd like to see the Curnow boys through there too... Need more strength in the middle, and more running both ways. Daisy's replacement could be Schu, but... who knows?

Go Blues

We really are in trouble when I start agreeing with Syd. Hahah. Not the “dumb” part but definitely the friendly fire part.

It’s also just not who he is and we all know we can’t change Levi. He is what he is. We can’t expect him to play with that kind of edge.

I like this. Gov permanently back for a game or two. Let’s see how it works. I think he will have more influence there over larger parts of the game compared to the shorter cameo bursts he is giving us up forward.

I like it. McGovern replaces Casboult, Kerr in attack. Lang for Thomas. Cuningham for Murphy.

Agree lets try something different turn up and be ferocious and ruthless against a team we should beat and spank the Saints - get a good start and grind them into the dust

Like the Kangas, the Saints are a team who have an excellent recent record of putting the sword to us at the Depression Dome. With our young mids starting to look tired and our backline unsettled by injuries, I can’t see us winning this unfortunately.

Hopefully Thomas doesn’t get rubbed out, SPS is OK and Cunningham, Jones, Plowman & Simmo are available....

B: Plowman Jones Marchbank
HB: Simmo Weitering Newman
C: Walsh Cripps Thomas
HF: E Curnow McGovern C Curnow
F: Cunningham McKay SOJ

R: Kreuzer Dow Fisher

Inter: Gibbons, Setterfield, SPS, Stocker

In: Cunningham, Jones, Plowman, Simmo
Out: Murphy (inj), Casboult, Macreadie, O’Brien

I would try using Jones as the 2nd ruck from defence, with Marchbank, Weitering or Plowman rolling onto his man. The alternative is to use McGovern or McKay as 2nd ruck; if we go that way, personally I would experiment with McGovern in that role because Harry looks pretty hopeless in the ruck to me at this stage of his career.

Rather than bring in Kennedy, I would like to see the Curnow brothers used more regularly in our centre square rotations. Kennedy and/or Lang might get a game if SPS and/or Thomas are unavailable. It’s hard to see where Kerr fits in unless the MC think SOJ, Harry or Charlie need to be rotated out of the team. Kerr got to lick the ice cream on Saturday but I’m not sure his game translates to AFL success. At the very least, he gives us good KP depth.

Casboult & Kreuzer both , over 100kg and about 2 M tall just the right candidates, score as many hits as possible, only smaller the opponents, wipe them out for extra bonus.
It’s acceptable and it’s what Llyod wants to see more of , apparently accepted by AFL.

Agree with you, but I’d also give Fasolo a game, it’s time has the footy IQ & over 100 games of footy, a good nose for a goal. Can support around the ground, Lang too should be looked at.

Unsociable Blues.

We don't have the tough nuts Hawks did in Hodge and Brown with their unsociable footy.

WE need to bring some mongrel and hurt factor into the game plan.

One on one footy.

I reckon McGovern likes to express his inner mongrel.

If it comes down to it, I would go with Lang ahead of Fasolo. Even though Fasolo & Lobbe helped us get over the line, I walked away from last Saturday’s VFL game thinking they are cooked as far as AFL is concerned. But I agree with you that we are in need of nous around goal. Ideally, Murphy would be playing that role.

Charlie into the midfield replaced by Kerr up forward. He came as both an inside bull and a forward.

Daisy OK to play - $7500 fine
