Watson has been our best man-on-man defender this entire season. A banged up Kreuzer over injury free Warnock?

I hope we're not really playing McInness up front when he's been really decent down back. I can see him & thornton swapping roles.

Happy for Cas & Bell. Lucas, not so much.

Lucas and Davies are bizarre selections.

Bizarre! Especially as we haven't selected Warnock - FMD - are we tanking?

Bizarre Watson been very good. These stupid decisions are what pisses us off big time. Why not play Warnock instead of Kruezer? Having Watson means we can play Thornton forward. Davies? Seriously. Omg Riewoldt and co are going to have a field day. Losing to the Tigers for me would be hard to swallow.......

Lucas gets the best seat in the house again...

Is duigan really in that poor form that he can't get a game with our depleted list?

WTF is that team?!?! Are these people serious?!?! FMD

Duigan and Watson dropped? Surely they must be injured to not be named?

Watson, maybe not a wet tracker

Why for the life of me is Watson out. He's held up CHB well. Young bloke playing well...............mind boggling. Duigan out???? Why bring in a suspect Kreuzer when Warnock is available. Has to be huge changes to the MC. It has been terrible all year to the point of putrid..

Now we have no flexibility with Thornton.

So much for not giving up on finals?

If thats right why is Kruezer playing ahead of Warnock?

Watson, dont get it. Played forward and out of position in first half. Struggled. Moved back to proper spot and looked good.

Please dont play McInnes at CHF!

Have no issue dropping Duigan. He really has been struggling.

Hopefully Lucas will get a full game. I'm a real fan of Davies. Recruited as a CHB but IMO is more of a taller mid which we need. Issue is he has had two games back and a break last week then in.

Dale, okay lets see how he goes.

Bower and Russell are obviously gone.

No Robbo. Thats a loss.

If that's how we line up Ratts needs to be dragged out of VISY Park by his scruff Monday.
Dropping Watson & Duigan for Davies & Lucas is absurd. Two aint gonna be there next season and two are. Drop two of our guys with reasonable foot skills for two shankers. Jamo is the key position player who deserves to be omitted.
McInnes CHF. Yeah that would be smart to move a kid who's progressing well in the position he's suited and chick him to the wolves.
Obviously teams rarely line up as named but seriously the changes are ridiculous. Ratts isn't even trying to win.

Well, flower me.

Kreuzer must be playing, Warnock not even an emergency!

I'm shocked re Watto, could it be for disciplinary reasons?? Are we worried about the mobiity in their forward line?

With Vickery out, they must be punting on Davies to play tall in their smaller foarward line. The guy has played in our past few finals series, the MC must rate him highly, even though his NB form has been nothing special from all reports.

Kane probably gets a run as they're mids and run is their strength. Anyway, hope they persist with him, he needs an extended go at it.

Not surprised Watson was dropped....was terrible up forward last week....

If we have given up on the season, fine. No issue with that and great to see Davies, Dale & Lucas play but let them play and in the right positions.

Watson, maybe tired? If so shouldn't play reserves either.

OKeefe, Bootsma must feel unlucky and Warnock must be thinking why did I sign a three year deal.

McCarthy & Buckley must play in the next few weeks.

Horses for courses or something.

Confused by some of those selections

Warnock IS available, right? I can't imagine a scenario whereby we wouldn't pick him short of suspension or injury.

And surely now's the time to get as many games into Watson down back as possible.

Just weird.

That's not his fault, should've been in defence from the start.

Davies will be a very good player in years to come and it is clear that he is highly rated. Had to have had special bullants form - he has been back from long term injury for about 3 weeks... (one of which was an ant's bye)

lucas - people have been calling for him to be picked - he gets picked and people complain lol

Sarcasm KK....he was actually quite good when moved back in the second half last week...would've thought a run of games would be good for him....but it makes no difference in the grander scheme of things I guess....
