That's a joke right? 3 ruckmen again, with the addition of Rowe and casboult?

Sweet Jesus. I really hope that was a joke

Out
Hampson for season

Betts suspended
Yarran
Ellard

In

Carazzo
Gibbs
Waite
Watson (so hendo can go forward) or cazbolt
Bell

Agree!! Casboult might have to be in though. But maybe Watson is just as good as a relief ruckman?

You all realise that the ins and outs are irrelevant yes?

I'm a tad worried MM might decide to dig in over Hampson..as he's said he has plenty to offer.

Lazy boy, Slippers..................Smashing !!!!

Alan Richardson will know a bit of inside info re. some of our blokes.
This might be a harder game then we thought it would be pre season.
The 3 Ruckmen experiment should be dead and buried after last night
Lucas and Robbo
Imagine the meltdown on this forum if we lose.

After last year i would never underestimate Port or over rate us against them. They have been playing well this year and have had one bad week.
This is a game we could definately lose.
Unfortunately the injury curse has struck again and we will be well below full strength.
Outs;
Yarran, Ellard, Betts, Hampson,
In;
Waite, Gibbs, Buckley, Menzel (sub)
I am assuming Carrazzo will miss again with injury.

He kicked beautifully against Melbourne.

Last night there was so much pressure (initially physically, then later implied because of the tone the Saints set), that EVERYBODY's kicks went everywhere. Murphy, Walker, Simpson, Robinson, Armfield, Touhy, Judd... Nobody had clean disposal.

Cachia should stay in the team imo.

Please NO!

They will know to flood back hard and makes sure they always have numbers behind the ball to stop Garlett having any space. They will wear our punches then get us on the counter.

Poorly balanced line up last night even before injuries. The fact that MM made rotating Talls a priority with two on bench proved that.

We need to get back to being a mobile run and carry side. That is the modern game and our strength.

I hope???

B: Armfield White Laidler
HB: Walker Watson Tuohy

Foll: Warnock Judd Murphy
C: Robinson McLean Scotland

HF: Gibbs Henderson Bell
F: Garlett Waite Casboult

Int: Menzel Carrazzo Curnow (Simpson)

I'm assuming Betts, Ellard, Yarran, Jamison wont play.

If Carrots not ready, happy to play Cachia again.

With Yarran and Betts out time to throw Menzel in. He's good enough.

ONE Ruckman. Too many risks with two let alone three. Just ridiculous.

Flexibility, run and some physicality.

Smart mobile forward line. Get it in quick and LOW. Henderson and Waite lead well and will attract ball instead of Talls causing long bombs.

Personally I'd like to see Collins in BP and Armfield up the field.

My changes would be

Out
Hampson
Yarran (inj)
Ellard (inj)

In
Waite
Gibbs
Carazzo/Bell

If Jamo doesn't come up then give Watson a run.
If Betts gets rubbed out then either Buckley or Menzel.

How does Simpson get away without any
Mention? Bloke did not have a touch in the
third quarter, for a senior player and who is
in the leadership group is a joke!!
no accountability at all!!!

At the risk of being shot by all of you, I hope we loose this week.

Why?

because change only comes when you reach a threshold point where not changing is more painful than changing.

Drop Lucas, (couldnt give 3 tosses about his run and carry) and bring in Buckley or dale (at least they're gonna put theyre bodies on the line) Cazz you can offer me all the straws you like, Lucas is a dud its end of story..

Drop Hammer and bring in Casboult (at least if Casboult doesn't mark it he will kill someone in the resulting impact)

Drop Simpson (because he doesn't deserve to wear a beard, it contradicts his fragility and lack of physicality, beards are for men not kids) and bring in Bell (who gives a farrk if he's not fit, play him into fitness and use the scrutiny of the crowd and Synbad to keep his efforts honest and simple)

Play Waite down back and Henderson up forward.

Forget Watson & Mitchell accept failure in regards to recruiting and lets move on.

because he's hard to notice given he is hiding behind his f%$%n beard -his psychological veil of manliness. drop him and put the time and experience into someone else
