Exactly boys. And it's starts with the opposition tagger continually putting our captain down continually and standing over him (Taylor Hunt/Jarryn Geary)... could you imagine that happening to Selwood or Hodge? And would their teammates let them get away with it??

You know this may not please AFL headquarters but if I were coach I would be prepared to sacrifice a player at the tribunal to make a statement.... and then reward that player afterward. Someone like Robbo/Cachia/Bell.

Above all else... MAKE A STATEMENT!!!!!!!! DRAW A LINE IN THE SAND!!!!!!!

Waite has already drawn a line in the sand moment...

Maybe we need a "pull ya finger out of your arse moment"

I like your thinking Barass. Trouble is we have no one who knows how to do it without getting caught. Got to clean up the tagger before he puts Murph down. Need some big bodies around the stoppages.

No more 3 ruckmen.

Warnock to ruck for now. Kreuzer to defensive tall role for this week. He seems to read the game much better when behind the play.

I change my mind on this every few weeks, but I think that for now Hampson needs to go back to the 2's and just work on the use of his body in marking contests and getting the ball through the goals somehow when he gets a set shot. He looks awfully close to getting it all together at times. The Bronx cheers on Monday would have hurt.

Jim, think you've nailed it on several levels.

Mobile, smart forward line with multiple options. They will draw ball to right spots. Hendo and Waite can rotate between CHF and FF equally.

Buckley or even Collins may have to replace Betts.

Warnock can do 80% of ruck. When resting on bench Casboult rucks and we can change our forward structure.

Really like Rowe at CHB. IMO it's his position. Can play on bigger players and will allow Jamo & Whiet to take 2nd and 3rd talls.

Flexibility, Rowe, White, Waite, Henderson can all play forward or back if needed.

Lots of midfield rotations and lots of run and spread and still enough hard ball winning ability.

And interestingly no Kruizer (is this because of injury or omission)

All these calls to bring in Menzel, yet from what you read in the VFL reports he'd be getting a game based on potential alone, not what he has displayed so far. He's on his way, but hasn't warranted selection.

I'm just not sure it would be the best move. Rapt for him if he gets a gig though and am sure he'll relish it.

Also, some suggestions of only having Warnock in the game. This is impossible. If you have more than one ruck, you have to have two. Casboult isn't any good in the ruck so if you only have Warnock, who does it when he's resting? Bring in Rowe? Not sure that's going to happen.

I believe we'll see the following outs:

Out - Ellard, Betts, Yarran (all given), Jamison if he's too sore
In - Waite, Gibbs, Buckley (if Menzel isn't ready to be debuted), Bell

I don't believe we've seen the last of Hampson, Warnock and Kreuzer in the same side. I expect Kreuzer to go to the backline if Jamison is out (with Simon White and Henderson).

Who's looking forward to seeing Angus Monfries on the weekend?

He's just the Milne, Davey, Thomas type that will upset more than a few on here. Can't wait for the reaction.

Balance!

Generally I'd agree but the time is right. He is good enough, fills a role that needs filling and is used to playing at a senior level. Will bring some real excitement to the side.

He has shown his talents at VFL level although needs more consistency.

I believe with Yarran and Betts out he needs to play.

He'd fit right in then. I know of certain player(s) who have been getting games based on potential for years.....

AJ.................and make sure he gets caught

Oh MIL, thats not very nice but I like it.

Did i imagine it or did i hear on radio this morning that Murphy will miss this week? It was early so may have been half asleep.
I hope some young players start getting a game, this is the perfect time to bring in some in.

Wouldn't be surprised given he was clearly hampered on Monday night.

Just wanted to go with one ruckman for best balance and Warnock's the fittest of the group at present. Both Kreuzer and Warnock are "all game" ruckman. Great in their position, useless anywhere else hence one is enough. Kreuzer thrived as the near lone ruckman late last year and is terrific around the ground. Terrible when pidgeon-holed in a position. With 2 rucks he will spend alot of that time pidgeon-holed killing his value. Give that then it's fitness for now the reason I've left him out. Hence just as easy to 2nd ruck Casboult to give the odd relief, ala Leigh Brown, and IMO would work well with Waite and Henderson, especially without the pressure of being a key forward. If that's the role of the 2nd ruck we may as well pick the bloke who can best play forward.
