Ins: Graham & Robbo
Outs: Armfield & Cachia

Army has had a quiet month now, seems to have lost his desperation, not chasing & running off like he was early on.
Need to drop a tagger, Carazzo been brought in slowly and probably in the worst form of the three(Cachia, Curnow & himself) but Carazzo won't be dropped.

Robbo had a great game in VFL, ran hard, tackled hard and got plenty.
Graham has been near BOG for the blues in basically every game he's played since returning, he a smart ball magnet. Tackles extremely well too, on 3-4 occasions on Saturday the opponent would try and duck or drive head in to get free but he'd somehow get a strong effective tackle without giving away the free.

Carrots to come under MRP "scrutiny" for his supposed behind the play hit on Thomas.

Only thing that slightly relieves my rage at this is Cyril has been caught out for his chicken wing too.

Will get life once the Nth medical report shows that Thomas was pronounced clinically dead.

Love Robbo's commitment but we need skilled midfielders.
We can’t drop a tagger and bring in a player that mostly sprays and rushes his disposals.
Menzel and Graham in for me the hard bit is deciding who to drop.
Carrazzo might get a holiday but then I’m thinking that Armfield needs a rest but we also need his run. Unfortunately he’s not as zippy as he was a few weeks ago but I would also give McLean a rest.
Yarran wing and rotate Garlett, Betts, Menzel and Graham through the middle and let Gibbs loose as an attacking midfielder.
They are a fast team that use the corridor so we need to be clinical with our disposal so we aren’t caught out of position on the rebound.

Thomas went down as if shot.
The guy is a total cheat, and a flog of a bloke on the field.
Nothing in it.

I think we have benefited in recent weeks by not having Robbo's haphazard disposal.

Not saying it will always be like that, but I think we can only take so many players with average skills in each week.

At least one of these.


Menzel for Armfield

Graham for Scotland (permanently?)

LOL!

Inferior sides?
Go back and have a look at the amount of All Australian players running around for the Saints in those games.
No shortage of top shelf talent there.
Perhaps it was the stifling game style that contributed to their inferiority, not the personnel.

Let's give opportunities to our young players and give them the chance to demonstrate their abilities. No better week than this one.

I stand by fact Geelong and collingwood were much better sides in those years

If you shut down gazza and omeara you'll go a long way to winning the game.We have shut gazza down before when he was playing for Geeeeeelong so it can be done,We will win GO BLUES....P.S. First Post

I don't think Joseph will be recalled to the seniors to repeat that feat.

you're right bondiblue but i think curnow can do the job.

Don't think we should take their rucks lightly and we may be in a batter position to dominate with Warnock playing.

Warnock, Robinson, Graham and Menzel should be in the front line for consideration this week.
Not sure why we have to worry about McInnes as he looked fine to me and has had the extra days rest on White, Laidler or Bootsma.

Bell should be good to go but the VFL beckons.

Carrazzo has done the job before as well and off memory very well. I would go with carrots. Hopefully he can runout the game.

I reckon we should be playing Menzel.........

Perfect game to play him too! Against bodies in a similar style to his (i.e. - not fully grown men.... more younger type kids).

No, you stand by your opinion.
