Dare i say it............... Jones??? (*Ducks Head*)


Hear me out though............ from all reports, he's last two practise matches for the Bullants have at least proven he can be a target up forward. If Levi can pinch hit in the ruck, at least we'll have somebody "Semi" capable of taking a grab in the F50 in Levi's absence.

Jaksch is the one I was thinking of. You could justify Jones' selection though.

Waite best on ground ... Betts 5 goal ...

Thanks again to the coach whose name shall not be mentioned.

Byrne must play this game ...Rowe out. Jamo???
Try others DVR maybe. Silvani if fit.

We are going to get pumped anyway.

This is the kind of game you'd play Weitering up forward when Casboult goes onto the ball, keep Rowe for Lynch.

I'd drop Kreuzer before Phillips.

I like the ins of Walker and Byrne. Out Kreuzer and Lamb

Everitt for Jaksch if the MC think he needs to be dropped which wouldn't be far off

surely you have to have another tall target not a ruckman - Jaksch needs to get 4-5 games in a row in the seniors and settle at chf and then assess the forward line

GC's run out of defence has been absolutely central to their wins so far. Hall especially, Saad, Harbrow and Koldashnij. All very quick and good users of the ball.

A smaller more mobile forward line maybe the go.

So I've changed my mind, walker/Byrne in for Kreuzer/Everitt

Then we probably shouldn't play three of them.

Haha, Kreuzer does his very own Vickery impersonations at least half a dozen times every game.

If that was Kreuzer the ball wouldn't even be in the frame....

Although it's not the reason we lost to Sydney, we are playing too many talls for too little return at the moment and it's robbing us of on ballers or runners. Four tall defenders is unnecessary and we're not getting enough out of playing two rucks, they also spend too much time on the bench which should be for resting midfielders. I don't have a problem with what Philips or Rowe have done on field this year but the team would be better served by having another mid or flanker in their place. I'd leave both of them out and bring Walker back in if available and probably give Byrne a run as well. Casboult can do the rucking when Kreuzer needs a spell, he's an alright forward but just alright and it won't kill us to lose him for small parts of the game.

B: Tuohy Jamison White
HB: Docherty Weitering Simpson
C: Boekhorst Cripps Thomas
HF: Wright Everitt C.Curnow
F: Walker Casboult Lamb
R: Kreuzer Murphy E.Curnow
INT: Gibbs Graham Kerridge Byrne

Lamb and Everitt would want to lift, guys like Smith, Jones and soon Jaksch will gladly take their spot.

Yes, bring Jaksch in. Took a number of strong marks on the weekend in the NBs even if he kicked like Casboult. Casboult, while not great in the tap department, is our best 2nd ruck simply for his marking. Only ruck who does take marks. Allows Kreuzer to ruck alot more of the day too, which really suits him. Kreuzer effective is cut in half when he shares duties with an actual ruckman.

So are you conceding that casboult is useless as a forward. He played well yesterday didn't he??? Love the way he ends up in the centre square after every centre bounce, rather than deep in the forward line. He is clueless as a forward and not AFL standard full stop.

Don't think he's said anything of the sort.

But you already know that.

I hope Essendon* folds.

I think there will be a few changes this week. I'd give KJ a go in place of Phillips. I would play him down back with Weitering and see how they gell. Play Rowe out of the goal square or not at all. Too edgy down back. Let Daisy play Simmo role. Much more creative than Simmo. I like Whitey but like Rowe he's just a battler in AFL. I would bring in Casey for White. Gives some run and takes them on. Everitt to have a spell in Ressies to see if he still wants to play. Being out of form doesn't stop you from putting in.

We need a win soon, reckon we are a chance in this one.

Their whole game plan relies on their run out of the backline, excellent chance to cause multiple turnovers in dangerous areas.

Ed to Ablett with explicit instructions to shut him down.

Can we please just kick more goals than points for a change

Out: Curnow, Rowe, Phillips.

I find it hard to get our balance right, but I think those changes help.

Tuohy, Jamison, White
Byrne, Weitering, Docherty
Simpson, Cripps, Thomas
Walker, Jaksch, Wright
Lamb, Casboult, Everitt
Kreuzer, Murphy, Kerridge

Graham, Gibbs, E Curnow, Boekhorst

More run. Casboult to second ruck, Jaksch forward to help us keep our structure while Casboult is rucking.
One of the hardest decisions is how to use Walker, Everitt and C Curnow. I'd opt to only play two of them. Curnow unlucky. Showed some promise, but at this early stage of the season I'd like to pick our most competitive lineup and I think Walker and Everitt are still greater scoring threats.
