I agree with most of that but I would argure to keep Cowan in and see what he can do with Toby. Its a risk yes, but on exposed form I think its fair to say he can at least be competitive on him.

Cripps is the man

I'd make Fisher sub. Walsh coming back is the wildcard

Say whaaat?
They're both poor field kicks IMHO.

Looking forward to seeing our potential realised.

NO NO NO

Ed gets 26 possessions, shuts down a good player and makes the best players list, at least in the papers. Dow has never got 26 possessions in his life and anyone who thinks that he is a better kick than anyone at the club needs their eyes checked. Sick and tired about hearing about Dow's potential. How many years has he been here and what has he delivered ? Zero !

I’m resigned to the fact the club will get rid of him. I’ll leave it at that.

I reckon Ed will be rested during the year at times. If he plays 15 games that is a great effort. His workrate adds to our midfield and will hopefully allow Walsh Cerra Cripps to be more impactful

Poor Dow. He's been written off despite being the most outstanding Blue in the Reserves in last 2 weeks.

Let me say it again. I wrote Dow off in early rounds for last 3 years because of his lack of intensity after he gets rid of the ball. But watching him in the last 2 games in the VFL, all I can say his he's ALDI different: good different. He's been strong at the contest and that burst speed is AFL quality. He handballs a lot more than he kicks, and that brings players into the game. I hope he is selected to play AFL when he's in form. He's in ripper form atm.

He will earn a spot in the AFL if he continues to play in the form he's in right now. he's better than anything Ive seen of him in the past.

Eds great on the inside. That releases Cerra and Walsh to be on the outside and use their smarts to run into space and deliver.....I should add Doc in therte too.

Moo offers more intensity than Plowman. I thought Plow was good, but he didnt dominate his taller opponent in the reserves. He did good things, but did not dominate imo.

If we're serious about winning football matches instead of playing the AFL equivalent of Football Manager, we will select Ed over Paddy 100% of the time. Although I wouldn't complain if Paddy got selected once, just so he can fail to impress yet again, and maybe just maybe Talking Dow can be shut down for a couple of months.

Ya know….

i wanted Dow in the team last week for some
added speed…because i thought we looked
FAR too slow…!

but the truth is…as ol Socrates dude said…all i know is…
i know nothing…!

or as we say…i got no idea…!

I would be very disappointed if they dropped SOS. He is the link man in this team. He generally makes smart decisions and we can't get enough of that. Having said that ... I believe that is what they will do.

My choice would be:

Hewett for O'Brien.
Sub: Fisher

He has played 63 AFL games, averages 13.6 possesions and doesn't apply much defensive pressure.
There is a reason why no club was interested in him during last year's trade period.

Opposition teams aren’t stupid. They will get him for nothing, like Setters and Stock.

Lol when a player can’t get a game in the seniors and is constantly playing reserves, it has nothing to do with oppositions teams being smart, the player literally has little value that’s the way it works

Lol - no it doesn’t.

Setterfield went alright today… 28 possessions, 9 tackles, 13 CPs & a goal.

I feel Plowman has been poorly used. Always gets the job against tough opponent deep in defence in a poor side.

As a junior he was more a running HB/Wing. I have even seen him play well as a HF. He is tough, big bodied and a good kick. With Kemp McGovern & Marchbank as 3rd tall options I would like to see us use Plowman a bit differently. He is also rarely injured

Very very disappointed we let him go.
