the only thing that needs to change is the "backing in the boys" mentality. They need to create a reward for performance and effort environment.

Hall in could be a nice build towards Hewett in.Prediction for this arvo
In: Hall, Jilliams, Hedwards, Johnston, Gaff, Rawlinson
Out: Waterman, Flynn, Gov (all injured)
B: Hough, Barrass, Witherden
HB: Cole, Rotham, Duggan
C: Hunt, Yeo, Ginbey
HF: Cripps, Darling, Hall
F: Ryan, Allen, Williams
R: Williams, Kelly, Reid
I: Hedwards, Maric, Brockman, Chesser, Jones, Johnston, Gaff, Rawlinson
All three injured KPPs to miss.
Hall to get the debut announcement today. Sub to come from Brockman, Chesser or Jones. Johnston to travel as 24th man, Gaff and Rawlinson to stay home and play Peel.
Is it fair to say that Chesser is a pawn sacrifice in this Red Wing Gambit that Simpson is playing?

Partington's disease. I reckon the same happens to Trew. We delist him, he moves clubs and dominates a state league, and still nobody redrafts him.So you're predicting Trew gets dicked by Simpson yet again?
Harsh. I'm not entirely sure it's fair to the bloke. I'd be hating Simpson if i was Trew.

doctor_orders.jpgI feel like Darling has gotten reprieves for the past 2 years straight
I really like your thinking here, but based on what we’ve seen from the match committee it more than likely won’t be happening.Unavailable: Long, Jamieson, Petruccelle, Sheed, Bazzo, Hewett
In Doubt: Flynn, McGovern, Waterman
Pressing for Selection: Trew, Hall, J Williams, H Edwards, Dewar, Culley
Main problems with previously reported selected side -
• Two rucks not working
• Lack of run/leg speed
• Too tall/lack of mobility across the ground
• No run/rebound out of defence
• Experience v youth balance skewed too far to experience for a rebuilding side
• Not enough pressure in forward half
There are others and some of the above overlap but those are the main problems I think need to be addressed
With the above in mind, these are the changes I’d like to see
1) Jack Williams to replace either Bailey or Flynn. Given the doubt over Flynn take no chances with his ankle and rest him this week. Bailey to ruck with Jack, who is a better forward target, in support
2) Omit Rotham or Witherden and move Hunt into the backline as he’s been a better HB for us than wing and we’ve missed his rebound out of defence. Trew to take Hunt’s midfield spot which means Ginbey spends more time on the wing to allow Trew to play in his preferred inside mid role.
3) Replace Darling in the 22 with Maric. I know Maric is taller but he’s faster and more agile. This isn’t necessarily for poor form but team balance - Waterman, Allen, Darling and a resting ruck is one tall too many
4) Dewar to come into the 23 with a choice to be made between him and Jones as the the sub
Out : Flynn, Rotham, Darling
In : J Williams, Trew, Dewar
Backs: McGovern, Barrass, Witherden, Duggan, Hough, Cole, Hunt
Rucks: Williams and Williams
Mids: Yeo, Kelly, Reid, Ginbey, Chesser, Trew
Forwards: Allen, Waterman, Maric, Ryan, Cripps, Brockman, Dewar
Sub: Jones
Travelling Emergency: Rotham
Emergencies: H Edwards for McGovern and Darling for Waterman
Alternatives
1) Hall instead of Trew
2) Maric to midfield (instead of Trew) with Culley brought in as a marking/tackling pressure forward
3) I considered Hall as sub over Jones (or Dewar) but I think flying his family over to Melbourne to debut as a sub is a bit mean. Maybe save that for our next home game
What's your ELO nerd!
Same. First game live since the Dee’s punched our arseholes in at home last year… hoping for a much better outcomeI’ll be at the G

Ooh, is there a chess thread? It's got to be more interesting than this season's football.ELO very low (little bit over 1200).

Very pleased to see Johnston. Hope he gets an opportunity.
No Gaff after 30 and a goal is a good sign of commitment to playing the kids.
