Port can drop their captain, Lions can drop Rich and Gunston.

Carlton drop the same old players. Silvagni's fault we lost ... again.

Meanwhile the bench is stacked with players who deserve to play. Binns, Cincotta, Kennedy, Cuningham, Fogarty, Dow ... 2 of those will miss out. Probably Binns won't play as he has been an emergency a couple of times and Fogarty for the same reason. Cincotta, Kennedy, Cuningham and Dow on the bench? God forbid Ed and Young are still in and we are dropping 2 of those guys.
 
He didn’t do much I was there … however I would’ve left Young out and about 3 others before Jack
Young’s on the extended bench, he could well be left out.


No impact in the ruck, no marks, no goals, bottom 5 for disposal efficiency. Just trying hard isn’t a reason for guaranteed selection.

There has to be a late change. How is Hewett available but doesn’t even get into the squad.
George and Mots to earn their way back into the team via VFL is a sign that the MC are finally responding. Hallelujah!
Hope Dave, Dow and Binns are in the 22.
 
He wasn’t our worst player, gave more effort than the majority of the team!! Support your player!!!!!
Selection is not about dropping the worst player from the previous week. It's about selecting a balanced overall team that gives you the best chance to win in the coming week. JSOS was probably better overall than TDK last week but JSOS cannot backup Pitt and TDK can. And if you play all 3 we become slow and unbalanced as Martin and Cuningham are both chances to play across HF leaving JSOS positionless.

This. If we play 2 rucks there isn’t room for him. Personally I’m glad we went two rucks.
Motlop needed to be dropped so happy with that. Just get him in the gym now and build towards a Papley, Pickett type body.

Motlop is a long term player for us. No shame in getting some time in the VFL and working on his game.
