[The Blue Weirdo]

I think it's too risky to introduce 3 LTI's with zero match conditioning(Marchy, Gov and Martin) into the side this week against top line opponents after 3 losses in 4 weeks.

ins. Gov, Martin
outs. Young, Fanta
sub. Cow

 

[Benaly28]

Very cryptic around here,not sure why.

Yeap - Marchbank should go through at least one vfl match before coming into senior side.

He was incredibly rusty when he came straight into seniors earlier this season.

Absolutely he should, he's not that good to just stroll back in. Problem is you roll the dice with how available he is. The more games he plays the closer he is to breaking down again. Maybe, like Jack Martin, the MC just want to extract game time out of him and they would rather have that as game time in the firsts.

Also wouldn’t mind Kemp in for Williams if he’s iffy.

We end up with a fairly strong and balanced back 6.

Kemp for Williams even if he's fine, but he's obviously one of the favourites.

They might think it's bad for morale to have 1 player in the reserves being paid more than the entire team.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Think there was a rumour somewhere a couple days back about him pulling up sore?

Must be pretty sore considering what he put up with tail end of last season

I think we all know it is Saad we need back. How far away is Saad??

Cryptic perhaps due to players still needing to tick off some boxes before being named for Thursday

Take it with a grain salt, heard there will be 4 changes

 

[carlton_99]

 

[Christou2Kouta]

I'd be happy with Martin, Gov and Kemp coming in for Fantasia, Williams and Young this week.
The other question would be around Kennedy getting into the starting 22 for someone.

 

[Juddrockz]

I think we all know it is Saad we need back. How far away is Saad??

Sounds like he will be back for the game against the Bombers?

apples and oranges

 

[Juddernaut08]

Any insiders know if we still favour the dual ruck situation? I know it worked last year but we're focusing more on speed and transition football this year.

 

[Limestone]

Reckon #15 gets in there if fit

Good to see HBF back , but where is Ty ? Hope he is ok ?

Think about it. Can't walk a mile in someone else's shoes without first taking yours off.

 

[Sam The Doc]

Caleb please be healthyish...

 

[Blue since 72]

2 actually

Ok going with:

In: Gov, Martin, Kemp
Out: Young , Cow, Fant

 

[JJBagger]

Will be close for the Swans game

I reckon Williams will be out, can't keep getting subbed every week. Needs a break, maybe instead of Cowan?

Yeah, could see it tbh.

 

[Aphrodite]

Jono Baruch Twitter - Williams has made an appearance outside

Enduring during finals isn't the same as early/mid season. Better to get it right while there's time. But we'd really miss him over the next couple of weeks.

Threw together something of a preview in the OP. Couldn't leave it blank.
