As a Roosters fan, I support these changes!

I like how you persist with 5-6 changes most weeks. Great resilience given - assuming no injuries, there will be 1-2 changes max

Yeah Nicks will run some of them into the ground by backing them in. The next phase of his coaching development is to drop underperforming players instead of showing no faith in the squad that's not playing. His philosophy is dont change anything unless we go down by 60 plus.
 
Bit out of leftfield, but would it be worth running murray on hawkins and giving max first crack at cameron. Max has shown he gives his man no room and is very good aerially..just a poser
Muzz on Cameron and Keane/Worrell on Hawkins.
 
Out:
Milera - doesn't come back in until he has been BOG in the SANFL. Seriously. Go be a star. Otherwise go play for the Suns next year.
Walker - rest him, and also god he made some stupid decisions today
Murphy - he's a trier but nothing more
Schoenberg - cripes.

In
Parnell
Gollant
Berry
Hatey
Forget Hately , Nankervis is the one we want and Cook . These guys have X factor . Hately just there to plug holes if 8 injuries like Collingwood
 
Absolutely must rest Tex. Go in against Geelong with a smaller forward line would be an advantage. I would make 4 changes.

Out: Tex (rested), Murphy (SANFL standard), Milera, Schoenberg

In: Newchurch, Berry, Worrell, Cook (sub).

Newchurch must get a run. Has kicked 4.2, 0.3, 2.3 and 4.0 in his last 4 starts at SANFL level. Just feel like he is the type of player who will excel around elite talent. He also provides something we haven't had since Charlie left and thats absolute electric pace. He replaces Tex and we go smaller in the forward line with TT and FOG as our primary KPF.

Worrell replaces Milera. Gives us more drive and provides another taller option to assist with Cameron.

Murphy goes to the SANFL and stays there. Just doesn't have an elite AFL trait. He is an honest trier, but in the AFL you need elite traits to succeed. Berry comes in for him.

Schoenberg - no idea on what to bloody do with him. Showed so much promise in 2021. Could be wrong, but he seems like someone who has the talent, but doesn't have the work ethic to make it at AFL level. Better off having Cook come in and be sub.
