Boak probably on concussion protocols if we are serious ? Burgoyne for him
But apart from that
JHF for McEntee or Evans, take you pick and melt either way
Georgiadis for Finlayson
Williams for Jones

They were a touch fitter than us I think. Ran out the game stronger. Forward play was disappointing, Evans and Mcentee needed to contribute more.

Frank the tank and Mac and cheese has a great first 10 minutes then might as well have been invisible the other 90 minutes of the game.
 
Bergman needs to go back to HB, the wing isn’t working. Need Williams back there too, he’s got some footy smarts. These two changes would have won us the game tonight. I’d like to drop Fin, but then who chops out ? Maybe Sweet, had a pretty good game in the 2nds.

They cannot play in the same team, big costly selection error that.

JHF would be doubtful surely? Can't imagine they'd rush him back. SPP would have been handy but I really can't see anyone knocking down the doors after a 70 point loss in the reserves.

I'd have Williams over Jones, but he was injured on Friday so may not be available. Georgiades over Finlayson if he is fit enough to run out the game. My guess is he may get a few more games in the twos though.

I think we'll (unfortunately) go pretty close to unchanged unless Boak has concussion in which case I guess Burgoyne gets a starting spot.

Is Williams actually injured? If fit, in for Jones. If not, Jones out and Bergman back. Burgoyne into the 22 to take the wing.

Some proof it's pointless playing McEntee and Evans in their same team, but I suspect their first 10 minutes means nothing changes there until SPP is back.

Bergman is doing fine on the wing. We don’t play through there, he’s competing well and chipping in.

But what he did in the backlines last year was under rated and we massively miss him.

We absolutely need one of him or Williams back.
 
They actually should select Jones again if they think he's better than Williams, because dropping him for what is ultimately the yips will just make it worse.

I'd have Williams in the side ahead of him every day though.

Jones's positioning was really good today, but mental failure under Hinkley just keeps happening and it hurt.

Really not sure what McEntee and Evans are offering that a rookie wouldn't. Play Burgoyne as a small forward, anyone really.

Finlayson out because it'll stop Ken Hinkley rucking him at the end of quarters and giving our opponents momentum, and I just really want Georgiades in the team.
 
IN: JHF, Georgiades, Williams (Assuming these players are healthy)
Out: Mead, Finlayson, Jones

Ken said Boak passed the SCAT test (Concussion test), he could have delayed concussion. if he is out next week i think burgoyne remains in the team in boaks absence. and evans gets relugated to sub
