This will be embarrassing on the national stage. Ken deserves the embarrassment though even if the rest of us don't. Hope this is kens last game. Boak to come in and give ken a big hug at the end of the game in his final night as coach

I'd do the following ...

Mead out, Boak in. Mead isn't offering us anything, Boak is a far better player even at his age.

Richards out, Cochrane in. Maybe controversial but Richards just seems vanilla to me, I think Cochrane's ceiling is potentially higher.

Powell-Pepper out, Finlayson in. Very controversial but Powell-Pepper is just way too scrappy, whatever he adds with his physicality he takes away with his fumbles and missed shots. Finlayson isn't great but at least he can do the second ruck thing and add some height.

Sinn out, Lai in. Sinn is the backline equivalent of Richards, just vanilla. We are way too slow down back, Jones is the only one with any speed. Bring Lai in and see if he can give us a bit of run.
 
Just saw the DBJ replay and I think it is at least 2. So Berry gets a reprieve this week,m

Mate if that gets looked at in any way shape or form the whole game of AFL might as well shut up shop and disband. St Kilda bloke goes in super low and off balance, there's also an onus on not taking out an opponents legs, which if DBJ had played the ball would have happened.

Reckon Moraes might be a bit leg heavy, I'd swap him with Boak for a freshen up. Cochrane for that bloke we got from Collingwood. Give Berry a full game here, there's nothing to be gained by not playing him after a light week. DBJ out.

Welcome to let us all Gather 'Round and boo Hinkley off the park.

Sinn is a weird one
Straight line he is obviously quite quick but has the agility of a player a few inches taller
 
He's gone . It wouldn't matter if it was a mistake. He hit his head. Cya

Yep, gets a holiday. At least he doesn't have to worry about the big ANZAC Day match!

Look we aren’t winning. Can’t see any way for us to do it. But we need to keep developing the game plan and the younger guys. We need some on field leadership and experience.

Boak should come in.

I’m not sure the Wines ruck as a regular thing is working, particularly as we lose our best in and under player. I would have a look at Visentini.

We also need some senior players down back, so I would be getting Burton in.

Cochrane deserves another run but Berry’s pace is needed and it feels like he might be about to crack it.

Out:
Evans
DBJ (suspension)
Mead

In:
Burton
Dante
Boak
