+1.
This could be one of the things that Ross is working out. I don't think he's as aware of the capabilities of some of our players as he will be in a month or two.
He still thinks of Crowley as our number one tagger. Still thinks of De Boer as a defensive forward. I genuinely think Crowley is interchange fodder or (preferably) depth waiting in the WAFL.
I just want him to give De Pig half a game on Brissies best mid. Then we'll see what kind of role he can find Crowley after that.
sorry, i read it and it made sense to me.. lol
mora is one i am really hoping to get back and show us what his limit is....
Mundy IN
Anthony OUT
Anthony OUT
Nothing percieved about it, I miss the days when answers like that were the standard reply to a DT query
Probably the best for balance.
Hope it doesn´t result in Jack dropping his bundle again like last year when he got dropped.

Yeah bit disappointed with Jack being omitted since he's a confidence player
Lower missing out on the 25 is somewhat of a surprise.
Personally I'd have him in the 22 if Duffield/Mellington can't play ahead of Roberton/VB.
The tall forward line is probably better suited to the SCG than Subi and Kepler played much better than Jack so it makes sense. Is a similar situation to Griffin where they're both mature bodies who expect to play but are fringe players when we're near full strength.

Yeah I just thought his application and effort was a 4 quarter effort and more consistent than Keps - I'd have at least given him more time to gel and show something
Keplar > Anthony imo. He seems to do good things when he has the ball, contests well, and is a bit more mobile and versatile.
Can someone please enlighten me as to why Nick Lower isn't in our best 22, let alone our best 25? Not even named as an emergency!
He was a walk-in starter last year and I think one of our better players, surely you'd have him in ahead of a number of players (Pearce, Mellington, Mayne, maybe Duffield).
Jack hard done by being left out this week after the effort he's put in, but I think unfortuantely just too slow. And you can't really complain when you're replaced by someone like Mundy.
I think the balance of our team is still just a little off, with not enough hard-ball winners, and Lower is someone who can do that, who together with Mundy would allow Hill to play his natural outside game again and maybe find some confidence!
Don't even get me started on SCOS being left out. You would assume since he's named as an emergency that he's fit to play. Streaks ahead of what I've seen from Dawson so far..

Good decision imo, Keps may not clunk alot of marks, but neither can Anthony realy, at least Keps is a better shot at goal. The fact he was in our forwardline when it was effective against Geelong is another tick in his favour. Thank god we dropped one of them

I think our forwards in general need to spend more time practising clunking contested marks.
Lower is a great player to have on our list, but currently I can't see him in our best 22. He's an older prototype of De boer (we only need the 1 tough player)... I think it's great Mellington is getting more games this year, Mayne- We need him if Anthonys not playing, Pearce- I think he has had two good games, plus I didnt realise how good a kick at goal he is. Duffield - He has to play, we need the experience. Finally, Silvagni- great player, but Ross prefers to have Dawson @ fb. I think our backline would be too tall.
Umm... Are you for real? Nah you must be joking.
Looks like Duffield and Mellington are being given every chance to prove they've fully recovered from their injuries.
Would imply they've solidified their positions in the first 22, or there's key match-ups in the Brisbane line-up that the coaches have pegged them for.
