If I was the mean-spirited type and not the paragon of virtue that I am, I'd probably post something along the lines of...

If it was a mullett, I hope he chucked it back.

But like I say, I'm way above that.

I'm proposing a restructure, so obviously none of this will happen, but it's worth a shot...

Outs:

• All of us love the idea of blooding youth, and its certainly been worth it in the case of Ryan Clarke, but I think its pretty obvious that Corey Wagner just isn't quite ready for AFL football at this stage.
• Who would have thought a month ago that Todd Goldstein of the infinite dicks would become a liablity? But unfortunately, whether its due to injury or form, I think we would be better off without him in the side. See in modern footy actually hitouts mean a lot less than what happens at ground level, and with Goldy's current inability to follow up and help out our mids, I think we would be much better served playing someone else in his role while he does a mini preseason and tries to get back to his best.
• Ben Cunnington just can't be right. Reports of him limping around are not surprising in the slightest, sure he has always been slow but I haven't seen him break out of a jog in weeks. What happened to the Cunners who was chasing Bulldogs down and applying real pressure? Even his supposedly elite inside skills have dropped off. Needs some time to recover.

Ins:

• Aaron Mullett was close to being an out, but if we have it in us to restructure I'd love to see him tried on a half-forward flank. Defensively he is cooked at the moment, but he can be a real weapon around goal and would be much more suited to that role. So I'd let him take Wags' role, and bring in Declan Mountford to play on the wing and give us some real pace on the outside. Jmac would have to spend more time in defense.
• Dropping Goldy is a big call, but by bringing Maj in and rotating him with Drew (NOT BROWN FFS), we would immediately gain a LOT at ground level. Sure we won't win as many hitouts, but I think what Maj and Drew can bring around the ball is far more important.
• Trent Dumont would offer more on the inside that Cunners at this stage.

Very good post.

Are you serious? Have not and will not ever bet or tip against my team!

Deadly. I'm a treacherous turncoat coward.

One change I notice with this game is that it is a Friday night, at our home ground to a tenant of another ground - but it's an away game. Huh? Is it a replacement game?... If not, I'm sensing some pre-emptive outrage!

 

[Horizons_00]

In: Daw, dumont
Out: Goldy, Cunnington (rested)

We are going to get rinsed in the middle if we continue to play two injured statues

 

[roos_fanatic08]

OUT: Wags, Petire, Mullett

In: Mountford, Daw, Dumont

Play Dal across half back instead of mullett.

As part of the weekend debacle while watching the game with my 2 year old daughter (signed up Junior Joey Rookie member) learnt the words "Jeezus Cunnington".

I just asked her before if she remembered those words and she did.

I said "What does Cunnington do?" and she replied "He plays a game of football".

I then said "Is he good or bad at it?" and she said "He's bad at it"!!!

So Cunnington to be dropped this week! She didn't tell me who should replace him though.

At the game with my kids, the quarter time siren went and I felt a tug on my hoodie's sleeve. It was my Catholic Primary School grade prep daughter looking up at me with eyes as big as dinner plates, who said "Dad, why do you keep yelling "Christ"? You said other naughty words too. Should I get the swear jar?"

It took the steam out of my angst at least.

It was a gummy shark.
Apparently you have to chase them if they want to be caught.
Ha! fancy that

Brad Scott has confirmed Drew is playing and SEN is running with Waite not playing so im tipping:

Out Waite, Wagner
In: Dumont, Daw

 

[King Corey]

Club site has Dumont 'in the mix'.

Should've never been out of the mix.

A mullet?

Club twitter pic of training sprints did not appear to feature Wells or Waite which is a massive worry you'd think.

I've just done a quick check. We have only won one game where we lost the tackle count (Brisbane). In all six losses, we have lost the tackle count. We have won the tackle count in 8 other wins. As if to further prove the point, we drew the tackle count against the Saints - and nearly lost the game. So, boys and girls, it's pretty clear what we need to do on Friday night.

Against Hawthorn Daw and Dumont had 12 tackles between them, we had 64. (Missing Swallow and Cunnington tho.) Dumont had Gibson both had 7, more than anyone else. Daw and Dal Santo (yeah him) both had 5 and were the second highest tackling players. FWIW...

Wouldn't be relying on Dal to make any tackles this week. He had a few last week but I saw him let players run past him twice. Pretty sure both led immediately to goals.

Brad had to fit in Dal Softo somehow

Yeah, the Hawthorn game proves the fact that our effort is down now. Even though we were missing Swallow, we still managed to tackle well. However, we did lose the tackle count. Hawks made 68 tackles (they were particularly good with their forward 50 tackling).

Swallow and Cunnington were missing, tho Dumont's effort may have covered tackles Cunnington would have made if he was there. Considering how aggressive we were I expected the tackle count to be higher, but Hawthorn didn't have much of the ball so it may partly explain the lower numbers.

What you are saying suggests we'd be better off with Daw and Dumont in the side tho. We need more attack on the ball. Daw - well unless he gets a great start i wouldn't rely on him to lead that sort of change, and he may be injured anyway but Dumont may be up for it.

He's aggressive, and I remember seeing him in one passage play recently where his tenacity really stood out. it would have helped last week.

Hoping the double entendre was unintended.
