Why would Ratten pick him if he's shown nothing?
He was backed three times under Ratten last year to put his body on the line and got crunched twice. The third time he outmarked Pratt backing back with his eyes on the ball and played well in a thrashing. We need Bower because he backs himself to take them on and is a quick mobile defender with potential.
The only other alternative is Saddington who is soft and will be cut at the end of the year.
Bannister couldn't hold Deledio when they had control of the game in the second half.
You would have bumped your thread to bag Walker if he was the player who had kicked that ball to Judd.
Your trolls add nothing to this board.

Bannister couldn't hold him? He had 13 possessions and kicked 2 goals, one was charity early in the game...??? What impact did Brett have on the game?... absolutely no impact at all...
It was a bad decision to kick the ball to Judd by Banno, it got turned over and turned into a goal, what about when Stevens made a massive mistake and kicked the ball to the advantage of neither of his team-mates and kicked it to the advantage of Richmond's defence? Perhaps he should be dropped for that bad play too eh?...
Ins: Fisher, Hampson, Kreuzer.
Outs: Bannister, Hartlett, Betts.
Now as good a job Banno did on Delidio, he cost us alot of momentum with that monumental stuff up in the last quarter, the bloke is not a footballer!!. We need tall timber back against the Saints so Setanta stays in and goes to Koschitzke and Banno goes back to the magoos where he belongs. Hartlett to have a holiday for a few weeks but I would have dropped him anyway and Eddie Betts gives us sfa! Apart from a few flashy goals every week he costs us more than he gives us. I'd prefer Houlihan as the small/medium forward (a role he played exceptionally well as a youngster) with Murphy getting in and under. Betts as much i love him just does not do enough around the ground. And in my opinion it would be out of him and Jackson and we need Jackson to perform a run with role, so Eddie gets the flick this week for mine.

Pretty tough in my mind to make these changes, as you would think 3, maybe 4 changes for the St.Kilda game. I would do the following:
Ins: Hampson, Fisher, Kreuzer, Bentick
Outs: Hartlett (Susp), Edwards, Grigg, Bannister

Don't take off Grigg i say.
SO glad FISHER is playing round 2.
Should be a good debut for Kreuz. I think we'll have our heads together round 2..
Saints by 3-4goals.

What are the chances of one Darren Pfeiffer coming into the side Blues fans?

Pretty good I'd have thought.
Finds it,
courageous,
and gets it at will,
his disposal was always a question.
Others from West Lakes have read like this.

He's tough and, in and under and adds hardness, and strength to your side which needs it desperately.
Surely they'll have to play him soon.

Are you sure the final decision isn't mine to make HBF? For all you know, I could have started BigFooty, but just post as this user name so it's not obvious that I'm Chiefington

struggling..............
I agree, however going into the game with only 2 key forwards isn't ideal. Edwards did more than enough to prove that he should be in the side next week. Playing Kreuzer as a tall forward shouldn't be our only option either - i know he may be talented and i'm sure you know alot about him HBF, but how many ruckman can actually go forward and kick goals as if they were a forward? It rarely ever works.
If you're looking for someone to chop, then it should be Hadley imo. Harsh but Edwards is needed for balance. Hadley is still finding his feet.

Hadley?
I actually thought he was quite reasonable on Thursday.
Provided some grunt and aggro around the pack, as well being the first to wrap up the Tigers midfielders after stoppages.
Didn't think he played a bad game C4, just would rather Edwards as an option up forward. Fev and Fish up forward alone isn't enough imho. Bentick in essence replaces Hadley for like.
Who would you suggest if you had the choice?

It's how he was played at the Knights and it worked beautifully. The only game I saw him play I couldn't believe how much time he spent resting up forward. Plus he's a great kick.
Fair enough thy, i just don't think he should be the third tall forward option. Perhaps fourth.
They drift up the ground and don't play as key forwards. Apart from Kozzie who can play as a key forward, the others ruck and kick a goal here and there.

I thought Cam Cloke would become one of those types but he just seems to shit himself in front of goal.
Carrazzo gets alot of the ball but hes not skillful enough to play in the midfield. Houilhan is a senior member and needs to be given responsibility. He needs to step up and play centerhalf back. Thornton is one of the best fullbacks in the league. Waite must play centerhalf forward. That is his natural position.
