A bit of a cliche but we need to make a statement this game against Pies. We lost all credibility against Port.

He showed guts against the Lions, but hasn't done a lot else recently.I can’t agree with dropping Hayward (unless his ankle is screwed).
He had a stinker last week, but prior to that showed genuine ticker & was among our better players.
Agreed. He looks lost.Mills needs to get going to
I just don’t think those changes cut it.Notes
- Jordan to play on Nick Daicos for the entire game please
- Melican and McCartin to take on Cox and McStay, Rampe to Elliott, Cunningham to Hill
- Cameron beat Grundy earlier in the season, so hopefully he gears up for it.
- Keeping the three talls because Collingwood are one side we can exploit, as Howe will be forced onto one of them.
- Mills to sub. Might be a funny one, but I think confidence is as much, if not more of an issue than fitness. Let him come in the second half fresh when opponents are tiring and go hard for 45 minutes.
- I thought Corey Warner was exceptional as sub against Brisbane, he was clean and got to the right positions. If our talls bring it to ground, I back him to be more dangerous than Wicks who has lost sight of what the goals are.
- Fox to play defensive forward on one of the runners. Make them accountable as a lead up target, and not let them run off.
- Parker and Hayward will get Maynard and Quaynor, whichever gets Maynard, take him to the goalsquare and make him defend one on one.
- Midfield ...... just be first to the ball and provide effort

I just don’t think those changes cut it.
After a 112 point embarrassment, there needs to be more of a statement than just culling the usual suspects.
As much as it pains me, I’m pretty sure Cleary is ahead of Sheldrick in Horse’s current order of preference.Only additional in could be Sheldrick.
And need to make sure that isn’t going to mess with the structure that worked, so would be Lloyd or Adams out of the Mids for Sheldrick.. and both of those two actually put in. The other 5 aren’t going anywhere. Jordon has a role.
You could say Heeney goes forward, Parker goes out, Sheldrick into the mids.
Or Florent maybe out of the backs, Fox switches back there, Heeney forward and Sheldrick in to the mids.
Until we don't continue capitulating more drastically than any team I've seen in the past.Wonder how long the pessimism will stay in here...
Onto a weather forecast.
Perfect weather for Footy. Mind you, decent chance of a Dew developing.
Cool, clear and windless evening is Friday.
Yeah, they seem like regular return from injury changes. Needs to be those plus a couple of others, IMOI just don’t think those changes cut it.

So Stewie's going to be pulling the jumper on on Friday night? Couldn't do any worse than the zombies that were in Adelaide last weekend.Wonder how long the pessimism will stay in here...

I would take any win, particularly one that also puts the Pies out of business.I don't know if I want a win, and I definitely don't want a win that papers over the cracks.
I either want to win by 100, or lose by 100.
I’ll take a 1 point win over a 100 point loss. Happy to help paper over the cracks for another week.I don't know if I want a win, and I definitely don't want a win that papers over the cracks.
