Would not risk Menzel next week. Needs to be rested.
To be honest, not many I can see that need to be dropped after today but Ellard seems to lack impact compared to the rest.
Holman should be given another game after that last quarter.
Most of us were giving it to Ellard today yet he found it 18 times and laid 5 tackles, not bad for small fwd... Although he was wasteful

He tried hard as usual, but he made a couple of bad mistakes at crucial times when the game was still in the balance. Great attitude and a good vfl player but thats it. I'd say he might've played his last game of afl footy.
 
Bell and Graham would have to be fighting for BoG most likely Bell. just love how Graham runs out games and is always an option.

Rowe his disposal is really going to hurt us in the future, so many shit kicks.

Ellard is gone.

Army has earnt a contract going forward, thought he was done.

We seriously have no use for Warnock unless Kruze and Wood fall over.

Yarran really looks disinterested and kind of overweight????

Bucks is getting better every week.

Cripps did well with the hard tag, needs to get a bit of support with it.

Levi is doing his job every week as is Hedo and Everitt is exceeding expectations.

Thouhy, Simpson and Doc are doing a good job in the backline. But our tall backs are a bit of a worry, Rowe and White battle but yeah not ideal.

Overall good and the effort was good, but our disposal kept them in it.
 
Menzel looked on early and then got hurt. If he is fit, he should play. His intensity, his real issue earlier, is great. I am very happy to see him step up his tackling and pressure

If he's not ready give Johnson a go.

These kids don't play like kids............I'm sort of getting sick of people making out as though they have no balls about them..............some of these guys are seriously hard.

Hoping for the same re:Johnson if Menzel doesn't come up.
Boekhorst for Ellard but Jamison will be pressing as well.
 
Cripps and Judd could've been something really special together in our midfield in the future, I guess we'll never know!!
 
Can't help but feel we're slower playing with 2 rucks..

Felt as if Wood was spending pretty much most of the game in the forward line. He didn't have a bad game but surely we could do with another runner in his place.

Nah we are better off dropping Ellard and bringing in Boekhurst.

19 disposals and a few hitouts is decent for Wood.

Really liking the Henderson-Everitt-Casboult combination up forward (although I thought Hendo was average today). I've enjoyed watching Levi's development this year, he's becoming a very effective footballer and should get a solid goal haul this year if he continues at this rate (would love him to have a real 'breakout' 5 goals plus game some time soon, just to really get his confidence up).

Love that Cripps managed 20 disposals and an equal team high 6 tackles despite being tagged by that talentless hack whose name doesn't deserve repeating.

Murph played well but I think his disposal inside 50 this year has been very poor - lots of half-volleys and generally not kicking to the forward's advantage at all. If he can sharpen that up we'll be a far better team for it, he's been very good in every other area the last month or so.

Thought Wood and Kreuz were excellent in the ruck. Wood is no star but jeez he tries his absolute heart out.

Armfield continues his purple patch of extremely good form - put that one down as another win for Barker.

Tuohy is pretty much back to career best form, has been terrific this year after a horrid 18 months prior.

Loved Bucks' game today, you just knew he was going to drill that long goal as soon as he grabbed the footy.

Rowe urgently needs to sharpen up his disposal, hopefully we get Jamison's cool head back in there next week to stabilise things.
 
Kreuzer/Wood combo worked well. Vs Minson & Boyd relieving next week.
Really impressed with Nick Holman's effort after being subbed in. Deft boot and good hands in close.
Buck's, Dre, Belly, Dochers, Army, Murph, Simmo (steady), Graham and even Crippa did well, fighting off the hard tag and kept trying.
Rowe, seriously, hit a target off a mark/free kick.
