Come on now! Cox was a far better performer in the ruck than Begg was when he was promoted.

If they drop Poulter they are clueless
Until they start holding the senior guys to account for their poor form and lack of commitment to the contest, nothing will change
Make a statement at selection - not just drop the kids every time

I hope you're right!
I think they drop Tyler Brown if Elliott comes in and plays a bit of midfield. Sidebottom and Crisp having the flu make it interesting because Crisps best replacement would be one of the Browns and Sidebottoms best replacement would probably be Poulter. Maybe I have no idea and im totally wrong.I think you could be right about that.I actually forgot that Poulter played last week,that’s why I didn’t include him in my outs,

You’re still missing an out in the OP since Macrae was the sub. From your op I’d guess Murphy to the ins whilst McCreery and Henry go to the outs.

The damn sub makes naming/guessing the team way harder than it should be.

Not the greatest game, but Tyler Brown showed something different on the weekend and I didn’t mind it. Reckon he’ll get another crack at it.
Such a predicament because Sidebottom hasn’t been good, but his experience and smarts is needed and it’s not fair to continually drop the kids (Poulter and Macrae) without giving them extended time in the seniors.
Cal, Madgen and Begg definitely out. It’s a big call who that fourth out will be and Macrae would be fairly stiff to miss or be made the sub again but also doesn’t make the starting 22.
I’m hesitant in dropping McCreery because we need that tackling pressure. He’s the most logical medical sub with Macrae as the 4th out.
No Grundy, Roughead or Kreuzer.
Im a Tyler Brown fan. I feel he is about half a season away from getting his mojo going in the senior team. I agree he is starting to show little snippets of potential. But I dont mind if he plays in the VFL or AFL as long as he gets some decent game time.
I feel Sidebottom needs a break, he showed some form in the first few games. Im happy with the outs. Im also a fan of McCreerys pressure.

It confuses me every week.
Would we need Murphy for height?
Crisp best replacement is one of the Beige brothers , !!
, hear some weird stuff on here , you could have both Beige brothers rolled into one playing and they still would not get close to Crisp’s output

I agree. I think that Begg needs 2 to 3 pre-seasons & a lot of time in the gym to bulk up so that he can physically withstand the physical demands & pressure that an AFL ruckman and/or key forwards require. At least Cox has a mature body & the height factor that will always allow him to be competitive in the ruck. I think that it is entirely logical & rational to play Cox in the team until Grundy returns. Who knows? Perhaps the responsibility of being the Number 1 ruckman may be the making of him? Goodnight & good luck.
I am worried about Elliott being selected without any time in the VFL. Given his recurrent history with multiple injuries over a long period of time, I would rather that he be nursed back into the AFL via at least 1 game in the VFL. In addition, sending him to Perth for his very 1st game back somewhat reeks of desperation to me. Hopefully I am totally wrong & that he comes back in fantastic form & kicks 3 to 4 goals against Fremantle & most importantly he does not sustain any more injuries. Still I am worried. Goodnight & good luck.
Cox has a mature body that gets blown over by a 5 km south easterly breeze , strength personified, but he is the best available at the moment .
I do think that you are being somewhat unfair with his physical constraints. They usually manifest in marking performances especially when he has played as a key forward. I think that there a less of an issue when he plays as a dedicated knock ruckman! OK. Goodnight & good luck!

Oh well I thought our luck had changed with Sidebottom being crook but FM he's still picked
