he fears our rampaging defence

 

[boncer34]

Agreed, can see a 4/5 haul in him this week.

He's been dropped so maybe the VFL

 

[boncer34]

Hope you're wrong on Goldy.

I'm not.

 

[DapperDon]

Only 7 and half years until this plan pays off!

 

[Kong]

Heppell, Hind, Wright out for Goldstein, Menzie and Laverde

in

Unimaginative and shithouse.

A Brad Scott special.

 

[andleanback]

Can’t wait to see heppell still and half back and Kelly returning to the wing

Hallelujah finally they’ve dropped heppell

Yet how is Perkins not out and Hobbs not in. We are doing Perkins no favours. There’s no selection integrity… and if they make Menzie the sub, suddenly we are way too tall yet again.

Well that’s uninspiring. Somehow we’re as slow maybe even slower than last week.

 

[Petrify]

Perkins still in.

 

[BratPack]

Double Ruck again.

Crom by 60

 

[Snake Charmer]

Wright dropped is

 

[MiguelM]

Suspect they will use Draper forward for large chunks of the game.

Hind very unlucky IMO.

 

[andleanback]

Double Ruck again.

Crom by 60

Double ruck is okay when wright isn’t also in the side

 

[andleanback]

Suspect they will use Draper forward for large chunks of the game.

Hind very unlucky IMO.

I hope not, just a small amount to make the ruck minutes rotation work. If anything they should see what caddy can do with a bit of space to roam under the roof, Draper will just get in the way.

Really poor at the selection table this week. Cox and Perkins simply had to be dropped and Hobbs simply had to play.

Hind really stiff, the only one to blame for his form slump is his coach.

Heppell OUT

ALL HAIL (Omitted)

I’m hoping Perkins is made the sub, is the perfect type of player to be the sub and also the kick up the ass he needs. Surely we can’t make Menzie the sub and then play 0 small forwards in the side ( guelfi doesn’t play as a small forward)

We all know its going to be Menzie.

It's honestly laughable that Perkins is getting games over Hobbs.

 

[Zach Package]

The poetic dichotomy of Scott dropping someone who’s been given a shit sandwich of a role and literally the easiest role in the world at the same time, and somehow both are unexpected.

 

[bommer16]

There could be a late change. Never know.

I’m just holding out hope that Hobbs being left out is just a sick joke and will be a late in.

And yeah, Perkins seems the kind that may need to be humbled a bit to fire him up again. Seems to be playing with zero intensity lately.

It's criminal.
He has done fk all for well over a month and a half.

 

[Call Me Cake]

One step at a time guys. We can't get everything right at once.

Maybe the reasoning is that Perkins has more of a forward craft (and ability to kick from 50) than Hobbs does and our midfield is pretty set whereas on the scoreboard is where we've been lacking. Even though Archie hasn't impacted the goals much, there's probably a hope that he'll find his ticker.

If Hobbs can keep being consistent he'll probably make his case soon enough.
