I would let Harry start. Make Finn the sub and omit Breust

Hopefully Mackenzie for Ward. Way too talented to be playing for Box Hill. CJ lucky regardless of defensive running patterns. Serong could have played against Max G or Cadman but no obvious match-up this week. Sick of hearing about Whitfield. Had 30 at 3/4 time and we were still 5 goals up! Daniels way more influential in the last. The boys seem confident and are hoping to run (speed) them ragged!
Don't worry, if we lose this week the same call to drop the 22nd man will happen again.
Like swapping our least important player for our next least important player will change the result of our next match.
I don't think Ward is one of Sam's favourites. Fair enough I guess. Sam want elite attributes and he's currently as vanilla as it gets.
Lose and it will be CJ and whoever comes in destined for scapegoat island.

How Ward gets the chop but CJ somehow keeps his position is a mystery. He's had a charmed run.
Hopefully it's Mackenzie that comes straight in.

Crowd is going to be significant.
The AFL members is all but sold out all the GA is gone.
It's going to be another great experience for our boys, regardless of the score.

It’s a squad. Team is announced at 5pm tomorrow.Terrible call with Morrison in.
Best case scenario he’s sub and comes on when we’re 10 goals up like the last 2 times he played.
Need physical players this week.
Sounds pretty good to me.Terrible call with Morrison in.

We lost by 2 points, not 100. Why would you be calling for more changes than that? And why would you drop anyone but the 22nd man? Would you like us to drop our 10th best player instead?
Funnily enough, coaches don't look at swapping the 'least important player' for our 'next least important player' either. They select based on rewarding better form, developing players and for reasons pertaining to team structure. Who knows, maybe the guy that comes in this week becomes one of our most important players in this match as he continues on from a rich vein of form in the VFL and seizes his opportunity.
What a bizarre post.
We do seem to lift for big crowds.
Collective Bargaining Agreement?

That’s why I mentioned both games. If they do the same this week I’d call it a whimper. No excuses.

Don't usually get too hung up over selection, but dropping Ward annoys me. Getting the boot over one bad game is pretty piss poor, especially when everyone else gets a free pass for bad games. I feel he can be a very good player for us and this kind of shit only hurts his development.

I'm happy if it means Cincotta plays in the midfield.
With Box Hill having a bye , the selectors could have easily stated Ward as managed rather than omitted. I feel they are giving him and the whole team a message to perform or there are players good enough to replace you.
A great sign for an emerging club.
Josh is only 20 ,supremely talented and a smart cookie. He will respond positively to the omission and be back in the seniors before season's end

Ward might see himself as a bit unlucky but I don't think you can look at his omission and see it as the incorrect decision. I thought CJs game on the weekend was maybe his worst and least clean I've seen in a while, but you can see why we keep him in - he's a running machine but has an explosiveness that Ward and others don't.
I like Harry as the sub. I reckon if he was sub on the weekend we'd have won. He's a settling influence on the side, he's a good runner and he can play anywhere from HBF to HFF.

I just feel like were gonna get the job done on Sunday. We had far too many players down last week and led for 3/4.
Wont happen again. I fully expect us to come out firing and showing the comp what we are really capable of.
Think Mckenzie has to come in with Burst as sub. Gunston has an important role to play on Weitering (he killed us last few times) Hopefully we put some time into Cripps and the rest should take care of itself.

I understand where you're coming from, but it's never that black and white; every player has a plan from the Coaches perspective, team balance is a consideration, furthermore, this is an elimination final, can we afford to take in a player who's underperformed?
There's invariably several factors for team changes.
Agree on CJ but not on Ward - 11possessions in a game where we really needed him to stand up justifies his omission this week. I get that CJ is down is still playing catch up and we need him to get up to speed but yeh probably needs a spell at Box Hill. Will be interesting to see how he goes against Carlton
Wish they had Williams for company

Interesting just spoke with a friend of mine who works at a certain opposition club that we may or not play this week.
A certain key forward is a genuine test and very very sore. No sure thing to play.
And further to this, Battle is looking more likely to stay than go, however cant be confirmed as of yet.
