[TheGrizz]

In: Setterfield, Wanganeen, Baldwin
Out: Caldwell (inj), Guelfi (omit), Cox (omit)

Cox unlucky, but Baldwin deserves to play on form between the two of them.

 

[MiguelM]

Out:
Cox, Guelfi, Davey, Caldwell

In: Setters, Baldwin, Monty, Wanganeen

 

[TheFrenchCut]

It's amazing that we can:

• have infinity key defenders on the list
• play the same two each week
• yet somehow recognise things aren't working and chase another in McKay?

 

[Flash10]

We'll kick 30 goals next week, put your mother in law on it.

My mother in law is dead

 

[d-mac3276]

Ya’ll know we’ll make one change as that’s what we do…accept mediocrity in the ones and not reward guys doing it in the twos

 

[Foxx]

We'll win to buy ourselves another week.

 

[andleanback]

In: Setterfield, Wanganeen, Baldwin
Out: Caldwell (inj), Guelfi (omit), Cox (omit)

Cox unlucky, but Baldwin deserves to play on form between the two of them.

Cox was great in the first half as a DEFENDER
laverde deserves to be dropped over him

 

[andleanback]

In - Tex baldwin
Out - guelfi laverde

 

[TheWeapon]

Out in order of preference: Kelly (please no more playing this guy on a wing ffs he is slow in decision making and telegraphs his disposal), Guelfi (bog average), Davey Jnr (body looks cooked for the year)
In: Baldwin, AMT, Wanganeen

Show vision of Martin pulling out of a marking contest due to fear of contact, all broken tackles (technical issues), the amount of times WCE went coast to coast due to lack of pressure and defensive system
Peter Wright needs his shoulder injected if it is affecting his marking ability, otherwise do a 1000 drills during the week on one grabbing the footy in the air against BZT
I don't care if they can't pick their way perfectly through a zone with their skills, the bare minimum expectation is effort and aggression at the contest

 

[DallasCrane316]

Our small forward brigade is struggling. No where near the fall of the ball. Failing to apply pressure to keep the ball locked in the F50.

Think Menzie, Guelfi and Davey would be in line to be dropped.

Tex should get a call up. Think Setterfield will play too.

Don’t think the two ruck combo is overly beneficial to us right now. Wouldn’t be opposed to dropping one and playing Voss.

Can’t see Baldwin playing even though I think he deserves it.

Winning this would make things interesting as apparently Stringer has said both he and Draper are aiming to return for the GWS game.

I really can’t see us winning this though.

 

[Foxx]

In - Tex baldwin
Out - guelfi laverde

Guelfi Laverde sounds up himself anyway.
Tex Baldwin sounds like just the cowboy this team needs!

Guelfi Laverde sounds up himself anyway.
Tex Baldwin sounds like just the cowboy this team needs!

Tex baldwin our lord and savior

 

[Vindicater]

Out: Guelfi (omit), Caldwell (inj), McGrath (manage)

In: Wanganeen, Setterfield, Baldwin

Baldwin/Lav as the KPD.
Redman and Hind as attackers
Cox and Zerk to play mopup

 

[thepokey]

In: Setterfield, Wanganeen, Baldwin
Out: Caldwell (inj), Guelfi (omit), Cox (omit)

Cox unlucky, but Baldwin deserves to play on form between the two of them.

Word is they do not want to play Baldwin unless it is one of the two key defensive spots that Laverde and BTZ are playing. Hope he can get a game. His form is well above average. Wanganeen has to play.

 

[eth-dog]

Out: Heppell, Kelly, Caldwell (inj), Davey
In: Baldwin, Wanganeen, Walla, Setterfield

Baldwin on Larkey
Zerk on the resting ruck
Lav on Stephenson
McGrath on Curtis

 

[bennyg12]

Davey can't play give him the rest of the season off

 

[Duckworth]

I’m not liking this Kelly playing up the ground plan. Wanganeen is a better option here.

Baldwin to take Laverde’s role and then shift Laverde to Heppell.

Setterfield only a game in the VFL, but could use his output.

So I guess based on the above…

Out: Kelly Heppell and Caldwell (inj)
In: Wanganeen, Baldwin and Setterfield

 

[naraku]

In: Tex, AMT, Baldwin, Montgomerie, Setters
Out: Guefli, Davey, Cox, Laverde(managed), Kelly.

 

[jdstorm]

Most of these teams have too many defenders so one needs to go

FB Cox- Laverde - McGrath
HB Redman - Zerk - Hind

C Durham - Merrett- Martin
R Phillips- Setterfield - Parish

HF Perkins - Langford - Tex
FF Menzie - Wright - Guelfi

iC Heppell, Hobbs, Bryan, Tsatas

 

[VelvetSledge]

For all of Brad’s positives, his glaring negative is a distinct refusal to make changes to a team that is struggling.

With that in mind, I fully suspect it will be one change, we will play 15 minutes of one quarter and we will lose by 25 odd.

Counting down until the end of Round 24…

 

[eth-dog]

North had a good 45 minutes but they're flagging now

 

[blitzer]

There's no need to worry about us this week. North are actually shit scared that they'll actually win and reduce their chance of a priority pick. So they are no threat whatsoever.

Hell if North get ahead on the scoreboard you'll probably see their coaching staff panicking.

So rest up anyone who needs it this week. Its a freebie.

 

[BomberManU]

There will be no meaningful changes and we'll lose by 22 points.
