In - menzie, voss, Hurley (farewell, can’t be worse than some of the efforts from players today), hobbs
Out- take your pick

 

[bombreys]

Do a few senior guys finally get dropped? Heppell, Langford?

Or do we go the usual route and just drop a few kids for Ham, Cutler and Phillips?

 

[bennyg12]

Clangers needs to be dropped

Out: Bryan, Parish and Langford

Why is everyone calling for Parish to be an OUT?

Am I missing something or are we tanking>?

There's a a group on this board who attribute our 20 years of mediocrity to Parish being a full time mid for the last 18 months.

There's a a group on this board who attribute our 20 years of mediocrity to Parish being a full time mid for the last 18 months.

There are several different groups of posters who attribute 20 years of mediocrity to a variety of different short term appointments.

It’s systemic, Parish is a symptom.

 

[carnthedons]

It’s gonna be ugly. A club with some degree of mental toughness wouldn’t put in performances like the last couple of weeks but if it did it’d come out and respond. Our meek little flowers won’t do anything.

Because he was horrible today and I don't think we can have all of Shiel, Parish and Merrett in the same midfield rotation.

[Reximilian]

In: Hurley, Menzie, Francis, Hobbs, Jones
Out: Langford, Heppell, Parish, Bryan, Stringer

Cutler the sub, Ridley to replace Heppell on a wing with Francis back flank. Laverde forward instead of Stringer so Hurley can be at FB. Tell Merrett he’s captain from now on.

McGrath Hurley Kelly
Francis ZT Redman
Ridley Caldwell Martin
Perkins Jones Laverde
Menzie Wright Guelfi

Eyre is barely vfl standard

 

[Doss]

We’ll get burnt to a crisp.

Sad that what will almost certainly be Hurley’s final game will be a paddling for a team that has patently put the cue in the rack.

 

[windyhill]

We are their bitch. We used to treat richmond with utter contempt. Wheel turned full circle. I’m going, I think I’m mental. Actually richmonds bitch, and it’s not a recent thing.

He's the scapegoat people use so we can avoid talking about the soft performances from our Vice Captain, who has been nowhere to be seen the last 2 weeks, and the rest of our midfield. Parish is a problem, not the problem.

Here’s my preview…

Both teams run out, they kick our arses, we go back to rooms, season ends and players fly out to Spain

Why the hell does Francis deserve a farewell game? Seriously.

that was for me.
if it's gonna be a shit show, may as well see Franga one last time.
i have 6+ months of no hope coming up. It may as well die with the player i pegged all my hopes on
