I reckon that based on the squad and Dimma's presser, we'll go with:

OUT: Prestia, M. Rioli, Mansell, Miller
IN: Ross, Sonsie, Soldo, Broad

Grimes, Young, Broad
Vlastuin, Balta, Short
McIntosh, Hopper, Pickett
Martin, Ryan, Baker
Bolton, Riewoldt, Cumberland
Soldo, Taranto, Ross
D. Rioli, Cotchin, Sonsie, Clarke
SUB: Ralphsmith
 
Ross deserves a good 5-6 match go at it in the middle.
My only concern our midfield is very one paced.
There’s not a lot of speed in there and Ross for Prestia doesn’t change this much.
Bolton and Bakes can rotate through, Bolton seemed to spend more time in the guts last week and our midfield looked more explosive

We tried Short in that role but he’s definitely a hb. Bakes can play multiple roles including midfield
 
4 possessions and 1 tackle for Mansell, Melbournes Sub had 4 possesions from 9% Game time.

We cant keep carrying a bloke that has almost zero impact on the game cause he stands in the right spots.
Oh I agree. He not that good. Just better than jr as he’s actually hit the scoreboard.

Ralph smith is also poor

Not surprised they would play Soldo without any warm-up games, they have done it before from what I recall and it seems like an act of desperation. Unlike Vlossy he doesn't go well first up from what I remember, and it could do more damage to that injury. Better off with Miller imo until Soldo gets some game time in the 2's. Hopefully they know what they're doing and he gets through unscathed and makes an impact.

Love me some Baker forward, hope he does well and can stay there.

Hence why he's been in & out.
Prestia/Cotch/Dusty/Graham.All not quick but obviously best 22.
 
We are slowly starting to get our sh*t together. Hopefully we can start to turn that into consistent performances within games and then wins. And then .... I make a trip to Melbourne for the last Saturday in September.

We can dream anyway

Good changes
 
Yeah happy with those changes. Pleasantly surprised Mansell is out and equally Ross and Sonsie in.

edit: Just realized Miller stayed in :sick:
Don't mind it, means Baby Giraffe Ryan stays at home inside the 50, which should cause issues for the Suns defenders
