Obviously injuries, young list, losing etc make it difficult, and this post is in no way me having a crack at bailey, but by my records he has never uttered the words 'no change' when the team is announced, and this will be his 31st game in charge.

This week we are very strong, however id imagine Jamar and Bartram may come back in next week for saints game, and i think watts will come in for queens birthday game.

So which round will we go in unchanged?

My guess is round 12 v Essendon.

Id put my money on 'no change' not appearing this year.

Far too many players that we need to rotate, so we can determine who stays and who goes come seasons end.

Agreed. We have a lot of young guys who need to get some game time, and quite a few older players who need a chance to show what they can do before they are delisted/traded.

I would consider it a major step in the non-tanking direction for us to go into round 2 next year with an unchanged lineup. Injuries aside, it would be nice to have a list of footballers that can afford a few passengers... rather than a list of passengers that are screaming out for some footballers.

There's always changes because we've got a lot of young players fighting for their spots, and their form waxes and wanes - not to mention our horrid run with injuries.

Once our best side is settled and we're playing consistently good footy, we'll start seeing fewer changes.

I would think Bailey still wants to have a look at a few more. Watts, Bail, Straus, Jurrah etc... Add that with injures and maybe some smart team management to receive the PP I dont think we'll have a week of no change.

With the amount of injuries and under performers that we have it`s not a suprise.

Have a look in the Friday papers and you'll find that 'No Change' rarely appears any more. Most teams have a change or two either in bringing a good player back or rotating through youngsters.

I couldn't really care less if we didn't have an unchanged line up at all this year, provided that the players who should be playing, are playing.
