mckenzie in the team i reckon

Bennel will be looked at. He had one kick! Jetta not much better. Rivers might have to stay if Garland is out although Carlton don't have a match up for him. Miller was back to his usual self.

OUT: Bruce (omitted), Garland (inj), Rivers (omitted), Macdonald (Omitted)

INS: Scully, Trengove, Bate, McKenzie

Carlton have a small forward-line, so we will need to change our defensive structure a little in order to counteract the pace of their forwards. Scully and Trengove pick themselves, Bate is a marking forward who can play on the wing, and McKenzie's toughness and tackling are really important for us.

Out: Rivers (Was a liability today and no obvious match up for him next week either), Garland (inj), MacDonald (will get burnt for pace next week)

In: Trengove, Scully, Bate

That must be you Dee_Flower!

whoever gets dropped will be stiff imo, but scully, trengove and bate have to come in. mckenzie should also come in imo.

Give Millar a break. What do you expect the way the ball was delivered into him (which wasn't very often)

agreed!!

no one really stood out much

i dont think bennell or jetta will get dropped surely its not like we expected them to have a fantastic game as they were playing the best team in the comp

I don't care who goes out, but we need Scully, Trengove and Bate back.

I'd also look at maybe rewarding Cheney with a game, given Carlton have plenty of small forwards we need to cover.

I thought about that too, but who would he replace?

Rivers for one.

MacDonald.

Neither of those guys were good today, and neither of them have a decent match up next week.

In : Scully, Trengrove, Bate, Maric, McKenzie

Out : Wonna, Garland, Jetta, not sure who else due to ratios but we need to look at Bail and Cheney also

Players to watch out are Bruce, Sylvia, Jones

Rivers for one.

MacDonald.

I agree, but I already have them out for our returning mids. Obviously this isn't a direct exchange, but if we want to also bring in Trengully and McKenzie, we'll need to think hard about which mids we'll drop.

In: Scully, Trengove, McKenzie, Bate

Out: Garland (inj), MacDonald, Rivers, Bruce/Wonaeamirri

Scullgove and McKenzie are automatic inclusions, we need Bate more than ever up forward if we're going to ruck Miller.

MacDonald can't dispose of it and is too slow for Carlton's forward line, Rivers is gone, and I can't make my mind up over who of Bruce and Wonna goes to get the fourth inclusion in the side.

Chook, do you realize you've dropped most of the backline, our strength this year?

I dropped Rivers who was shocking, Macdonald who is too slow to play against the Blues' mobile forward-line, and a guy who is injured. So sue me.

Why is Mckenzie an automatic selection. He was dropped for poor form. See how he goes tomorrow for Casey. Hopefully Garland will be ok but with Carltons forward line we should expect to go in small.

Sue you? You sound like you think I'm having a big crack at you. I wasn't being facetious.

Sorry if your [censored] off at the moment, but I was looking realistically at next week. I'm not bothered at all about today, I had no expectations for todays result, so I'm not disappointed.

My focus is FIXED firmly on the future Grand Finals, single mindedly.

I can't comment on todays game as I didn't hear it & I have not yet watched the replay. I'll study it thouroghly tonight or tomorrow.

It'll be interesting how Casey goes tomorrow, as I have some matchup Ideas.

Because he is in our best 22 and he has been great this year.

Yep. Also along similar lines, Strauss, Cheney and Bail. Could be some openings if they have a good game tomorrow. But equally, hard to single out any particular players today, we were just over-run by a team a league above us and in full flight.

I'm not mad. It's just that it seemed like you thought my suggestion had no merit whatsoever.

In: Scully, Trengove, Bate + Any strong performers at Casey particularly Spencer, Martin (ruck) or McKenzie

Out: Any of Wona, Rivers, Garland (inj), Macdonald less likely Bartram, Watts, Bennell, Jones.

In Bate, Scully, Trengove, Strauss/Bail (dependant on performance)

Out Rivers, Garland (inj), Wonna, MacDonald
