Was going to post the same thing. I agree it's a chance to reward Evans' good form by promoting him.

Don't think we should bring back any of the players dropped last week as yet and Jamar can manage another week with Dunn suppoting him.

Bate was slow and ineffective. Got caught with the ball in defence which led to a crows goal. Clearly our worst on ground.

We would be better off with Morton in his stead.

Out Grimes, Trenners, Bate

in Bennell, Martin, MacDonald

Bate had a game to forget but the fault of that 'caught in defence' was Jamar's for not looking behind Bate and seeing he would be under immediate pressure.

bit hard to say who should come in until we see a Scorps report of Sundays game

It's a tough one this week. A few things to consider:

Jamar cannot survive a full game on his own against Goldstein. Goldstein is in ripping form around the ground so we need an extra tall. Even though Dunn's fill-in-ruck work was much better than I expected, he will not be able to match with Goldstein. With Spencer going down Martin needs to be at least considered.

Grimes was tried in the middle, so it is possible his replcement would be a midfielder rather than a defender. Even so, Joel MacDonald will be considered but his kicking skills are questionable under pressure.

North play a very physical game and Bennell would get monstered. He does not cope with too much heavy work, so for mine he should not be considered.

Stupidly, Trenners will not get off. The MRP got this one wrong but stabnd by nad watch the tribunal agree!! This is going to be our gretest loss - this bloke is in outstanding form.

So,...

OUT Grimes, Trengove,

IN Martin, Jetta/Rivers (depending on whether they go for a mid or defender to replace Grimes)

Just read last weeks, or the week before, or the week before that, or even one from last year. They are a carbon copy of each week!

OUT: Grimes, Trengove, Dunn

IN: Rivers, Evans, Martin

I do love all the player bashing posts. Some people are only ever happy when they can find fault. Personally I think that if you win by 90+ points you can let go and be a little happy with the way the team played.

Warnock did a bloody good job on Tippett, beat him out every time when it came to a footrace and held his own in the marking contests. I assure you none of our other backs would have found him any less tall.

Bate was hard and determined in the forwardline. His tackling pressure was a highlight. Sure, he only kicked one goal, but he had a hand in several more. It's a fact of life that not everyone in the forward line will kick a bag every week. He served his purpose in applying heavy pressure and preventing them from running the ball out of defense.

Once again I'll say the obvious. You don't change a team that wins by that much. Grimes out if he's injured. Replace him with Joel Mac or perhaps another running mid. Other than that leave the team alone and see if they can do it again.

His size and bulk rounded off the forwardline balance nicely.. All in all, the synergy of the forwardline was due to all the changes made last week.. It's all worked thus far.

For me, only one change, and No added softness. A backup ruck, Martin or Newton.

Bate had a game to forget but the fault of that 'caught in defence' was Jamar's for not looking behind Bate and seeing he would be under immediate pressure.

Bate was effective. you better watch the replay. He influenced every contest around him. It's not in the stats, and if you cant see it. well.

Out: grimes, bate

In: Martin, jetta

Bate is not good enough. Martin or jamar resting in the forward line will

As much as bate does.

Jetta deserves a crack in defence. Good leg speed and tough at it, bennell

Can be a bit soft sometimes and should get another week at Casey to prove himself.

Warnock gets another week

Someone tell me - if you're suspended from the AFL are you eligible for the VFL?

Nup can't play VFL. Like your IN's/OUT's too!

I agree with Striker475 & boydie.

OUT: Grimes & Trengove

IN: Macdonald & Evans

When McKenzie & Scully is back to match fitness, & Trengove back from suspension, the FD is going to have to make some big outs to fit them back into the 22.

just heard Jamar out for a month!!

OUT: Jamar (inj.), Trengove (susp.), Grimes (inj.)

IN: Martin, Newton, Jetta

Martin is the obvious replacement for Jamar and Newton as his chop-out. We won't win many hitouts so we will need Jetta and Bartram's tackling pressure around stoppages if we are to stand a chance at all.

Great, Newton and Martin in.

We're going to struggle.

Out: Jamar, Grimes, Trengove.

In: No, Worthy, Replacements.

Good god, we're either going to have to throw in a Leigh Brown sized guy in Martin, or someone whos played barely half a dozen VFL games of note in Gawn to ruck.

Please no Jetta, I'd prefer we try Evans or Nicholson.

Probably by default Joel Mac comes in for Frank, but his pre season form was abominable.

OUT: Grimes, Jamar, Trengove

IN: Macdonald, Martin, Bennell

Agreed. Wouldn't hate to see Evans promoted (in the spot of Bennell) either.

OUT: Grimes, Trengove, Jamar

IN: Martin, Macdonald, Gawn

Honestly, Martin isn't big enough to go one-on-one with a Goldstein, we'll get smashed - see Hawthorn last year when they lost Renouf in the first quarter. I know he's only played a few VFL games, but hell, take the risk I figure. Better to win one in five hitouts as compared to one in ten. Get Max to spend the week doing extra technique practice with Jamar and Robbie watching him and giving pointers.

We've been giving a lot of our other young guns a shot, and we figured Max would get a go at some point this season. Why not?

OUT: The AFL

IN: A good book.

Cant believe Spencer and Jamar have been injured in the same week.

Jamar put in far more draining performances last year and came up fine the next week. Dunn rucked most of the last quarter, and Jamar can handle himself.

In: MacDonald

Out: Grimes (inj)

Shows what I know.

Out - Jamar, Grimes, Trengove...

In - Martin, Bennell, MacDonald

Bloody Warnock might have to be a ruck option.
