Gawn has to come in, even half fit he would have been better than pederson.

Gawn has to replace Pederson and Blease must come in.

Might stop us from losing by over 100 points, maybe lose by around 40

Gawn Viney & Blease to come in.

Selectors have a couple of challenges. Firstly to to match up on a very big strong defence and secondly to get far more aggression into our blokes. Yet again our list seems big and strong enough but we never seem to get them on the field. Even before games start our match ups and structures are underweight and give the opposition many options against us. 51 points just doesn't cut it and I would like to know who is going to kick goals for us.

Pederson & Spencer offered us nothing. Pederson looks unfit. Bring in Gawn & ????

The forward line seems like the biggest problem and is going to remain that way for some time. We need to do something in the meantime until Dawes and Hogan are fit. Maybe we should consider Frawley forward and Pederson back? The addition of Gawn would definitely help.

bring in howe Sorry he was playing wasnt he? No bring in viney and if Tom doesnt come up another backman. Id drop Bail for Blease or even evans.

Gawn in for Fitzy.

Surely Gawn for Pedersen?

Surely Gawn for Pedersen?

Yeah good call, I just thought Gawn for fitz if fitz doesnt come up from concussion

Looks like Max King will get and early debut...

Who is left to bring in? Clark, Hogan, Dawes, Fitzpatrick, Jamar, Gawn, Garland, McDonald - almost all our tall timber are gonna be on the sidelines. Should we try Dunn forward? I seriously have no idea what we can do its like shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic and West Coast will f-log us by triple figures.

Seriously f-log is censored?

Anyone above 6'2 please come and have a kick in the forward line.

Boot studders, cheer squad members, banner constructors, old lovers of the players, whoever!

If you are 6'2 and taller, please come and have a run in our forward line next week.

Troy Davis might be handy.

Gawn obviously comes in but if Fitzy doesn't come up then we probably have to keep Pedersen forward.

If McDonald does come up (and given how sore he was I think he wont) then we might need Pedersen down back. If West Coast play 2 rucks plus Kennedy (Frawley), Darling (Georgiou) and Sinclair then we need someone bigger than Dunn.

Blease for Byrnes is obvious. Keep JKH as sub I think.

Most of the rest of the running players went ok.

Did Viney not play VFL? Jetta apparently ok but so were our small defenders.

Assuming Viney played and got through a full game.

In: Gawn, Blease, Viney,

Out: Pederson, Michie, JKH

Pederson to play back if T-Mac out.

Sat next to David Neitz in the crowd. Suggested he would be a chance of a game. Didn't look too unfit!

I reckon Howe Gawn and Pederson will be our targets up forward

Byrnes out for Blease

Viney needs to come in

and we need alot more out of Cross

pederson is a list filler and was there to fill about 3 vacant places we have.

thought he did his best for the type of delivery thrown towards him.

no complaints.

gawn,wont be playing unless fit and can obey the new team rules.i like that.

Wasn't it mentioned that Hogan may be ok for next week?

No complaints about Pedersen really? Couldn't take more than just 1 mark on the lead all night. Missed a goal from 10m out. Generally slow and inept. There's a reason he was converted to train with the backline, he just has absolutely no impact forward. Down back he's so slow that he's not much better but if a match up can be found for him he might offer something as a depth defender if McDonald is injured.

Gawn's now played 3 Casey games I think. If Fitzy or McDonald is out he's a shoe in, if not he's still better value as the second ruck and playing Fitzy as the key forward and getting rid of Pedersen.

Excited to see Viney in a photo from the Casey thread. As long as he played enough game time to be match fit then he has to come in. Even if he's the sub.

We need to manufacture a tall forward line, id bring in Gawn and King......Viney and blease must also play.

OUT: Pedersen, Byrnes, JKH

IN: Gawn, Viney, Blease

King is a rookie isn't he? And isn't Riley nearly off the LTI list?

The Spencer hate from last night's game is a historical one. People just remember him being unco and therefore can't recognise what he did. He was excellent last night rucking basically unchanged thanks to Fitzy's injury. Did very well and worked hard.

I agree that Gawn should come in, but I think that Pederson may play back if McDonald can't play. I'm not a fan of just plonking a ruckman in the square full time, but it's clear that we need at least some form of target for a long kick inside 50. If it doesn't work then sub him out.

I don't hate Spencer and yes he rucked all night and had a go. But he didn't get one hit out to advantage that I can recall. His marking around the ground is non-existent.

I would say 12 disposals, 40 hitouts, and 9 tackles is better than what we would have got from a fit Jamar last night, so it's not like we have a better option.
