Out Dunn. In Garland or O'Mac. Or both.

Those calling for Garland should remember how much better the backline looked with Dunn.  Garland needs to play more than one good VFL game.  And Frost isn't going to be sent back, a pre-season mistake training him with the forwards.

Oliver must come back in.  ANB also, has earned his spot.   Viv next, White close.

Out: Salem, Frost.  Viv should be in for Hunt, however that's unlikely.

LUMUMBA is a joke, if he's caught 1 out its over, can't kick, has no vision, 1 trick pony (run in straight line 14.5m then kick ball blindly).

i need to hold my breath any time he is involved.

I also hold my breath when Tmac or frost are involved..

If we had an end to end passage of play that was Tmac on to H then him give to Frost i think I'd pass out

Couldn't see this posted anywhere. Effectively rules Trenners out of senior action for the forseeable future. 

Wonder what he needs to do to prove he is ready?

Have the Suns forgotten what happened the last time one of their players with a crook shoulder met Jack Viney?

In -   Oliver, ANB, Stretch, White

Out - Salem (inj) Harmes, Frost, Hunt

And if the story of Tommy Mac being roasted for not following instructions is true

Out: T Mac 

In: Garland

Trengove would be the next but a previous article seems to rule him out this week!

out wagner (rested)

frost (omiited) 

 

if salem is unavailable i believe we should play matt jones or take a punt with bernie vince of the half back flank and consequently stretch comes on to interchange.

Frost in my opinion should go back to the Vfl and play CHB as he as all the attributes to play successful in this position. although Oscar mcdonald is a key position and 196 cm i believe he should play the third tall this week ahead of garland. also its going to be handy having the three balls if tom lynch becomes uncontrollable. Jayden hunt deserves another week, although he does look tired but we lack speed and that kid has SPEED, hunt can also rotate of half back. ANB has been in cracking form consequently should play his first game of the season. I think wagner should just have a break this week to make way for oscar, although i seriously rate this kid!!! either oscar or garland should play the third tall this week but id rather oscar just to develop him. i wouldn’t be surprised if we even opted for mitch white and went for a smaller option.

Sick of having Frost in our team. He is not a footballer nor will he ever be a footballer.

Good to have you on board Woodyy. But please note, your font selection is feeding into MFC stereotypes.

Nice Woodyy, you lost Kent however.  Given your appreciation for speed I would've thought he'd make the cut?   Harmes too, though he's potentially injured.

Hmm Day and Saad likely to play for GC. Beware a team coached by Eade after a flogging, too. Some people here are pencilling this game in already at our peril I reckon..

Having thought that I may have changed my mind a week ago, I again have absolutely no expectations for this side: far more talented than for many years, but sadly mentally still very soft

Mate you watching the games? Against the pies he hit a leading forward lace out 3 times with run from half back , insane comment based on what is a common misconception.

Just what I was going to say.

He has some insane attributes for a key position player and has plenty of time to learn the game. I think Frost will be alright and needs game time.

What might someone fabricate about Sam Frost? Check his birthday above, it's correct. And not that difficult to do.

While i agree he can possibly one day get there, i am starting to think that he needs to give more consistantly to prove his worth now, otherwise we are falling back into the trap of gifting games. Granted after 2 goals on the weekend im not sure he should be dropped this week but i want to start to see a goal a game and a few more marks to show that he should be in the team. Because if they wanna continue play a key forward who, for now, isnt up to it, I would rather see the weed (who also isnt up to it) atleast he has the skill to cover his deficiencies.

I agree to a point but I think the main issue should be Pedo vs Frost. Weed shouldn't be in the conversation yet because we all know how damaging it can be to throw a key forward into the mix too early. Hogan the obvious exception, because he is a freak.

I think Pedo is a better option at this stage, but the development needs to be put into Frost. Therefore it's a balancing act.

[SaberFang 7,141]

Don't forget that Gold Coast have a first round pick riding on our ladder position. They'll be desperate to beat us.

Yeah i agree weed shouldnt be in i was just using him as an example because i think frost is just as far off the pace. Pedo is always gonna be the better option for now because he can clunk a mark. If frost was taking more marks a game i wouldnt have a problem especially playing 60-80m from goal where his poor kicking is hidden, i think he would be super damaging but right now, whether through lack of skill or confidence im not sure, we are seeing him drop 2/3 or more sitters a game. He is costing us more scoring opportunities than he is creating. When he starts grabing a few marks laying a few tackles and create more opportunities for those around him he will be very much worth while having in but at this stage he is becoming too much of a liability. Give him another week but if he doesnt show improvement against the Suns i would be looking elsewhere for the time being.

[Demon Jack 6,397]

I believe that Frost may become our Mark Blicavs. Similar height and weight and both have very good speed. Frost just needs more time to develop. Blicavs was a very rusty footballer in his first two or so years before he really started to learn how to use his body and speed while being given a consistent run in the seniors.
