OUT: Harmes, Kennedy-Harris, Spencer and Johnstone.

IN: Tyson, Watts, Frost and Trengove.

 

and Vince on a forward flank..............never again in the backline.

I think you will find the bench goes back to normal length next game.

Round 4???

I did.....minus giving Trengove a run.

I would also like to see Lewis kicking in after behinds majority of the time.
It was suprising post match last week he mentioned he hasn't before.

Agreed, wing or half forward only, also our disposal generally down back is a worry, early days but same disposal problems as previous seasons, and Melksham does not help.

I wasn't previously a fan of Melksham but after he blew the cobwebs out with a game and a half I thought he was pretty solid.
Expecting the same from Hibberd although I held him in higher regards than Melksham.

Pedersen ?

VDB has failed to make an impact in both games apart from some junktime goals in the last qtr. Surely has to come out. Liability with his foot skills

Good point although I would have put him in the "won't be fit to play until round 1".

I based it on ranking the team on the first 2 games in my opinion and dropping the bottom 4.
VDB probably scraped in on pressure at the football and "junktime goals" which are pretty valuable when you need goals to win a season.

Your last sentence, my thoughts exactly.

I would continue to start Hogan in the middle as well if the impact remains the same as today.

I loved Spencer's game, we should persist with two ruckmen.

VDB out. Watts in.

Would like to see Dom and Nev get a game too, if fit. Not sure who's spot they take. Maybe JKH, Johnno or Smith

Assuming no injuries from today.

We don't play Meth Coast for a fortnight, which is a further indication that we will take a strong side over there.  Watts, Kent, Jetta and Tyson sound as though they'll be fit and ready to go and you would expect all 4 to get back into the side.  Who makes way?  Players like Harmes, ANB, Johnstone, Bugg etc would all be ones looking over their shoulder, but none of them have necessarily done anything wrong.  Tough decisions will be made, but it's great that we have to make them.

9 H/O - 1 Kick - 0 Marks? I know stats aren't everything and I only watched the last third of the game. But what was it that impressed?

That he allowed Gawn to go and rest in the forward line for long periods.

It's ok for JLT but wont be worth the bench spot for season games.
