Or, at the very least, spend more time there.  Not a bad option if you ask me.

Hopefully to bring it to ground for Bedford, Kozzie, etc. His set shots are a worry.

7 changes

Oh dear

Building ‘cohesion’ as the coach puts it. ?

[DeeZee 7,445]

I love most of the ins, but dropping Brown who has been our best marking target the last 2 weeks is a bit strange.

I think they picked Preuss to reall try and stretch the Oppo by having he and Gawn rotate deep.

Brown was horrible against the swans

How is Smith still in the team?!

[chook fowler 19,533]

Melksham is a protected species it seems.

[dl4e 5,851]

We blew our chances against sydney so how many changes are irrelevent. Good to see some pace but why is ANB playing along with Smith. Why is lockhart still out ? Same with Bennell.

Love the changes this week, a real Hail Mary if ever there was one!!!

May fortune favor the brave and Preuss kick 5 goals playing out of the goal square!

Go you good things!

Goodwin's mate.

[DeeZone 10,101]

Absolutely love these changes but can't help thinking it may be a week to late. Still I have wanted to see some real pace in our side and finally it has been delivered. Now boy's don't let this opportunity slip, get out there and run them off their feet.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What’s the go with Dunkley? He’s not mentioned in the injury report or the scratch matches.

His intensity is a worry but he seems to be the only one who can hit a target in the fwd line

Clearly Max is going to play a lot of the game up forward. 

Or Preuss, he’s a much better kick and Max is a much better ruck (when he actually hits it to our blokes)

Bennell is really on the outer.

Why, we were lucky to get any games out him of this year,  they need to get him right for the long term.

That would have to be Smith surely. No Lockhart or Jetta again, unbelievable.

Appears that way plus Smith must his fav also. Those 2 should have been dropped also along with Fritter and ANB very lucky. It is basically our last chance so just hope this team gets going and wins well and then see what happens against GWS

A perfect fit then.

[Flower Magic 776]

Still the worst forward line in the AFL. Re-arranging the deckchairs on the Titanic. Hope I'm wrong.

Maybe Max will kick a couple, although he'll need about six shots. Which might be what I'll need if we lose again.

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,233]

The changes finally will bring some outside dash. I dont mind trialling the two rucks when we dont have another key forward nailing the second spot. At minimum it will remove the focus of double teaming Weid. Melksham surely on notice. I assume he will play midfield time with AVB to cover the loss of Brayshaw in particular.

Best of luck to Baker and Bedford who I think can give more of what we need with a clear go at it.

We are living in strange times.

Who even keeps track of what day it is?

No McDonald. 

Very interesting.

These condensed fixtures have made it even harder to keep track of time.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Finally a team with a bit of run. No pressure lads, but there is no time to adjust or build form, just need to hit the ground running.
