How many coconuts could they carry?

Our Sparrow seems to have a couple of big coconuts on him.

With Fritsch out.

I wonder do they bring in a tall like Mitch Brown?

Or perhaps just go with Sparrow as the replacement and play Melksham deeper (I think this the most likely). 

Yes perfect replacement

Give him a go!!

Petty for May seems obvious from a structural perspective. 

Fritsch is a tough player to replace and we could go a number of different ways. Mitch Brown or Chandler could come in, or Sparrow just comes into the 22 and we replace the sub. One option could be to switch Hunt forward this week and include Hibberd.

I'd like to see us keep the same structure we have been running with (think tigers, one out and replace with a similar "soldier" lol), so May will be back and hes a tall, so replace with a tall = Petty. That way tomilson and lever can play their same roles, rather than one going to main tall etc. when first 4 rounds didn't play it.

I'd also avoid moving a player from back to forward for this same reason (i.e. Hunt from back forward). But less sure on Fritsch replacement (hearing people say brown because of his leading patterns, so guess go with that and will give us an insight to other Brown being back as an extra tall.

In: Petty, Hibberd

Hunt to play Fritsch’s role.

M Brown kicked 3 in the Casey v Willy game.

why would Jordon only be given 56% game time. That's crazy.  If you're going to limit him to such low minutes it just throws extra strain on 21 other players. Play him at least 75% or play him in the vfl

yeah, only heard that after i'd speculated

of course, even a non-appearance as a med sub counts as a game played, so...

you'd think the med sub will be one of jordon / sparrow / melksham / jones or potentially rivers, although i am loathe to change the back 7 too much when we're already losing may

Watching the start of the Richmond/Saints game makes me think we need to have the height of Petty in the game this week to settle him into the structure for next week.

Sensible, probable, appropriate.

For Jordan, it is his time to shine - he's got the goods.

Potential ins????

This is how I would tackle the loss of Fritta and May. But, I would add Petty to the mix, decrease the smalls by one 'utility' type, continue to use Jackson across the fwd line as a utility and ruck chop out with Gawn, and Daw up front/back and flanking ruck.

MBrown in as ffwd.

Jordan and Chandler - or Bedford - across the ground from the bench.

I'm guilty of both these errors, but which is worse? Jordan for Jordon? or Swallow for Sparrow?

Cam Pedersen was still being called Pederson 6 years in to his career here. I got so sick of it that I added the word Pederson to the swear filter and made the software replace it with [Pedersen]. @Demonlandfound it and took it out though. :(

Yes, reading the tea leaves it sounds like there will only be one change to our 23 from last week with May and Fritter out and our 23rd man Sparrow automatically in because we don't want to alter a winning line up. That means one of Petty or Hibberd is in as are Jetta and Jordon, who have barely touched it but have played a role in the first four weeks.

It should be noted that the Dogs continue to make changes and drop players, even though they have been winning - just ask their vice-captain Mitch Wallis. Similarly Sydney brought in Buddy the other week, despite all the wins. But because it's such a shock to our system to actually win each week, our match committee is having a drunken orgy and has decided to just leave things how they are - and just have faith in  the boys that did the job the previous week.

So actually looking at ways to best cover losing our best left-foot defender and our best left-foot forward are irrelevant until we lose or we get another injury.

The bloke was our worst player last week and his attempted banana from 15 metres out was indicative of where he is at. 

If you think Melksham was our worst player last week, you've got a mighty prejudice against him which is seriously clouding your judgement.

(I'm trying to be polite with my criticism.)

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
