We aren't making a heap of changes.  We played three quarters and nearly won the game. Likely that Grundy or Brown come in for JVR and Jordon or Harmes for Gus and the one who misses out will take Laurie's sub spot.  It is possible if we play Carlton that Tomlinson might come in for McKay, in which case Hibbo or Salem comes out.

We have to play another tall defender next week. Both Carlton and Sydney have good key position talls. 

If anyone should be dropped out of the backline to make way it’s Salem. Completely ineffective again. Hibbo was very very good on Elliot. He gives you everything.

JVR will probably go. That leaves Grundy or fresh air. 
Gus will need to be replaced by JJ as he’s the most like for like. Harmes is a big no for me. 
Laurie or Woewodin to sub. At this point it’s shuffling the deck chairs on our Titanic cursed forwardline.

Agree. Love the bloke. He can play until he’s 40. He just tries his guts out.

We need 3 kpd. 

Salem to be forward. Been trash for weeks. Maybe try as Melksham type.

That's quite obvious with your c..p selections.

Please go back drinking and don't embarrass yourself with such ridiculous selections with not an ounce of common sense or footy logic.

Between him and Grundy I reckon. May come down to which of them is less on the nose in the eyes of the match committee.  I'd go with Grundy as I think he'd have more of a crack and is a far better player, but as we've had drummed into us he's no forward, so creates structural issues. U

In a parallel universe we have Petty and Melk playing and we're in a Prelim right now.

Um you do realise his changes are pretty much forced changes?

Not sure if you paid any attention but Brayshaw will miss and JVR may also with a suspension. His

Out: JVR, Brayshaw, Langdon, McDonald 

In: Grundy, Tomlinson, Woewodin, Schache

Woewodin to the wing.

Not a fan of Schache but at least his turnaround game doesn't take him on a full orbit of the sun.

Grundy has to play. Coaching misstep not to play him last night.

Tomlinson fills the Brayshaw hole. Petracca floats forward way more.

Langdon was Hollywood last night and played like a schoolboy. He plays unaccountable football and I'm sick of it. Sidebottom schooled him every time.

I don’t get why people think JVR will get suspended that sort of clash happens dozens of times in a final like this - no malice , elbow not high, don’t think he even hit him directly in the head , no injury 

Compare that with Maynard who according to some people has no case to answer

JVRs crime is being too inexperienced to make it look like an accidental footy act.

Bring it on. We'll be ready. 

Petracca to play more forward and JJ to come in. If Roo gets week I'm backing Grundy unless BBB is 100%

I think it has to be Grundy too through lack of options. Schache doesn't have it in him and BBB is pretty much done.

His elbow seemed to clip his jaw on the replay. I'll be surprised if he doesn't get a week.

Elliott could have had 2-3 goals in the first quarter alone.  It wasn't until he injured his ankle (slowing him down) that Hibberd came close to quelling him. Plus his (Elliott's) supply dried up in the second half.

I was really surprised Elliot missed those shots they were absolute gimme's. We could have been down by a lot more at quarter time.

Our best football is 3 tall backs (freeing up Lever to intercept).  When only playing 2, Lever can get out marked, even May might lose a couple.

3rd tall defender options are Turner, Smith, Thomo or Tmac. Petty is injured, Hibberd is not a tall.

I'd go with Smith as we need speed as well; the pies exposed our backs lack of pace and the other teams will have noticed.

If we get past next week, a likely match up with the lions will see Cameron twice as dangerous as Bobby Hill.

In - Grundy, Tomlinson, Jordon

Out - JVR (susp), Salem, Brayshaw, Laurie 

Grundy to be a direct replacement for JVR. The Gawn/Grundy combo has partially worked in some of our early-mid season dry weather games. The very long range forecast has Friday night as a warm dry night.

Tomlinson as an obvious in for Harry McKay (sorry I’m convinced Carlton are winning tonight)

Salem dropped. Harsh call but he’s statistically a bottom 60 player and has played like that the last 2 weeks. What has happened to that class act who was good for 20 quality disposals a game?

JJ a direct replacement for Brayshaw, albeit certainly not an upgrade.

Laurie to again be sub, or worse dropped outright. What other sub options from we have? Spargo?

Or does Spargo replace Chandler, and Chandler is sub?

Agree with all that. I too have no idea who the sub should be. Woewodin? Maybe Spargo in for Chandler as sub as you say. 
Unfortunately the forwardline will remain an issue and without JVR it will lack even more pack splitting power.

Salem definitely should be dropped. The game has well and truly passed him by unfortunately.

KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o
