Team v Kangaroos

Agreed.......plus everyone saying bring in Frawley like he is some great white hope!

More to the point, Frawley is being touted as a key back when he's still only 82kg. That's the same mass as Greeny but the young bloke's 9cm taller. He's thinner than Fergs ever was, to put things in perspective.

I thought Ward was just going, but wasn't our worst. I'd drop him for the simple reason he can't be the future of the club. Simple as that.

Also, I can see where you're coming from with Dunn. But surely we must persevere with him. He may not have owned a game yet, but he's certainly showing encouraging signs, and some impressive flashes.

I really hope that Bell makes it as a footballer but the more I see him the more unlikely it seems. Makes too many mistakes and a total lack of vision.

Moving right along...

Ferg, Miller, Brown and Ward SHOULD be dropped. But I've lost all confidence in anyone at MFC doing the right thing there.

Robbo and Rivers if he's fit and montys to return. But from there I get confused... they're not a tall side the Roos, so what do we do? Put in a couple of talls to expose them? Or make sure our running defenders are bolstered?

I'm of the opinion this is really one we can win, and if you CAN put Juice in, now is the time against a side that, while they're in good form, are NOT a great list and have one or two injury exposures.

So, assuming McLean is fit I'd LOVE to see him in the side, but from what I hear he may need to play 2 out of 4 quarters, or maybe 3 before he can be relied upon for the full four. As good as he is, I don't think we can afford to carry him in that way. So have him run around at Sandy (if it's good enough for Robbo, it's good enough for Brock), and look on it as a positive step.

Frawley could come in, as he's had his go at Sandy. While I'm sure he could use one more week, we DO need quality talls, even if they're a bit young.

So for me it's Rivers, Robbo, Newton and Frawley... Miller and Juice to play through CHF, Neitz and Robbo deep, and Dunn on the wing or on the back flank. Juice has a big engine, and we'll lose little in terms of pace.

Honestly though, I doubt Neale will go with 5 big tall forwards, so it's not gonna happen. Brock probably WILL play as he's shown he can bounce back from injury, and play a blinder.

In other news, I'm looking forward to Beamer and Bartram getting games before too long. They'll be VERY important when they return.

In: McLean, Robertson, Rivers

Out: Ferguson, Miller, Brown

Obvious and good ins

Miller should be dropped. He is almost the anti-frontrunner if that makes sense. Only plays well when we are doing crap. When I mean he plays well I mean he works hard and takes marks but they are up the field anyay and are meaningless. Ferguson will be delisted at seasons end as will Brown. Ward is doing enough to keep his spot, I dont mind him. Put Bate at CHF
