a journalist friend of mine said 'you paid high for one to get the other for cheap'

getting em for 2x 2nd round picks was outstanding recruiting

Well i got that totally wrong on Melksham. Surprised, but in King I trust. He'll probably kick a bag.

It's terrific that Turner is ready to come back in after just the one game.

Just two changes is another big positive.

Turner and McDonald together is interesting we have a tall backline if they all play there or is there a chance Disco might go forward?

Of the emergencies, Laurie is the only possible replacement for Fritsch. We couldn't possibly go taller

And Trent Rivers hasn’t been named in either side so he must be carrying a worse injury than mentioned “ grumbling knee”. 😳👍

Disco might go forward if there’s a very late out.

A Gnostic Gospel perhaps

Whats the basis of the speculation around fritsch?

Hope we put in a stronger showing than we did against the dockers. Not the worst time to play the suns tbh

Kentfield in if Fritter goes out?

Or maybe Laurie, with Melk covering Friiters role?

Turner and Melksham made the cut.

Melksham a logical replacement for Cross given the low amount of minutes Cross played last week.

And Cross jumped at a surprising number of packs to contest marks and bring it to ground. That's Melk's go too

Laurie, given we're playing all of McDonald, Lever, Petty, Disco - Disco can go fwd

Thankyou

Sometimes we need one of these

Am I living in a bygone era or are there fines for taking a player out of the team that you list on the ground? Was that ever a thing?

Didn’t think we’d see Turner, Petty, Lever and TMac in the same side this year, but there we go.

On paper I like the ins.

But those players need to start well on sunday

Hmmm.

Apocryphal!

If ever there was a week to play the 4 tall defenders it would be this week.

King, Read and to a lesser extent Walter are very tall forwards with high upside. It will definitely allow Petty to be the back up ruck this week and allow JVR to focus as a full time forward. Just like the round 1 win.

And it also gives us flexibility to throw Turner or Petty forward mid game if needed.

I thought everyone would be happy to see that some things can be kept under wraps. Remember when specifics of a player’s injury were “leaked” to the media and the big question was who’s the mole?
