Why? Pedo kicked 5 on the weekend. Our forward line don't kick goals. I'd rather see a youngster in the side like Spargo than players that are long in the tooth like Vince. Agree with Lewis I wouldn't mind seeing him dropped but the other 4 have to be dropped before him.
We won't have a best 22 to at least Viney comes back.
Hopefully we can put our strongest team on the park meaning Pedo, T.Mac, Fritsch, Spargo and Lewis replace Harmes, Stretch, ANB, Vince and Kent.
The Dees to win by 30 points.
Viney says we don't know our best 22 yet so I'll give it a stab.
B: LEVER, O.MCDONALD, JETTA
HB: HIBBERD, T.MCDONALD, HUNT
C : PETRACCA, OLIVER, JONES
HF: KENT, HOGAN, MELKSHAM
F: GARLETT, WEIDEMAN, PEDERSEN
FOLL: GAWN, TYSON, VINEY
IC: BRAYSHAW, SALEM, FRITSCH, SPARGO
Jumping the gun a bit with Spargo considering he hasn't played a game yet but I just can't bring myself to put in Vince, Lewis or Wagner in considering their form.
Thoughts?

I changed my side again. I promise it's the last time maybe.
I would seriously consider Spargo over Vince. Just read Big Footy and read that someone who watched a lot of Spargo thought he was a top 5 pick as a 16 year old until injuries hit. His form at VFL level has been good but not great like Pedersen. Hopefully Goodwin considers it because we can't afford to play both Lewis and Vince in the same side for much longer.
I would definitely drop Harmes for my man T.Mac.
He was good against North as well. We talk about lack of leg speed and we want to drop Garlett doesn't make sense to me when so many others should be dropped before him.
Stretch isn't quick I don't know why people say is, he is about as useful as JKH.
Is Spargo quick I though Old dee said he wasn't. Baker is quick but his form hasn't been great. Hannan is the same.
We have never been a quick side and we still beat them at Etihad last year. Leg speed is overrated ball use speed is the key.
Am I the only 1 that thinks T.Mac is needed down back our backline is a shambles. He plays key back with his brother and Lever goes up as the 3rd man and tell clowns like Wagner to stay down. Better than having a spud like Frost key back.
