Barry Hall should have a rest too. we've got plenty of cover up forward. Vogels and Mick can both cover for him, and out-scored him last week. A run in the twos might help his kicking accuracy.

Sometimes your signature is a little bit too close to the mark!

Looks like we just accept that Leo Barry is our Full-back.

Looks like The Hyphen will play on Riewoldt!

With Goodes and Vogels going to get a lot of time in the forward line we should be pretty potent.

I think C Bolton will get the job.

Wouldn't mind see LRT of Reiwoldt.

The position that Hall is playing is not so much demanding. Goodes position on the other hand is. He covers so much ground and has to physically contest strong and taller bodies. I noticed that Goodes was often a spent-force toward the end of the season in the last few years. May be giving him a chance to rest now, will help us (with the lady luck on the side) in the final, if we get there. Most soccer teams in Europe today do rest important players at time due to the hectic schedule they are getting.

I don't see why Schauble should not be playing. If Willo and Ball are in - that's super! We can win, we have the team.

Andrew Ericksen, who's a 204cm ruckman

He certainly is!! He followed me up the escalator to the AM last week (along with Schneider). Even standing a step below me he still towered over me (I'm 180cm)

According to Ch 10 news - Ball, Williams and Schneider in for Moore, Dempster and Saddington.

His initials aren't LRT. I think Dempster has done alright, hasn't been outstanding but hasn't been thoroughly beaten by any of his opponents so far.

[NMWBloods]

Dempster has been okay, has had plenty of the ball, and, most importantly, actually looks like he can play.

[Schneiderman]

Roos said recently that he dropped Schneider and McVeigh recently because they are part of his future. He didn't want to let them get used to being in the side without having to work for it.

I assume Dempster and Moore are in the same boat, so this is really just a rotational policy at work. Schneider deserves a go I think, and Dempster and Moore can have a rest. In truth neither are critical to our success, so you may as well rotate them out.

EDIT: Cant believe that Bevan has hung in there though! Would prefer to Spriggs to him at the moment... at least he's fitter and faster.

[OldE]

I can't believe I'm going all the way to ^&$*ing Melbourne and won't get to see Sean's pout.

Very, very disappointed.

[dimelb]

If there's a rotation policy, OK. But I'd like to see Moore especially get a bit more time, and Bevan and Buchanan being in the rotation mix. They strike me as a couple of players who could get back a bit of confidence and form in the twos.

Please pay attention to the game. He hasnt had plenty of the ball, he hasnt even had enough of the ball. But he does look like he can play.
Good future ahead of him I think, but not in our best 22 yet.

I think these are too many changes for a side thats won 3 straight.

Although Buchannon couldnt hit a barn from 20 metres out, I still like him over Schneider at the moment.

Yes this is correct if you are talking about the Australian Cricket Team, or the Brazilian Soccer Team.

As it is, not one of those players were critical to our success, and their absence just ensures we have a team that grows in experience together. Rather than a select few getting all of the opportunities.
