There is an obvious "in" on form for this week...which I missed in my list of possible KP reserves...surely Henry Playfair is gonna be better at CHB than Teddy...then we don't have to worry about his dodgy kicking for goal! Played at CHB for the reserves at the weekend and in the best so......
If you want an ordinary footabller at CHB then sure, give him a go.

Anyone suggesting we drop Smith obviously hasn't been watching him play. Barlow will go, the other two will depend on the matchups the club wants but Richards was brought in for B2 and he's still not fit so he may get a reprieve, although I doubt it. I suspect Smith is now playing that role instead.
The third change is a lottery but I'd be disappointed to see Rohan left out after just the one game. He had a go at least.
I hate excuses like this. People have been offering up the same ones for Turnover Ted since he arrived at the club. He's not good enough to play on the best forwards, not a KPP and yesterday showed he was too slow. The fact the J-Pod kept getting onto his left to snap goals was also damning of our defenders' footy smarts including Ted.
The fact Ted's best position is playing as a loose man in defence doesn't reflect well on his abilities or his future at the club. If we have the luxury of playing a loose man it should be someone who uses the ball infinitely better than Ted.
Excruciatingly bad. But Grundy made the same mistake. And Mattner let Ablett play on twice after marking. It was under 12s footy all day long.
Rohan has to play. Had very little opportunity, got smashed in the first ten minutes and even the commentators said he should have got 2 frees from 2 consecutive incidents and laid 5 tackles. What we need to lift the intensity. They smashed us yesterday with tackling, while we pussy footed around. The only big crucnh was from the Mummy who did a great job on Ablett, legal, fair and hard. The bald headed one did not like it and in future a bit more of that, early in a game may well slow him down. Not sure who played on Bartel yesterday, but whoever deserves some kudos,as he had little impact. That said, LRT in for Barlow, would be doubtful about Hanners, so probably Jetta/Teddy for McGlynn. Its also time to see if Bevan has improved, if a third change is needed.
play Pyke in defence and bring in Currie to the ruck
You have got to be kidding! I thought Pyke did a fine job backing up Mummy IN THE RUCK, that is where he is needed and should stay, and anyone that thinks Curry is up to senior football at the moment is clueless - I like the kid and think he has what it takes, but he has NO CONFIDENCE IN HIS DECISION MAKING at all and anyone who watches the ressies will support this.

At the end of last year I stood up and said that if I were in charge I would actually de-list Teddy....got howled down, didn't I....mmmmm
Ted is a utility, not a KPP and was shown up as such yesterday.
It must have killed you having to wait for a week to say "He's hopeless, I told you so"!

Playfair has been playing in the ressies. Is he worse than Barlow or Richards?
I detest Barlow as a footballer but he definitely deserved a call up before Henry.
We are lucky Pyke has hit his straps just when we need him. For all those saying he could not pick up the game so fast he did things against Geelong that showed more football savvy than guys who have played the game since kindergarten. Playfair? Nice guy taking care of the reserves.Lets leave it there.I also have not been a Teddy fan but have always admired his courage thats why I was so disturbed when he took his eye off the ball to jump over a player on the ground rather than plough into him,eyes on the ball. It was so embarasing when Ponts kicked the resultant goal. You would grill an under 12 kid for doing that.
Any change must be backed by merit,otherwise no point in making it. I have a feeling Ted will keep his spot because Ponts didn't kick 10 ! I personally wouldn't mind seeing Bevan come back and have a go in the forwards,definately like to see O'Dwyer too and maybe Vespa too if Hanners is not back yet. Its obvious who should go!
I don't think the side would lose anything if White, Jetta, Moore, Richards or Barlow were to go.
Ouch......
Can't agree. Moore has been great all year. White is a bit off but getting there. Jetta is about a bee's dick away from blowing them off the park since game 1. Barlow and Richards I tend to agree with you......
Roos says LRT, Hanners and McGlynn Likely, Rooster likely to stay, so Barlow and ? & ?
