    How about:

    OUT: Kennelly, Jetta, Meredith (just not good enough)
    IN: Malceski, Gordon, Bevo
    Bevo has grown on me because of his work rate but agree, only play him in the forwards.

    Do you think Gaz needs another run in the Reserves??

      I like.

      The Ginger ninja is going to need another run I'd have thought.

        Yep, reckon this is a good call.
        I've never been a fan of Meredith and he has always appeared to me as a player with very little heart - perhaps he was contageous on Sunday

          Totally disagree. You can teach a player to go harder at the contest. But you can't stop poorly skilled players from making shocking, game losing decisions and shocking, game losing skill executions. We tried with Bevo for 8 years or so.

            Yes, but he was always played down back. He is more of a forward so his mistakes are not as crucial.

              Man, you make good sense here.

              One of the tensions that Horse has is not to change the team too much every week or else they players wont gel. Having said that, if we arent going to make the finals (we will see in a week), then he should give the young guys some games and see who sinks and who swims.

                  Short, selective memories.

                  Was floated as a trade, but no one wanted him, there's a reason.

                    No, no, no! Keep Meredith! Bring back Gaz and Mal and Nipper. Drop Tadhg, McGlynn, and... don't know - Jets I think.

                          Don't be so dismissive and patronising. We have him, we are paying him. 12months ago he more than helped us past round 1 of the finals. There's underperfomers in the 1's. He has been an emergency for a few weeks, so he is close.

                          If your not best 22 on current form then make way! Current team form says there is room for improvement!

                            Would we have to bring back Connolly?

                              goes without saying!!! I do miss Connolly, he made me laugh.
                              I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

                                Actually, that's TOTALLY incorrect. You can teach a player skills, you CAN"T teach heart and hardness.
