Changes for Rnd 8 V The Dees

[ShockOfHair]

Not often footy pundits get this personal. Mark McClure on the Sydney last week:

Their forward line was atrocious with Jesse White and Andrejs Everitt down there, neither are up to AFL standard. When you pick up the ball, are running down the field and see those two, you look for another option

Wow that is a bit mean... or I guess he is just saying the same thing as half the people on here

Who else votes TDL for sub?

No way. Give him a full game to impress. Maybe Parker or Hanners as sub.

The sub call isa very hard one, but I think it's about time we started an actual forward in the team

Ouch!

Did he catch the game? I don't think Jesse actually spent that much time actually in the forward line, so what was the excuse for the rest of the game?

[Bloody Hell]

I really am not trying to be argumentative here, I think it's a perfectly reasonably observation to make that Lewis has now twice been brought straight back into the seniors over Jesse (so clearly the coaches favour him in that role) and to be concerned about bringing in the (arguably) lesser ruckman as backup when we are giving our third choice starting ruckman, who is still working back from an injury, their first run of the season.

I agree. I thought White would get a bit of a run with Goodes out, but they seem to like to give him 1 or 2 games in the firsts then drop him for 3 or 4. Not great for his development. Yet Reid gets to play despite being ineffective for the past few months. I don't understand how LRT is an automatic selection over White. The other point is Clarke. LRT is the perfect match up for him in defence. I hope Grundy/Ted don't get touched up by him.

But in the end it's a moot point. If Pyke displays anywhere near the form he demonstrated prior to his injury - when Mummy returns he should have the forward/ruck spot.

I think LRT proved why he gets games ahead of White tonight.

Lewis played well, I was happily cheering him on- but I think even Paul Chambers might have got a touch or two in that game.

Fair point, my good fellow. But Lewis really knows where to put himself to get the ball, not sure if Chambers or White can do that regularly

[Melbourne_Blood]

To be fair to both Pyke and LRT, they rucked against Jamar and Clarke. Not exactly a Couple of slouches. The intensity of the game wasn't great but LRT especially looked really good in his role last night. If he can maintain that effort, White has no chance of getting a game again this year.

I must agree, LRT was great and I'm not his biggest fan.
