    I'm none too confident he'd get the better of Taylor or Scarlett.
    They all get a rest this week.

      Why are people not a fan of mal anymore? hes been brilliant for us over his career and just needs his confidence and form back.
      LRT. Lord Roberts-Thompson. He may look like the Munster, but looks can be deceiving.

              Sammy needs to play well and learn as he goes. It will do nothing for him to go to the ressies and play on a fence post. He has to learn how to beat good opponents, because he's going to get the best defenders week in week out. If u mean rest him, we have the bye

                In - Goodes, McGlynn

                Out - Malceski, Everitt

                Andrejs played pretty well tonight but it's just a case of "last in, first out" I'd say

                  Mal might HAVE been brilliant but sadly he's not now. We have a real chance of making top 4 and to be honest he isn't up to speed now. We don't have luxury of giving older players time to regain lost form and confidence, the comp is just too close. Also, when Mal is on the field Rhyce Shaw's run on opportunities are limited. When Mal isn't on Shaw generally is on fire (like he has been in the last couple of weeks) You can't keep Mal on just because he played well a year or so ago. It happens team structures change some players move with the changes successfully others don't. Just an observation.
                  I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

                    Yes, Everitt played his part last night, but unfortunately someone has to make way for Goodes. And anyway, if they gave Goodes another week (which wouldn't be a surprise), Everitt would be better for the run. Win-win.

                      You bag LRT and then come out with this. Hypocritical.

                              Next game -
                              IN: McGlynn, Goodes
                              OUT: Malceski, Everitt

                              That's the easy bit. Getting Parker and Spangher in will be more difficult. Once Mummy is up to speed (and Goodes is back and can play out of FF) I imagine a forward, probably Spangher, will come in for Pyke and LRT will play second ruck/forward. But who will Parker come in for? Armstrong must stay in the team now, clearly. TDL is neat and intelligent, but his modest output keeps his place under threat. Is Parker a replacement for him, with him/JPK/McGlynn/Bolton to rotate through his spot.

                              Eventually -
                              IN: Parker, Spangher/Morton
                              OUT: TDL, Pyke

                                The reality is that Parker is a couple of months away from returning (sadly - I think we missed his vigour and good ball use in traffic yesterday) and anything can happen with injuries and form between now and then.

                                We've got a pretty good hard-at-it midfield crew at the moment but we don't have a huge amount of depth in that department. I grimaced when Hanners was taken off looking generally out of sorts, and was very relieved when it turned out "only" to be concussion. There is a chance Mitchell might get himself fit enough to come in and get a couple of games experience before Parker is ready to resume, but other than that, we don't have much in the way of AFL-ready onballers running around in the twos at the moment.

                                The versatility of both Jude and especially O'Keefe to come into the middle, or alternatively to spend time in other roles is a definite plus because it means the team looks balanced with different mixes of available players. I also think it is a huge credit to both of them that they are adapting to playing less time in the middle - where for the last few seasons ROK has been a mainstay (and Jude for his whole career) - as they move towards the end of their careers and others, like Parker and JPK are taking over.
