    and if Rohan is ready then Hewett makes way. I like Georgie but he needs to play more than 1 quarter each week.
    Bingo. Wish we had Benny last night.

      He wasn't composed all game. His first handball put a teammate in trouble. He looked fearful when he had the ball.

        I also agree with aardvark's in's and out's.

        If Kennedy and/or McGlynn aren't fit, then I hope they'll still make 2 changes to replace Towers and Hiscox...

        They didn't loose us the game, but IMO they were our least effective players.

        Towers and Hiscox aren't about to turn it on against Hawthorn, or NM for that matter, they have to go in my view... No hardness, no pressure, no composure.

        Rose and BJ would offer much more, both with the ball and without it.
        Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT

            Drop Grundy?

            Unless there's an injury we don't know about you've got to be freaking joking....

                Once you drop Reg, Hiscox & Towers, there are few whipping boys left, the NEED Aliir in the side blame if we lose!

                  If Towers plays next week i will be astonished. If he isn't smart enough to ice the game from there after playing football for the majority of his life then he will never get it.

                  He also missed a number of tackles as per usual and 2 handballs missed the target to players that were through the press.
                  This isn't good enough.

                    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
                    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

                        JPK for Hiscox is obvious and McGlynn probably comes back in for Towers/Papley. But Mills out? That's an odd one.

                            I'll defend a few players here - you don't drop Ted or Grundy because of the occasional stuff up, they are both quality KPD, best we've got.

                            Mills and Hewett, both these guys are pure footballers with good footy brains, mostly good disposal and both slice through congestion. No way these guys are dropped, they are the future. Rose is another who is a footballer with brains.

                            Out this week, Hiscox (stupid selection decision) who is not even making much of an impact at NEAFL level, completely out of his depth, I thought he supposedly had pace but he showed none of it on Saturday. Towers, still fails to look up to the pressure at AFL level. Failure to spot Buddy is typical of his lack of vision, panics with ball in hand, forever fringe dweller IMO.

                            Only well tested types against Hawthorn, Kennedy if fit obviously, then McGlynn, then BJ who has been there before and in career best NEAFL form but didn't play NEAFL Saturday?

                                Agree that at least one of the first year players need to be rested. Maybe Papley this week and Mills Next week? Out : Towers, Hiscox, Papley In: Kennedy, Mcglynn and Rohan. Also have to think about resting Franklin. The amount of times he got an elbow to the back of the head on Saturday Night is a concern.
