    If correct, it gives everyone another opportunity to watch Blakey and McCartin working in tandem

      Now that's what I call better times coming!
      He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

        Unlike others I haven't written off Clarke, however I'd still like to see him spend a month in the NEAFL racking up the numbers and gaining confidence before bringing him back. As an aside I'm astounded that he's got this far through the system without being able to handball properly!!!

        My changes for this week:

        In: Rose
        Out: Jack

        Predicted changes:

        No Change
        Agree all round.

        It's time to give Rose a decent go at it....3 - 4 games minimum.
        Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT

          And as a midfielder, not hiding in the forward pocket.

            Rose has got a great skill set. He's fast, has a beautiful boot and a full kit bag of tricks. If he could somehow improve his decision making and overall attention span, he could be amazing.

                    Nah. "Didn't come up" according to Longmire. Interestingly he was vague about what he didn't come up from. I guess it is the lingering effects of the head knock but the club is in a difficult position if they acknowledge that, given he went back on the ground.

                      Sounds like an easy, media free, way to slide Jack out of the team....Happy with that.

                      I really hope Rose is given a decent go it over the coming weeks.

                      Having said that, I'm a big Rowbottom fan...IMO he's going to be a midfield gem, so getting some early games into him is an excellent outcome.

                      As an aside...The weather forecast for Hobart is fabulous...18º, partly cloudy , light winds

                        I quite like that team. I think that Rowbottom can definitely handle the promotion. Also it's nice to have some stability. Especially after a win; as confidence should be up, which hopefully will translate into better combinations and skills.

                          Gold Passes out, youth in. It's what we should be doing in this "transition" year, happy with that.

                          NEAFL bye so can take a few emergencies, just in case.....

                            It's a very mysterious injury given that Horse was adamant after the game that Kizza wasn't concussed and passed the test. But a convenient one, and I don't think there will be a lot of objections that he's not playing on Saturday.

                            Good to see Rowbottom in, this would have to make us the youngest side again on the weekend.

                                To be fair, passing a concussion test performed shortly after the incident doesn't preclude him later showing signs of concussion. As is often reported, concussion is not always immediately apparent. You have to wonder if anyone noticed his output disappeared after a very productive opening quarter and thought to reconfirm whether he was affected by the knock. I guess you have to give them the benefit of the doubt that the medics continued to monitor his obvious signs of well-being, even after he passed the initial test. And the coaches were likely too preoccupied with the tight contest to have time to wonder.
