Totally unexplainable and unacceptable leaving Campbell out and Wicks in.
What on earth are our selectors thinking? I would like them to give us an explanation but of course that will never happen.
I don’t like harping on the same old, but we are carrying a passenger in Wicks. He just doesn’t do enough and that stupid free he gave away was the dumbest thing I’ve seen in a long time. How Horse can overlook that is beyond me.
Yes, he kicked a goal- and Campbell got caught a few times- so what?
I’m really unhappy with this- I thought our selectors were better than make such a stupid decision.Comment

COR and Fox are back ups
Wicks is a spud, team balance is non existent when he is carried every week.
Floreant has been playing down back, so we can push Campbell up the ground.
How about we give the guy drafted as a ball winner a chance to play on the ball
Match committee is pathetic.
They gave Mills 100 games before he played as a mid, under the mantra he is good down back but elite mids can play anywhere, Gary Ablett Jnr could have been a great back pocket too.
Everyone analyst in football can see it, so can arm chairers.Comment

Wicks last 2weeks
16 possessions, 1goal, 4 tackles, 5 frees against
Got some pull with the selectors that kid
How is that reviewed by a competent person and still rewardedComment

A bit of a pile on over selection. I would’ve gone Campbell over Wicks too but can understand the reluctance to play Campbell in a new position this week especially after he only got 6 possessions himself last week. Unfortunately, I don’t think his tank is good enough to be playing mid yet either so it is forward or back until he can get at least another preseason into him.
I also reckon Fox is very underrated. I’m a fan. No star but will be doing the 1%ers long after everyone else is tired.
Wicks must be on notice. Any more brain fades and he must go.Comment

Based on the consensus on here about the selected team should I just cancel my flights and not bother turning up on Saturday night ? ????
Yeah nah call me a fool but I still think we can pull off an upset or at least give them a run for their money.
Logan to have a breakout game without Lance getting in his way.
Callum to run with Petracca and show why he is such a great all round talent and have the Victorian media finally acknowledge that.
Chad to slot a career high three goals and another 30 plus touches.
Isaac to turn the corner goal kicking wise as he spends more time in the forward line.
James to finally crack the 25 disposal threshold along with a sneaky goal.
We need the likes of Justin Ollie and Will to step up and show what they can deliver in what shapes up as a defining game for our season.
Win or run them close we play finals get beaten convincingly and even playing finals might become a challenge.
Bring it on!!Comment

I like the ins.
Looking forward to see how Amartey & Ladhams combine. Surprised Wicks is still in, but we are not privy to what is being asked to do.
Fox & COR in the same backline has always worked for usComment
-
So do I! I think our style and our best is a good match for them. Came close last year (lost by only 9) and won in 2020.
Right now I feel we're a bit behind where we were last season (although we were 7-4 then too), but I reckon if we're up and they're a bit down, anything can happen.Comment

Agree re Fox; the repellent our backline needs.
Yeah, a game against the premier is a tough game to try Campbell forward for the first time this year. Has he played a vfl game this year? I think he's generally been sub when he's been dropped, and he's a great sub. But perhaps they'll give him a full reserves game to find some ball and touch.
Big games needed in the forward half from Papley and Heeney.

It will be interesting to see what Amartey can do with his opportunity, will we see a 3 pronged ruck attack with Ladhams, Reid & Amartey?Comment

I suspect the Campbell decision has a lot to do with fitness. He’d have to play forward to compensate for this, and it’s tough to suddenly be asked to play a different role against the Premiers, who’ll be smarting after last week.
Nevertheless, I think we’ll give them a run for their money.

I just can't imagine both COR and Fox in our backline holding the Demons slick small forwards.Comment

It's all he did mate.....all match. He got 6 possessions in total. Fox is a good inclusion, he's a better 'defender' than Campbell. Braeden will probably be the sub....but needs to be given a full reserves game in the middle to find some touch. He's a tad unlucky but you can't select a player just because they kicked 'a real gem', ie: did one good thing.
On the other hand, Wicks must be thinking 'what do I have to do to be dropped....punch an opposing player?'Comment
