Out: Pears, Welsh, Winderlich
In: Davey, Laycock/Neagle, Howlett

Put McVeigh in a BP and leave him there, no good anywhere else, or maybe up forward, just not in the middle.

They've gotta' get games into Benny Howlett, Milkshake and Colyer. Especially now that finals are a no-go. All three have shown glimpses of class.... So Howlett in for Winderlich for mine. The Cock/Neagle in for Pears and Hurley plays down back.

In: Prismall, Howlett, Neagle or Laycock, Williams or Davey
Out: Take your pick. Pears obviously.

Nathan Lovett Murray undid all the good work my first batch of high blood pressure tablets did in reducing it.

He's 5% class 95% turnover/brain fart king.

The dawks will be keen to amend the result from rd 22 '09.
They are trash just now, maybe as much as our team.

What might we change for this game?

Pears is out. I see two options here.
1. Ryder to CHB, Laycock to the ruck. Give Ryder a challenge on Franklin. he seems to be missing something at the moment.
2. Hurley to full back, Neagle to full forward.

I'm torn between these two choices. Hurley didn't look so good down back yesterday, and I think he'll be more useful forward. However Neagle reportedly did well on Saturday, and maybe his reward is a senior game.

Paddy needs something, and Laycock allows us to exploit their lack of rucks. I think Hille needs to stay, and get senior miles in his knees.

Welsh/McVeigh/Melksham out for me. Though I expect it'll only be Melksham out for Howlett. Does Davey, Jetta or M. Williams get a go?

This task is almost F****** impossible.

If it was my say (and I recognize that nothing like this will happen):

In:
Daniher - to play Pears' position.
Houli - was dropped after 25 and 23 touches, at least he gets his hands on it and runs hard.
Howlett - ball magnet if fit.
Myers - to be played as a midfield tagger. They say he has the engine, so lets see it.
Prismall - surely his defensive sins are no worse than the rest of the team.
Neagle - got to work out of the boy can play or not.

Out:
Pears - injured
Winderlich - shown nothing all year. Maybe he's not fit.
Welsh - can't get his hands on it, too slow.
Slattery - I've finally turned against him after that insipid display yesterday.
McVeigh - not fit. Can play back pocket after he regains some leg speed.
Colyer - has been good but probably needs a bit of a rest - good chance to take it against the hard bodies of Hawthorn.

Anyone disagree?

Daniher is injured i think.....

Mark Williams will come back in to play his old side for sure. Bringin Laycock in will definately stretch the Hawks as they dont have any notable talls playing... this is probably the only reason Hille should play this week.

Davey and Prismall should be close to a recall...

Agree with most except for Myers and Houli.
Houli panics under-pressure, disposal is ordinary and is soft. At this rate, he can be our Vice-captain.
Myers has an engine (so does Stanton), but so does a Ford. And is probably as reliable as a ford as well.

I disagree that its a good idea to drop Welsh/Slattery/McVeigh and Winderlich all in the one week...those guys might not be playing good football, but I would be concerned about being too light on for experience.

I'd drop 2 maybe at a stretch 3 of them, but not all 4.

IMO your missing a pretty obvious in: debut Tyson Slattery - from all reports this is a must.
I also think Jetta and Davey should get looked at.

hes a good player...perhaps yesterday wasn't his best, but IMO he is still easily in our best 22.

That comment says more about our Best 22 than anything else.

I agree... Natrat busted his gut yesterday and got better as the game went on... yes he has the brain farts and undisciplined acts but at least he shows a bit of grunt and passion and is strong overhead.

Out: Pears, McVeigh, Welsh, H. Slattery, Dyson
In: T. Slattery, Neagle, Laycock, Williams, Howlett,

Would it be possible to play a tall forward line this week and kick it long to give them a F****** chance...

Im liking those changes.... a chance to really stretch the Hawks defence this week.

The major problems... who will stop Buddy and Cyril???

We don't have a match-up for either of them. We'll have to try and limit the delivery to them.

If Pears wasn't injured I think Hooker would have been dropped.

Ryder was rumoured to be a late withdrawal yesterday, so he could very well be not right. If he's even slightly crook he needs a wek off to fix his problem

Out: Remiers

Horrible performance. Who did he think he was, kicking the football when he had it. The nerve.
