Changes for 23 v the Cats

[longmile]

Out: Parker/McGlynn
In: Bolton.

Morton to start. We missed Bolton's hardness in the centre clearances and him as a forward target against Hawthorn

I just posted this in the game thread, but if LRT is injured, then I'm crossing my fingers and toes for Spangher to get a chance. I mean, we really need to roll the dice now and give someone like him a go before the finals, if only just in case.

And while I am a parker fan, he was probably the lesser of the hard mids, so IMO he'd be the one to go if Jude is right.

LRT wasn't injured. He was just being iced as probably happens after every game. He was subbed for being ineffective.

I cannot believe people are calling for Parker and mcglynn to be dropped. Just because they didn't have a great game they are the types of player you need in finals. Only change Bolton in if fit Morton out

I agree.

I just don't think Parker is experienced enough yet, and he showed that tonight. I would keep Parker if I had a choice but we need a strong forward like Morton in the team.

Don't see why you rate Morton so highly.

I just think he deserves a full game, its pretty hard to judge him or rate him for a quarters performance. He's a known goal scorer and has an X-factor. I'd just like to see him have a full game to see what he's capable of.

After the game Longmire said the dr. had Bolton ok for todays game. A big chance to play next week. LRT all right, no injuries.

Benny might not have got a lot of possession but his smothering and hardness at the ball to shut them down in the first, third & last was really telling. I wouldn't drop either of them.

Sadly Jett's doesn't deal well with being tagged. I love him and when he gets on a run it is breathtaking to watch but in the last few weeks he has been heavily tagged and shut down (and I'm ready to be yelled at by some as a result ) last night was lethargic and lazy. Now there have been posters in the past who have yelled from the rooftops if a player is out of form for a period of time then give him a spell. Maybe jetts should be rested for next week or made sub for the cats game so Morton can be on for the full game. It's just a thought.

Your spot on Wardy, being tagged was not his excuse last night, he was just plain lazy.
I think your sub plan is a good one.

IMHO Parker needs to be there. Firstly, because he will be an important component of the team going forward and the exposure will be invaluable. Secondly, I think that his game is really suited to finals and with a few big games under his belt that will show.
