Well...very ordinary performance from a lot of players but we can't drop them all. I thought the team we selected this week was the right one at the time but as others have noted, perhaps the soft draw leading into finals probably flattered a few players form.
The Crows will come to play no doubt and have a strong forward line and skillful midfield that will test us! I would hope we will put in a much harder and determined performance after the bitterly disappointing effort today. We usually bounce back well after poor performances so here's hoping!
So for the changes. One forced at least with sadly Mills being out. I would hope that the others who looked hurt at certain stages being Kennedy and Tippett will be right. Tippett especially needs a big game as he's been ordinary at best since returning. Hopefully being up against his old side will give him extra motivation!
What I would go with, and this is obviously pending these players get through the ressies grand final tomorrow unscathed and in good form:
Out: Mills, McGlynn.
In: Jones, Towers.
Other options could no doubt be Cunningham and Laidler to come in instead of Jones but he had good form off half back before he got hurt so deserves another chance. McGlynn sadly should have played his last game for mine. Towers has his haters on here but his previous finals form last year was sound and really wasn't playing that badly before being dropped late in the year.
As I said earlier, plenty more could be dropped on todays form but we can't, nor should we drop too many as we really need a more settled lineup this time of year.
