    Changes for Rnd.18 V Carlton

    Couldn't wait so here goes.

    Benny out permanently; never to be played again.

    No tank, no legs speed, no skills.

    Rose in.

    And since its Carlton, whose young players are tiring quickly, lets blood another young player.

    Would like to see Abe Davis in, Towers out.

    Towers only plays well after he has being drop to the seconds.
    doof-doof

    As much as I like Benny I agree he has to go. Showed nothing last night.
    The difference between Tower's good games and bad games are too extreme. He's had many many chances but just not consistent. Freezes under pressure

    Out: Jones (injured), McGlynn, and Towers
    In: Cunningham, Davis, Heeney

    Richards will need to move down back

    OUT: Sweet bloody caroline
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

    Yep I agree Ugg. We know Jones needs to be replaced, but surely McGlynn's spot is on the line, and arguably one or two other should be under the pump as well.

    What to do with Ted will be the interesting one for mine.

    He was ineffective last night as the defensive forward.

    He doesn't put on enough pressure, and on multiple occasions led his opponent to marking contests when he should of been going the other way.

    He needs to either go back to defence, or out of the side.

    I thought Allir Allir was excellent last night and should definitely hold his spot.

    Yep I think the Ted experiment, as well as it worked against Geelong, failed pretty miserably last night. The lack of pressure he can apply was really noticeable, and good teams are going to punish us through that. I don't know who would come in, but we are going to have to make a tough call sooner rather than later.

    Only obvious change is Zak Jones out (I'd say he is done for the season, it looked nasty) and Laidler in - I'd argue Harry Marsh would be a better fit into the back 6 mix at the current time, but he will need a week or two in ressies (interesting to see if he plays this weekend) to get going after a few weeks off.

    Marsh hasn't been named for the reserves

    Real shame about Jones, his drive off halfback while sometimes wayward has been inspiring and game lifting at times

    Bugger - his couple of weeks is turning into much longer, like so many of our injuries in recent seasons.

    Agree about Ted. Contributed nothing last night so he should play in defence or if not there, in the reserves.

    Out : Benny, Towers, Jones (injured)

    In: Heaney, Ladler, Cunningham (if he plays well in the NEAFL)
