I think Aliir had poor preparation for the season. So maybe best to drop him for a week since he is still relatively young and inexperienced in a demanding position. Though it would have been nice to have another tall in the team possibly Laidler.
Grundy and Smith have had a poor start to the season but I think we need to back them to gradually get back into form. It is ridiculous people saying they should be retired immediately. It is only four games into the season.
Fox is injured. I think it is good to rest Florent given the opposition and he has played four games straight. Newman has done well but someone had to make way for returning players. People have mentioned leaving out Foote, Cunningham and Jack but they are different type of players. Also not sure how natural a defender Newman is, he may end up more of a midfielder.
I am not optimistic about winning. But it would be good to be competitive for the whole game, see players return and not give up on the season.
