Sam Reid can't kick a goal to save himself so he can go back to CHB and mark up Jeremy Cameron. Aliir to Himmelberg and Rampe free to play the exit player.
KJ and Ronke need to be dropped with Rose to come in
Mills to the mids and COR coming in to the defence.
Franklin and McCartin as the key forwards with Buddy playing up the ground a bit.
out: KJ, Ronke
in: COR, Rose
Agree with others that JPK and Parker should not be in the centre at the same time. They can alternate between centre and forward.
I can't find a place for Melican at this point.
Rampe Reid Cunningham
COR Aliir Lloyd
Florent Kennedy Jones
Sinclair Heeney Parker
Papley Franklin Rose
Hewett McCartin Rowbottom
Mills, Thurlow, Clarke,
Like this a lot. Doubt it will happen though. Mills and Reid will stay where they are. Jack and Ronke will no doubt retain their positions. COR and Rose will stay put too.
Here's hoping for something to shift either with the playing group and the coaching / selections. Come on Bloods
Longmire presser notes:
- asked about Reid: deflected questions he'd move to defence; noted he has been dropping easy marks
- asked about Melican: suggested he had been good in the reserves the last two weeks; indicated he didn't play last week due to match-ups, but could this week with more talls in the opposition's forward line
- asked about injured players: indicated that McVeigh, Grundy and Smith are still 'a number of weeks away' and that they aren't training; Hayward trained really well today, he loves Hayward's enthusiasm, Hayward is trying to get a helmet fitted; Menzel is looking 'quite good' at training, but won't play this week as he builds fitness
- asked about Blakey: demoted to reserves to find some confidence and ball; indicated he was quite good in the reserves (but did not suggest he may be back this week)
- noted, without prompting, that Dawson and Florent have been good.
Melican, Blakey
For
Jack, Ronke
Makes for a very tall team
Emg Rose Cameron O’Riordan Ronke
GWS Corr Greene for Buntine Hately
Emg Hately Buntine Simpson Cumming
But neither are slow. And it's needed back, as Rampe can't play on Greene and Cameron. I would prefer him on Greene - let's not muck around with a smaller defender who will get beaten. Aliir on Himmelberg, Melican on Cameron. Mills on de Boer.
We're going to have to win the midfield. Ha.
Can't have Melican at all. He will be carved up by Cameron. Slow and has lost the ability to read the play.
Let's hope our mids turn it on and the ball sits in our forward half for the majority of the game. I think those changes are good. Would like to see COR and Rose rewarded though.
