I hope your just being sarcastic bit I fear not. RB had 22 disposals, 8 tackles and 3 clearances....with a dodgy knee. One of our best. Seriously, even if you're joking, you should give it a rest.

Can you change that 22? Assuming RB is good to go again, it's tough to drop one for anyone except Bud (if fit)
As much as McLean did a good job yesterday, if Bud is ready to go it is a straight swap. If Rowbottom is deemed unfit, I'd get Stephens into the side. Not a like for like but just get the best talent into the team.
Yes; yes. Tea leaves suggest Buddy will be in.
Buddy for McLean makes the most sense.
Hopefully we don’t change our style and become too Buddy centric though. Would like to see Reid, Heeney and McDonald still predominately used, especially if Buddy takes the #1 defender.
Doesn't sound to me like Buddy has had sufficient build up the be ready next week. It wouldn't worry me if he's held out for another week or two.
Likewise I guess the reference to Rowbottom being out would be if his knee doesn't come up too well. He'd be a huge loss but I'd rather we rest him if injured as it's a long season, he's young, and he's integral to our success.
That to me appears to be the most reasonable change to make per say. As Captain says though, hope we don't seek to become too Buddy centric, especially in early weeks where he will still be building up fitness.

Suggesting one of the great players of all time come in for a player who just injured his knee is trolling ? Ok I give up then
An idea on how to proceed .. The Blood’s views on Rowbottom are shared by no one. Nevertheless they are allowed to have that opinion. It doesnt have to make sense to us. TB if you must - keep on taking your shots at him if you think he is that much of a problem. You are right that hes not the only target of your ire. Let us do our best to ignore the opinions on RB that we can not change and respond to your other opinions which at least contribute to the discussions.
Sound good everyone ??
