Ok, what a debacle last week. I got the day wrong, the number of games left wrong and how far we were out of the eight wrong.
Then there was the actual debacle on the field especially in the second round. Still I put some blame on the umpiring, who let Richmond play on and kick a goal whilst Lloyd was stunned on the ground from being taken out, the dodgy 50 meter penalty (did Papley even throw the ball when he tapped it to Heeney?) that also led to a goal etc.
Anyway, I don't have much excitement re who is in/out this week as the cupboard is pretty bare with Chad Warner still likely to be out and Ladhams not fit to support/replace Hickey. Lloyd needs to come out due to the 12 day protocol and they can play Fox in defence where he belongs.
Maybe put in McAndrew now the season is pretty much over, and play Almartey again now that he had his managed rest and rest Buddy with his bung knee, and have Corey Warner as sub.
As we need the league to seriously consider a send-off rule, I think we put in Wicks as he can take out the Bont or Bailey Smith for us. Our season is likely over, so let's have one more does of mindless aggro we can talk about on the forum before he gets delisted.
For me:
Outs:
Lloyd (12 day rule, Fox goes to defence), Buddy (managed), Hickey (managed), Francis (sub)
Ins:
Wicks (but taking Fox role), Almartey, McAndrew, Corey Warner (sub)
Or if they want to go tall due to English and Lobb, then keep Francis instead of Wicks if they are hoping to win this game.
