Changes for Round 6 v Richmond Tigers

[MattW]

Out: Gray, Ronke, Hayward
In: McCartin, Warner and either Brand (if available) or Gould or Stephens or Stoddart or Foot (if not available).

Does taking three small forwards out all at once mean we can no longer apply enough pressure in the front half? I'm thinking Warner can play forward and apply some of that pressure. Not as quick and good at goal scoring but a great tackler and can help us in the forward 50 contests and locking the ball in.

I'm coming round to the idea of just playing the kids that are our future. Would be nice to be able to put a bit more experience around them, but that doesn't currently seem to be a luxury that we have.

How long until Reid and Brand return? Buddy's still a way off. Naismith probably never coming back. Sinclair could be a while. No clue what's happening with Ling and Maibaum. Last I heard they were still on our list.

What's the minimum amount of time we have to give O'Connor to learn the game before setting him loose?

Right now I'm feeling pathetically grateful to have a journeyman like Cunningham, and even more so for a decent player like Hewett.

These are generally my thoughts. Such a bummer that we don't have more reserves games to get these lads some footy. Looks like no scratch match this weekend. (Can anyone text barracuda?)

I don't think there's much point continuing to play Gray, Ronke, Clarke and O'Riordan. Time to roll the dice on some other players. It's at least time for Warner - Rowbottom and McInerney have shown the benefit of playing young kids who have a crack.

Melican is injured. Brand was listed as 'two weeks' on Tuesday.

I think Lewis Taylor offers more than Gray.

Not at all realistic, I know it's laughable, but whatever:

OUT: Gray, Ronke, Clarke, O'Riordan, Melican
In: Lewis Taylor, Foot, Warner, Stoddart, McCartin (playing defence)

Why would you bring Lewis Taylor back in when he had 5 disposals in each of his last two outings. I would produce youth. Forget has beens
