    I had wondered that too. But there is photo of Cotchin on the plane With the team so looks like he has gone

    If there’s no replacement for Melican then surely Amartey has to ruck.

    I know it’s a risk but I would love to bring in someone to release Mills. Give Gould a block of games and let him sink or swim.
    I’m with you. Give amarty a go against soldo. And play Gould and Stephens. Let’s see what they’ve got. A perfect chance against injury riddled tigers

    You really have to wonder if a Top 5 pick cant get a game, in this team, with so many passengers and with all these injuries, why did we pick him.

    Play the bloody kid, he earnt his stripes as a Top 10, the NEAFL isnt playing and if it was it is well below the level any of our draft picks were playing at last year.

    Gould got 18 touches in a SANFL GF, 10 months ago, for christ sake

    Hayward spent most his time on a wing and HB. His composure and decision making need more work to play as a defender - needs time in reserves. Surely Gould as a specialist defender would fill the brief better. Gray looked slow and not up to the pace of the game. Ronke barely did a thing.
    Swap Maibaum for Brand and I think thats ok.

    Sound like Gould wasn’t that great in the scratch match. Shame because I was very excited when we picked him. I miss NEAFL

    Injuries to ronke Melican

    Out Ronke Melican Hayward Gray
    In Stephens Brand Amarty Warner

    Im not a firm believer in guys dropping a level and dominating..... doesnt always happen.

    Young guys can play well at a high level doesnt mean they always dominate a lower level and vica versa.

    Look at Clarke last year, other than Mitchell no one has had a higher possession NEAFL game.

    The system a team plays doesn't always help either, clearly we have a handball game and last week thw amount of handballs to a guy under pressure was crazy.

    Brand is available and “possibly” McCartin. Sam Reid and Sinkers another week away.

    Brand for Melican
    Wicks for Ronke
    Stephens for Clarke
    Amartey for Gray move Mills to the mids and Aliir to defend

    That's close to my preference. Except I thought that Clarke was better last week, than a few people are giving him credit for. So I'd leave him in and let Stephens continue to develop for a week or two longer, in the scratch match league.

    I like these changes but I would like to see Warner instead of Wicks, sounds like he goes in hard and will bring energy to a side that needs it.

    Aliir is not a ruck. At his best he is a top tier intercept marker. Throwing him around in the ruck does nothing for his confidence; let him stick to what he's good at.

    Also Clarke held Gaff to 18, he might stay for now

    There's a chance Sinclair, Reid & McCartin will be available for selection next week which will give our KPP a real boost and free up some players to play in their best positions.

    Going by Barracuda's scratch match update, i would make the following changes for this week:
    Brand for Melican
    Stephens for Clarke
    Stoddard for O'Roirdan
    Warner for Ronke
    Amartey for Gray

    Would like to see Stephens, Stoddard, Warner & Amartey be given a block of matches to prove their wares (like McInnery), realising Amartey & McLean are likely to make way early as next week for either combination of Sinclair, Reid or McCartin.

    Longmire just said in his press conference that Amartey got injured in the scratch match on the weekend. Groin, 2 weeks out. Goddamnit.......

    McCartin was also confirmed as out. Brand is a chance of playing, no mention of Maibaum or Gould but surely they both must be a chance just to sheer lack of numbers and size. Gould might not be super tall, but he plays like a big unit and throws his body around.
