Changes v GC

WhyTF would you omit Mansell, one of the few depth genuine backmen we have, and make 6 changes, when we could have made 5.
Don’t care about the 6 changes because to me it should have been 7. Castagna must be the luckiest player in the AFL. He has played one decent game in the last 12
I would have played Parker despite the fact he was quiet in the vfl last week

I don’t rate Naish but if his form warrants it then fine, happy for him to be selected. But RCD and Ross v Mansell who in my mind has shown heaps more (and is unlucky to be out of the side) just doesn’t stack up for mine. Note: before anyone says it Mansell has played a midfield role at North Launceston and Woodville so he could easily slip in there.

Strange times the last two weeks at the selection table.

Agree and agree. The mind boggles.
 
article says 'personal reasons' for Greenwood.

Likely hub related. I bet his misses is about to pop.
Don't think you could be further from the truth if you tried.

Hugh's partner is very unlikely to fall pregnant anytime soon.
 
Similar height and ability to run is the only common ground between Broad and Grover.

The main issue with K mac playing Nathans role is that K Mac is pretty poor overhead and a lot less reliable using the footy than Broad and a less agile and co ordinated.

But Grover does hit bodies and can provide run.
Love Broady and he'd be top-5 in the B&F but he has dropped roughly 146 uncontested marks this year.
 
Mansell should have stayed in this is the perfect game for him, as was the perfect game for Miller and Stack to get a run.

They'll; probably play Ross out of position at half back or on the wing then drop him next week instead of playing the small backman.

Naish in is meh.

Dynasty over. They have completely lost the plot. These are pre 2017 team selections. No way Ross comes in ahead of Miller. No way Naish comes in ahead of Dow or Stack. Mind boggling. I want Mrs Hardwick back. Dimma has lost his marbles

Macintosh was almost BOG playing that role in last years GF.

Mansell should be in agreed Drofder.

Houli needs to be spelledI MO hes been below par pretty much all season and was dreadful last week.

He's looking cooked.

Many will think I'm shooting Bambi but Bash shouldve retired last year after his Grand Final Heroics that helped the Tigers to go back to back but thats my opinion.

Naish is not the answer either, I'd much rather give Stackie a run, as come business end Stack is the sort of player who can impact in hard games as opposed to Naish.

Can't believe Aarts keeps surviving. Bang average player. If he's the best we have as a small forward we're no hope this season.
