Changes v GC

Look you all want poor performance to be dropped,but are happy to include poor performance from a lower VFL,Parker 11 touches ,and Mansell has to find more ball,32 touches in VFL ,29 has to be rewarded .
 
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.
I’m with you on much of that Craigslist. But as I said earlier, they’ve got the runs on the board so I guess we just have to back them in. Or, maybe, some selections are as much a bit of a last determination on a few guys ? Who knows.
 
I am not sure about Ross and Naish. They have been great at VFL but looked a mile off it at AFL level. It might be almost the last chance for both of them.

Agree on Naish but Ross has some credits. Must deliver soon tho.

As has been mentioned, when you have a lot of senior players injured you don't drop other senior players. Just won't happen folks.

VFL report stated Ross picked up 29 possessions in the backline last week. I just can’t see that he has the speed and accuracy by foot to play half back in the seniors. His development by the club has been very disappointing

So looking at our backline we have a slowish look with astbury,ross,nick v and houli..

Like most vaguely sane people i don't go out of my way to watch gold coast games so is their forward line full of quickish small/mid sized players who
could expose that or no?
 
Dimma has lost the *smile* plot. This team is *smile*. Miller, Dow Parker and Stack should all be playing. Naish, Cantstandya, Chol and Houli given the arse. We will be even slower than last week
 
Gotta question the training preparation this year. Soo many injuries. Have they dropped their training intensity so lost sharpness and match fitness because of it. If you dont train with high intensity you wont be able to play and handle high intensity pressure when it comes your way. Remember 2 years ago on one of the footy programs where someone mentioned our training sessions were above and beyond the rest of the teams. Wonder if we just think success will come now and have stopped the hard work
 
Thinking that Lambert,like prestia are sore and being a midweek game,Tigers decided to not risk them,as dimma clearly stated,few of our boys are sore.
Spot on. They will likely both be playing the following week

All else equal you will choose the experience!
If all else was equal we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
Well as expected, no dropping Houli, no dropping KMac, no dropping Castagna. Too much experience already being forced out. Was never going to happen this round.

And the other question there is, how many HBF’s or blokes who can play that role or similar to it, do we need ? Short, Houli, Vlaus, Mansell, Stack, Hugo, Baker … we need Ross to be a genuine on baller.

A couple in the shop window, perhaps. Naish and Ross to GC with CJ for pick 2?
