Changes V GC

Out: Dusty (even if he's 95% I wouldn't risk him, need him cherry ripe for finals); Gibcus (rested); Soldo (forecast is for a shower or two later in the day and the game is at 4:30pm)
In: Prestia, Miller, Lambert
Bit sad that a few drops of rain negate an AFL players contribution.
 
Conspiracy theory:

The Dusty medical sub was planned.

He's missed a training session this week, and has had an inconsistent season.

Manage him and Lambert for a half each against a bottom 4 side.

I also saw him mouthing 'I'm fine', to Nic Nat at the end of the game.

I think he'll stay in this week. Lambo the sub again.

In: Prestia

Out: George

Just undo the change we made this week.
As an aside, I reckon Castagna actually played one of his best games for the year. 4 tackles is his best return, and he looked a lot sharper hunting.
Found a bit more of the ball too. He is just so far below AFL standard with ball in hand.
There was a Petrucelle goal in the fourth that was a direct result of two Castagna skill errors in the middle of the ground when we were running forward. Forget the simple missed handballs and kicks, errors when we have the run are diabolical.
What was Nic Nats question though?

Might not have been.about his hammy.
 
Inclined to bring Mansell in for Vlastuin. Need extra pace and hardness as opposed to marking against the GC forward line.

Two Phones doesn't run he glides like a gazelle.

Smoothe mover is Cholly, and economical with his energy expenditure.
Mabior Usain Bolt eh? not Haile Gebrisalassie? Levi and Chol will mark and kick a few. For Gibcus, after lining up on Buddy, Cameron these 2 are a step down. Get some confidence up. Rankine kicked most of their goals. Now no Vlas maybe a good match up for Mansell.

Gibb will smash Marbs, Tarrant will cut out Levi and Grimes will obliterate Rankin. Job done

Massive danger game this one. If I was GC would think RFC is ripe for the picking given current forced outs.

It’s interesting. Vlaustin a fair bit out of form. Prestia back and maybe Cotchin. Dusty clearly a difference maker though but hasn’t contributed massively until first half last week. Not sure what their defence is like but surely our forward line much superior to Collingwood’s and defence still pretty solid.
 
We need to get it out of the centre
in this game I’d put Pickett the centre

In Lambert Miller Prestia
Out Edwards sub, Gibcus Martin.
I’d like to see Stack for George and Ryan for
Soldo but that won’t happen.
If NV is outed then maybe Stacky will get his chance.
 
Mansell for Vlastuin
Prestia for Martin
Miller for Gibcus
Lambert to swap with Edwards as medi-sub

Baker to drop back into defence for Vlastuin and Lambert to replace Baker in the mid/fwd role
