Yze has already said Kosi keeps his spot, so probably not a lot of changes.

out: Pickett, Dow (injured)
in: Baker, Grimes (if fit)

Move Short to the wing. Kane gets midfield time from the get-go (if the ankle pulls up ok). Sonsie to sub

This could be their 1st win of the season, but I really don't care as long as we're competitive. Get the draft picks.

With Llynch Balta out to have to have a tall forward who can take a grab. Only one who took a garb was Bolts. I would put Samson there & leave him there. Run Naismith off the bench as relief ruck. We got any one better than Young. If Grimes come back in he has to go before Miller.

I would love to say bring Ryan in but he was genuinely unpickable after his outing against Gold Coast. Has he done enough in the VFL to earn a recall?

3 or 4 goals (depending whose stats you use). Good enough for me
Fair enough, probably shown enough then.

We are treading a very fine line of experienced players Vs kids at the moment. We can’t go too heavy on youth and just throw them to the wolves, I think right now the balance is fairly good.

Mt Waverley, Victoria
Out: Lefau, Dow, Sonsie
In: Naismith, Baker, Cumberland (I know I don’t rate him, but reality is we need forwards who can score).

Suspect Grimes won’t be right. If he is, drop Young (unless we want to try him forward).

Kosi should be omitted and replaced with Crayfish or Ryan but Yze said he'll keep his place.

Grimes not sure if he'll be right so leaving him out.

No tall forward. Young in Broad I/c gotta be joking.

Do we go another tall to support Kosi, Naismith or Ryan as I am not convinced that Kosi can cover that much ground at Optus stadium.

Not sure the MC will drop Graham. The old crew still holding onto their positions.. if not for injuries our team would resemble a dimma team of previous years.

Pretty close to today’s team, but includes only players willing to give every effort and not Koschitzke who has not shown nearly enough to warrant selection.

As for Broad starting on the bench it doesn’t mean a thing. Clearly he will play a leading role in defence.
