I think we need to blood our 'finals' Towner or Graham this week. Geelong have no tap rucks to speak of but have some willing athletes. I'd go CCJ for Soldo. Nank will dust off the rust and do the job against the Cats and CCJ may be the Cat's whiskers and/or pyjamas and end up with the cream and/or bickies!
Also Lambo and Grimes in. Higgo and Dow out. Baker to midfield to be mini Prestia/Shed.

Not sure about all these changes.Baker is in top form why would you move him.Nank and Soldo is our premiership ruck pair only can see Chol coming in for horses for courses.Grimes comes in, Edwards,Lambert and Dave is the one we need in defence.Like I said cannot make the mistake playing injured or unfit players.
In: Clearances (team)
Out: Complacency (supporters)
If we let cats dominate clearances they will cut us to pieces.

Gotta be massive concerns about Prestia and Astbury having a meaningful contribution this year. Both have been out for a long time with lower body issues so have not been able to run and fitness will be an issue. Prestia has shown in the past that it takes him a few weeks to get back up to speed after an injury break.
IMO we can not bank on either being key contributors to our premiership defence.

Can't see them dropping Nank Oldie. He needs to play to increase match fitness. Yeah he was horrible last night but he was 2nd up from a long spell. He's a dual premiership ruckman and proven finals performer.
Don't think we can afford to play Chol. He just doesn't bring the intensity required at this level to every game. You can't do that at this end of the season.
Not sure about the calls to drop Higgins.
Reckon he was great when the whips were cracking late in the game.
The kid needs some continuity.
Did more than enough and will only get better with more game time in the legs.

If there is any doubt on Grimes' fitness they won't risk him, BUT
His injury was very minor and they put him into cotton wool early.
He will have had 15 days between games
His hammies have been good since the Germany trip. He knows how to look after them better too.
If there is any doubt on Grimes' fitness they won't risk him, BUT
This next game is like a Preliminary Final that we MUST win. It's a bit like "if we don't bring Royce on now we won't be in the bloody Grand Final".

I dunno. They just kick it to shorty, notorius and bachar, who kick it back twice as far
We can beat cats without grimesy and we can win the flag without beating cats.
Tgeres no way tigers play like its a prelim. Cats might.
We will play like its the end of H&A
Nank is better than Soldo. Time to invest in him for finals. Soldo has done well and it is a credit to him but he was sexond fiddle to Nank who helped turn this club arounD, time to repay that.
Chol is the wildcard second fiddle goal kicker - has to be.
Cats would rather Chol didnt play - that answers the predicament question

And winning games?
If big bodies is all you want, may as well play chol as a mid.
Me? I think the diminutive set up of cotchin bolton Martin pickett edwards prestia
Will suffice
Yep, no need to fall into the David King method of analysis.
They keep telling us we have to change to win.
Can't play with one tall forward. Can't do it without Rance. Can't play Grigg as a ruckman. Can't lose the clearances all the time. Need to tag Fyfe. Need to stop McGovern. Can't let Neale get 50 possessions again. Can't do it with any injuries. Can't win it away from the G.
We just go, 'Oh yeah? Watch us.'
Then we win another premiership and they have to rewrite the hymn book again.
