Changes v Skunks

In: H.Ralphsmith, J.Clarke, J.Ross
Out: N.Broad (suspension), J.Hopper (knee), J.Short (calf), D.Martin (managed)
 
Cumbo needs to see if he can loan George’s photos. Looks like the only way he can get out of that midfield role he just doesn’t get in the vfl and impress in the forward line and force his way back in.

Would have preferred Banks and Cumbo but you just knew we were always going to be conservative. Dissapointing as this was the perfect free hit game

Cumbo would have to buy George’s photos from Mansell first

Where did all the mansell hate come from?

What did he ever do wrong?

Weird hive mind even by pre whipping standards

He kicked the sealer less than a week ago

Weve gone for speed - hugo, judson and mansell all very quick

Unless youre a star, Young blokes confidence comes and goes.

Cumbos down on confidence.

Suddenly Cumbo the natural forward must become and star as a mid to be selected in the side

More talent in that emergency list besides Clarke.Dow was the closest replacement to Hooper in and under along with Sonsie.Stiff on Miller to.Hugo doesn't impress me besides speed his skills need to improve.

I like the changes, speed kills on todays game and our team just got a little faster - and we are playing a team that loves fast footy.

Sure, would love Sonsie in and Banks to debut but the club generally gets the young players time pretty right.

Mansell is doing OK - you need a mix of elite sublime talent and those who are tough and get their hands dirty - people questioned Baker’s selection in his early games - I know I did.

Mansell did everything right last week - you can’t ask for anymore and I suspect he had a role in helping us to keep the blues hemmed into their backline the week before. He comes from Nank territory - he will be alright.

I agree, but we’ve done it for years. George for example.
I don't get this scenario his competing with Martin on the basis of what and Martin out to ? One is a pure forward the other is a hybrid can play in the guts.The fact is he was our best medium forward by a mile and any sport you play your best players in there position.

We had 3 tackles in our forward 50 last week with all the players in that forward line so not buying the exuse defence aspects keeping Cumberland out to . Do that against the pies you will get put to the sword.
