Changes vs Port Adelaide

Cumberland?
Didn’t watch the VFL practice match but reports are he was below average.
Its about his 6th praccy match probably had a gutful, emergency last week and overlooked again.
Personally wish him luck at a new club

Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

We played well tonight. Not much would have needed to go right to get the win over last year's prelim finalists.

Not losing half our backline would have helped. Bolton waking up from his snooze. Mansell being able to convert from 3 metres. Not having a 5 day break that took out Prestia. Not having another - 10 free kick differential. Any of those.

Out: Young, Gibcus, Prestia.

In: Miller, Kosi (full back), Sonsie.

You forgot the under achievers Mansell MRJ Pickett Ross. Tresize Miller will have to come in for Gib & Young. Sonsie Cumberland Clarke Ralphsmith besides Coutlhard are some who have enough games under their belt to step up to the next level. Time to bite the bullet Adam & remember " who dares wins ".
 
Out Young, Prestia, Gibcus, MRJ
In Miller, McAuliffe, Tresize, Clarke / Coulthard

Mansell and Dow on very thin ice.

Lefau is quick.

Mcauliffe has that lateral movement you want in a midfielder and is a big unit.
Those two will address other issues, but not direct speed through the midfield. We need a Coulthard or someone in this side as well.

Clarke’s the only one with genuine speed there.
You may be surprised to learn Lefau/Miller (2.91) & McAuliffe (2.92) beat Clarke's (2.95) combine 20 metre sprint result, not that it's the true test of acceleration in game.

Can we just check with the Gestapo that this isn't an away game in 10 f*cking days!! Too short or too long??
