Mate, this sort of stuff is supposed to go in the Pre Match Thread, that is exactly what it is there for.

Why would Brodie be dropped? He tried as hard as anyone could out there and showed some PACE around the forward line. Keep him in there.

What are people's thought on Jason Cloke being dropped?

i also thought Tugga tried real hard only problem was he tended to get in the way in the last quarter.We really need to have a open forward line to allow Tarrnt, Rocca and Fraser room to move.

Im not a fan of dropping Clokey at all.

I reckon Scotland needs to be brought back in and maybe Freeza needs another go. What do others think?

i agree brooke, scotland has had twenty-nine possies in the last two weeks for williamstown and i think freeborn needs another go. i dont know why he was dropped in the first place cos he played some excellent footy in the middle with burnsie.
but i dont know who they would replace.

About time they swung the axe!!!!!!! Hip hip hooray

Notice a pattern

Cloke suffered from the fact that Malthouse played him out of position on Anzac Day.

McGough suffered the same fate after playing in backline against Carlton.

Surely Ben Johnson is playing Russian roullette and has managed to dodge the bullet this week.

Great to see Cole in the team. Hopefully he grabs his chance with both arms.

But what is Cloke's position? He struggles one on one, he's two slow for a flank, too short for key position. He misses targets, kicking is poor. Goes for the boundary too often, has fresh air punches. If Malthouse is serious he was due for demotion. Rupert was more unlucky.

Well Clokes position certainly isnt on the forward line. I would leave Cloke on the half back line as he often goes up as the third man in contests. Your loose play can also be called helping out your fellow backman. Depends which way you look at it i guess.
