There's no way JT or Brown go out, that's insane!
Noble & Mayne maybe. _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

Well you would think if Moore is good to go, then Madgen goes, JDG for Noble... then it gets tricky. It's either Brown or Varcoe for mine, with either unlucky. Mayne is a hard nut who can play small or tall in a variety of shutdown roles. _________________ Get back on top. |

I am afraid that we can't drop Trav Varcoe. I think he is planning something extraordinary for his finale. I think it might have to be Callum Brown who, unfortunately, has to be omitted in order for Stepho to return. I think that we should retain Mayne as he offers something significantly different, and with Elliott, Varcoe JDG, and Stepho coming into the forward line it has to be another small forward who makes way. Anyway, we should reassess after Essendon game. If either of Trav Varcoe or Callum Brown has a shocker, they could miss out. Pressure is on these two, for sure! _________________ Free Julian Assange!!

Totally agree - Varcoe's last 3 games have been fantastic. Brown - while showing glimpses of form - has been missing for longer (and with little impact) for many of his last 10 or so games, and really needs to do something special this week to saving himself from being omitted. Mayne is simply not even in the conversation of one who could be dropped. _________________ I find your lack of faith disturbing |

I just replayed the 3rd quarter in order to fully grasp the enormity of Jamie Elliott's game. We had a tactic of isolating him in the goal square, and because Adelaide had totally lost hope, they were incapable perhaps of noticing it, or perhaps of physcially being able to run and fill the space. Naturally enough, stronger opposition would ensure that we could not manufuacture such space...unless we had another small forward, named Jaidyn Stephenson running through the forward 50 like a small blonde hurricane. Only now am I starting to fully grasp the implications of what unfolded against Adelaide: Jame Elliott has just had a break out game, on the eve of Stepho's return. With JDG to enter this forward mix as well, it is truly a forward line to unleash terror.
The presence of Wills in the midfield has also been a truly gigantic piece of the jigsaw puzzle. His physicality was fantastic. He pulverised the Adelaide mids in his tackles time and time again. His presence there has made it possible to finally unchain Treloar, Pendles and Sidey on the outside. That is why our ball movement looked to have been transformed against Adelaide. It is not that Wills is a star: it is simply that he is playing, superbly it might be added, a crucial role that was essential for our midfield balance.
I am daring to dream again. _________________ Free Julian Assange!!

To me it's simple.
Moore replaces Madgen.
Then we bring in 2 forwards in JDG and Stephenson to replace Brown and Thomas. The outs will certainly be unlucky, as they have been playing their roles well, but they are simply not as good as Stevo and JDG. |

I agree with you RudeBoy, on paper anyway However, we are making the assumption that all three players coming in will show no signs of being rusty/lacking in match pressure. This is something I'm concerned about a little.
We would also need to depend heavily on astute delivery to the smaller forward line and for them to allow each other the space in which they can all contribute to a good team outcome (as happened against Adelaide).
As for the delivery factor, I think it's crucial as MTTM explains above, that Rupert stays in the team and continues to play with his current level of ferocious bull-dozing. This to allow the likes of Treloar, Pendles, Adams, Grundy etc to lower their eyes and deliver efficiently into the forward line, as also highlighted by MTTM above. |

I'm sure our ol' mate the Grim Reaper will assist in claiming another victim this week, which will ease some pressure on the selection committee....
Noble and Madge were both solid against the cows, and played well above their experience. Either would be unlucky to be demoted.
Still a great problem to have... _________________ M I L L A N E 4 2 forever |

Out Madgen- In Moore
Out Noble- In Aish
Out Thomas- In De Goey
Out Brown- In Stephenson
All the above in for the first final for mine.
Harsh calls on Thomas and Brown but JDG and Stephenson must play.
Aish and Moore make our backline significantly better and allow Roughead to play forward and ruck.
Imagine the forward line:
Hoskin- Elliott. Mihocek. Elliott
Roughhead. Stephenson. De Goey
(with cameos from Varcoe/Sidebottom/Treloar/Pendles/Mayne/ Grundy drifting forward) _________________ Firm in the belief that number 17 flag is only months away... |

Why is Stevo a walk up start?
He forked up and has missed the last 10 games. He’s let his teammates down.
Those teammates have contributed in getting us to the finals.
He’s probably out of touch and needs match fitness.
If I were match committee I’d stick with the blokes that have got us there and Stevo can start perparing for 2020.
Imagine being the player dropped for Stevo. I’d be filthy. Idiot goes on the punt, is suspended for 10 weeks and then waltzes back into the finals side..... wouldn’t happen on my watch. Shocking move from a culture point of view. _________________ Beware the swooping Magpie. |

If we want to be competitive on Grand Final day (whichever year we next get there), we need to replace all of Madgen, Scharenberg, Wills, Noble, Varcoe, Thomas, Mayne and Greenwood.
So, if we get back Moore, JDG and Stephenson, we'll still be 5 prawns short of a decent barbecue. |
