Predicted Teams Round 2 - 2020

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

How bad must Trengove be going? Behind Gardner in defense, and Sweet in the ruck.

[soupman]

How Trengove (due to coaches not liking him for some unfathomable reason) or Young (now shoehorned as a star forward prospect even though we already have one not getting games) don't get a game ahead of an injured Wood, possibly a horrifically underperforming of recent years Cordy and a severely underwhelming Ryan Gardner baffles me.

[whythelongface]

Still miffed why Trengove can’t get a run. No offence to Gardner but surely Trengove is a better option.

[GVGjr]

Gardner and Cavarra maintained. Wood with a quad (our 3rd player with a quad injury)
Gowers back into the mix, no Liberatore nor Trengove

[comrade]

At first glance: Yuck.

Guess we'll see on Sunday.

[soupman]

Cavarra maintained.

Do we know this? On the extended bench and fighting for one of three spots with Suckling, Hayes, Jong, Sweet, Cordy and Richards.

Oh isn't it great to have footy back. I've missed this feeling of disgust and horror.

Lets hope it works out well.

[Axe Man]

No Libba. Wood an unexpected injury.

Extended bench: Matthew Suckling, Zaine Cordy, Ed Richards, Laitham Vandermeer, Ben Cavarra, Will Hayes, Jordon Sweet, Lin Jong

We already know Vandermeer is in so I'm guessing Suckling, Cordy and a toss up between Richards/Cavarra/Hayes/Jong for the last spot.

Gardner and Cavarra maintained. Wood with a quad (our 3rd player with a quad injury)
Gowers back into the mix, no Liberatore nor Trengove

If we are not hard enough in the guts surely Libba would have been our go to option. I am stumped by these selections.

Good luck to Laith and pleased to see Lin back in.

We won't know for sure until this time tomorrow but he hasn't been omitted and it's not like we rolled the dice with someone like Weightman or Dickson to play the FP position

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Only possible reason to play Gardner is that they think he matches up better athletically v King than anyone else. Which probably sums up how bad our KPDs are.

Hope Ryan improves but his performances so far have been concerning.

JT might as well stay home - not being given a look in whatsoever.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

Where is the so called swinging of the axe and 4-6 changes?

We’ve only dropped Young. The other two changes thus far are due to suspension and injury.

Of course it’s an extended bench but those ins and moreso the lack of outs are disheartening.

Like others I’m mystified by the refusal from the MC to name Trengove. Gardner was plain awful last game. Granted, the whole team was, but I’d like to have seen more changes. I guess it’s in unique circumstances so we’ll have to give the MC the benefit of the doubt, but if we dish up a similar performance how can we ever have faith?

[kruder]

Gowers for mongrel? That's all I can think of.

Strange team indeed, I must say I am enlightened to see Cordy on the bench. Surely he is out of chances soon?

[Remi Moses]

I don’t get it
Gardner over Trengove and Young ?
Libba ready to go and doesn’t play ?
I hope this doesn’t turn to crap
