    * ruck changes re prior opp
    * 75 limit on rotations
    * kick out man on mark 15metres from square
    * injury Sub

    and the VFL ones where the AFL has totally lost the plot:

    Three players to be stationed inside 50 metres at each stoppage

    Utter madness and not necessary
    The Ruck - prior opportunity rule was aimed at us also. Darcy had dominated the ruck by taking possession rather than tapping the ball. If they had brought that in 50 years earlier, no one would have ever heard of the name Polly Farmer.

    Agree that McNeill and Scott should be dropped. Thought they both did some good things but would like to see Wood back in defense for this game particularly as the WC have JK, Darling and Allen. West or Cavarra are in the mix to take McNeill’s spot. But if the MC stay with McNeill I am ok with that as well.

    I can't see Scott getting dropped, NcNeil probably should but Bevo just about always gives new players a couple of games free ride.

    It will probably be no change but if there is it would be Wood for McNeil, we may need the experience down back against 3 forwards that will give us a headache.

    Bevo has ruled Wood out for this week and maybe next.

    McNeil is likely getting games because he is the first person to get a front and square crumb inside 50 since Dahlhaus left. It’s something we really need so they may see it as worth some pain to fast track him. Even on Friday night he got a couple of them but butchered the opportunity with a lack of composure.

    Prefer McNeil over Cavarra by a long way.

    Agree. Not sure where the Cav love comes from he's really shown nothing at the level.
    Watch McNeil's highlights in the Sanfl he's a very exciting prospect.

    It can be hard to tell.

    Spot on. Even though he butchered them it was great to see a bloke hit the ball at pace when it came to ground and run toward our goal. Composure comes with experience - can’t learn how to be fast - think he has a decent looking base to work with.
