POLL: Our team for the Giants game will feature:
I always enjoy Match Committee Bingo.
As much as I have loved having Bevo as coach, since way (way) back in 2015 I have been perplexed, befuddled and generally confused at match committee almost on a weekly basis. Selections from left field, right field - and in several cases, the grandstand! - make every team announcement an event.
Here's what I want to know: HOW many changes will be announced after two pretty disappointing games.
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

Re: POLL: Our team for the Giants game will feature:
3 changes with Cordy, Hayes & McLean coming in for Gardner, Gowers & Vandermeer.
Insert comment about deckchairs & the shuffling of...
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Re: POLL: Our team for the Giants game will feature:
There needs to 4 - 5 but I think it'll just be 3 changes if we're lucky. 2 would be classic Bevo.
If Gowers and Gardner stay in then they may as well run me out on the ground with them.

Re: POLL: Our team for the Giants game will feature:
I think a sensible amount would be 2 or 3 changes. GWS are pretty mobile in their forward half with Cameron, Finlayson and Himmelberg; tallish players with decent running ability. So I'm not sure I'd bring in Trengove as a defender.
Probably Young/Cordy in for Gardner, and Trengove/Sweet in for Dale to take the lions share of the ruck, but then what do you do with Tim (who did well in the final sans Jacobs). Forward/Ruck/Bench rotation maybe. With an eye on the long term goal of some stability.
In the final we lost the contested ball by 42 which is a hiding, so that does move my thoughts to Libba but it would be a gamble.

Re: POLL: Our team for the Giants game will feature:
4-5, noting the 5 day turnaround. A surprise injury, a couple of omissions, 1-2 rested.
I suspect Gowers retains his spot. Richards might be rested with a knee knock, Suckling rested because he's an older player with an ongoing achilles problem. Gardner out due to popular demand.
Expecting Cordy, Trengove and Libba in for a start.

No changes. All is fine.

Re: POLL: Our team for the Giants game will feature:
I think we'll have 3-4 primarily based off the short break but I have no confidence we'll make the right changes.

Re: POLL: Our team for the Giants game will feature:
Crozier training away from the main group sounds a helpful development.
I genuinely have zero idea. Two? Five? Seven?
Fascinated to see whether the match committee swallows their pride and makes some unforced changes.

There is also a scratch match planned for tomorrow against North, so that should help out those that miss out this week.

Hopefully they will bring in Trengove and Cordy. The backline could really do with some mongrel, and it will at least keep some of us happy.
