    I dunno man JJ needs a bit of continuity still has a role to play with some good patches of form this season.

    Duryea I'm less enthused about he's been pretty diabolical this season not sure he should be coming in.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

      I’d juggle the defenders and move Khamis back, drop Coffield.

      Fridge just played a sensational game but may take a bit more time in the back half to help prepare us for what’s to come the few weeks after where his height can be beneficial as coverage.

      I’d then reward Garcia and bring him in and start Hynes as sub.

      This gives us some more run if we are “tired and sore” as posters seem to be suggesting.
      Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

        Not happening. Khamis should almost be dropped himself. Sub 2 weeks in a row

          Sorry, but the last three just dont stack up for mine. VdM has been overall good this year and has built a few credits. JJ is way more effective than Doc has been this year. If Doc comes in then its for Bramble. I cant see that happening. Buss, I want to get him in but struggle to see how. Coffield was ok, but I don't see Buss as a straight replacement for him

            We disagree on all points. Imo VDM adds very little and his contribution is insufficient. JJ struggles to get on the park these days and was poor against Sydney. Busslinger needs to be tried and needs to come in now to see how he performs not close to finals.

              McNeil was down a bit but he should have some credits in the bank and there doesn't appear to be a logical replacement.
              Khamis on and off the bench over the last 3 weeks is screaming for a full game either at the senior level or at Footscray
              There has to be some doubts on Coffield's ability to perform but the selectors will most likely stick with him for another week.

              Garcia has been in terrific form but it's as a midfielder.
              Do we have a spot for him there or will we do a Paddy Lipinski with him and promote a ball hunting midfielder into a defensive small forward role and expect it to work?
              We rarely see a week go by where the Busslinger supporters aren't calling for his promotion but North typically only play 2 taller forwards so is there a genuine spot for him?
              Poulter has also been in solid form, Baker is typically around the mark and Scott could come into considerations.
              I've sort of ruled out Jones as he hasn't played for a couple of weeks. Could we take the opportunity to debut Jaques?
              I was hoping Jacques would be a surprise debut but I guess its too late now. He's been good in front of goal and would enliven the backline.

                Absolutely agree with McNeil call. Think JJ will be better for the run, and although i dont see the value of Coffield, i think if he gets dropped now, he never makes it back. Again he may get better with more consecutive games under his belt. As for Poulter... no thanks.

                  Has he really done enough to impress?
                  Sure it's nice to have a number of players debut in a season but it's not like we haven't rewarded in form younger players so I don't quite see the need to rush it. He will probably get a game soon enough.

                        McNeil very lucky. Might repay the faith against North. Worried if he does how he then performs against Crows.

                        Hope the illness doesn’t spread to other players, assuming it’s contagious.

                        Happy to see Garcia in team. Let’s hope Duryea can turn clock back to last year’s form. Perhaps his leadership is seen as important.

                        Would love Poulter to cement a spot. He has to be more competitive & find the ball more as well as improve his kicking effectiveness (take a leaf out of Davidson’s playbook).
                        Josie :)

                        Our day will come
                        And we'll have everything.
                        We'll share the joy
                        Just like '54 again.

                                Duryea? Love him but he is cooked.
