Unless there is a long term injury out of today's games, then Dahlhaus cannot play, he is a rookie listed player.

Rookie?
That's a bit disappointing, he looked like he could have added some much needed pressure and pace.
Either way, with the way we played today, i don't think we can afford to play 2 ruckman and Jones. Clearly didn't see the VFL today other than a couple minutes

Out: Jones, Hudson
IN: Roughy, Libba (forgot about him anyway)

I think we were probably a bit tall, and to be honest, i thought out of Hudson and Minno, when they weren't in the ruck they were almost invisible other than the first 5 minutes. Jones' kicking was incredibly frustrating. I've been a bit disappointed in Roughy this season, but he's got some talent. I thought Hall was a week off still and i think we're better off giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Does Stack go out simply because he's Stack....or were you critical of his game today?

FFS, why Stack, he played well today picking up 23 disposals?

maybe a bit rough, but I would like to see how effective those 23 were.
I am recalling a few times where he lost his man in the forward line, I'd say led to a couple of goals, and some poor decisions with the ball, and still fumbly below the knees.
I've been keen to see him get an extended run, and am by no means a constant bagger of him. I really thought he was a liability in defense today.
Eade seemed to think so at quarter time as wel, and I don't think much changed as the game wore on.

Stack gets that, huh?

I think we need to bite the bullet and try to develop a 2nd ruck in the side. It won't work if we just doing it once every 6-7 games. Roughead doesn't seem to have the ability up forward to warrant selection and the Hudson/Minson combo didn't work well in a game that would suit it more than most. I think that our 'best' option is Barlow but he is on the rookie list. Perhaps Skinner?

Don't get me wrong, I don't like our part timer 2nd ruck options but it's a slightly less strong dislike than having two of Minson/Hudson/Roughead in the side. On a sidenote, I think that if we give Minson the number 1 spot he can really improve as a player.

I am not one of the constant baggers of Stack or any player for that matter.
As I just posted I thought there were some specific errors from him today.

I don't think the backline was the issue today, it was our forward line. Both teams had 55 forward entries yet they had 23 scoring shots to our 15. Jones, Grant butchered the ball today, Sherman was not effective, Hill went up there didn't do much and Murphy almost won us the game. Not sure what Gilbee's role was today.
