    Staggering selections....Jones out....don't we like contested marks? Skinner? Give me strength - is miles and miles off. I'd prefer sherman in also- but can understand if he's given a week off to work on some things.

            Agree with above Liam's game last week was very good. Cannot understand this selection. Would the forecast of rain have anything to do with it?

                Totally agree, Jones was much, much better last week, his reward is to get dropped... I don't understand that one.

                    Play Skinner for as long each game as his body/fitness can endure so we can make the judgement we need to make. Places on the list are precious and we can't afford to have project players burning too many opportunities.
                    Disagree. Skinner needs a lot of development in the VFL IMO. He's an interesting prospect but at the moment the pace of the AFL is way too fast for him. I reckon at the moment he's not worth a spot in the Seniors, he should spend the rest of the season in the VFL, have a good preseason and then look at him again. I'd be prepared to give him 2 seasons in the VFL, easy.

                        Agree, staggered by the non selection of Jones!
                        Agree with the thoughts on Zeph, we have to find out if he's going to make it.

                            On a small ground having the 3rd ruckman just doesn't seem right to me. Cordy has been fine but as a forward Jones is ahead of him.

                                A second effort, defensive mindset when required, x factor and commitment to the contest. Despite shermans pace he was a mistake.

                                    He's shown all of that in his opportunities this season.

                                        No I guess it isn't and it's not for me to understand.

                                        I don't know why Skinner is playing ahead of Jones unless Jones is injured. I thought Jones got hold of a few last week. The MC may be predicting rain.
                                        But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                                            Fair call, but if this is what we are doing rather than playing our best perceived team then it sort of indicates to me that the coaching staff really do think this is a rebuilding year with opportunities for experimentation and assessment rather than putting our best team on the park week in week out.

                                            If we make finals all well and good but for mine Sherman and Jones are in our best team.

                                                    Sounds more like Sherman than Skinner to me.

                                                            Well , if Jones was supposed to be rested last week but played when Cordy dropped out and he,s being rested this week I suppose General Mac and the coaching staff are sticking to a program to rest players

                                                            The extreme theory would be that General Mac has destroyed the Periodic Table as he only needs the Element Surprise
