From this I can only assume that Acres is not match fit enough to be selected in the Seniors?

Pretty sure he didn't play the full game last week. Will do this week and back the week after.

Should be straight in.
Id also like to see Connellan get a run at it ahead of Lonie.

Correct - 31 possessions, 4 marks & 8 tackles clearly shows that

Players not performing or injured, out, and players putting in at Sandy selected. Acres and Freeman next week I think.

He will be dropped again next week once Acres racks up another 35 but surely you would have tried Ben Paton over Lonie at least - racked up similar stats vs Coburg

I wouldn't be surprised if it is the following week against GWS up at the far away place where their ground is hidden away.

Clearly he is going to attract a fair amount of media upon debut and I wonder if the added spotlight, intensity and pressure of Friday night games is part of thier decision making process when deciding what game to schedule for his debut?

On paper...

Carlton could beat us.

Looks like we're trying to lose to Carlton. I may never forgive the club for this.

yes, i mean it is ridiculous.. Phillips and Lonie ahead of Acres i s just madeness
the guy played last week and playing him in the twos is a waste of time, he is far too good for that comp

Some excellent changes but not Lonie again!!!!!!!!!!

Surely Acres would be better and why isn't White given more of a go? If only he was given the chances that Lonie , Weller and Newnes get.

I am still not sure Phillips is up to it but worth another look I guess.

No Hugh Goddard again. Austin out and obvious replacement - Cards are marked I feel .

Lots of spin to come: " he was close, we really considered him , putting together a good body of work at Sandy, Just felt match ups not quite right, Just needs to tick a few more boxes.....

Heard them all before . All year selection (not just Richo) has lacked courage, Perhaps trying to fool people of the trade value of some players?

Seriously can someone please tell me what Newnes does each week to justify his selection? I am obviously missing something. Please, someone give me an explanation???

As for Acres, he is in our top 10 players (being generous to a few) and could easily argue top 5. Again, can someone please explain to me why you would have a player of this calibre spending another week in the twos? What other club does this with one of their best players?
I totally understand he's been out for many weeks...but he had 30 touches!! I think he's ok!!!
God, Diledio is coming back from injury, he's playing in the twos this week... i guarantee if he has 30 touches he'll be straight back in!!

The mind boggles, and this is before i even start on Freeman.
