The maximum would be 3 changes. ...and that is a stretch...

therefore assuming gilbo & milne are right:
- Gardy
- Gilbo
- Milne


Out:
- King (if suspented) or McEvoy
- Raph
- ????
That is exactly what will happen if all are fit. Like you I find it hard to see who will be dropped for Milne. Whoever it is will be stiff. One I cant see it being is Baker as they no where near like for like. Baker has a huge role to play on a sides smallest forward and I see no logical replacement for him if he isnt in the side.
I agree wirh plugger.
Gardiner for King
Gilbo for Raph (if fit)
Mabye an unlucky Jimmy Gwilt for Milne (if fit).

Dont know about the Jimmy dropping though. Raph needs a spell in the two's. The kid can play and we saw that at the end of last year but seems to have fallen back on his old habits. Needs to get back his decisiveness and a bit more desperation. Did some good things yesterday but generally was very dissapointing.

We cant drop Baker against a team like Carlton. You stop Carltons midfield and Fevola will have a hissy fit (as usual) and the team implodes.

We need Baker to negate Judd (or Stevens) and the young mids of Carlton will get crushed by Lenny and Luke Ball and Dal.

I dont know who misses out for tiprat.


Lance or James??

It's interesting people giving our best 22 are and who we should drop when every 22 we have sent out this season has not lost!


Except for the sanity nothing much has been lost.

Of course it is!

And thats my point that while Blake gives us flexibilty down back, and he usualy gets the job done, he is a liabilty when it comes to frees against, has been for years.

Btw look at the other guys high up on that list...they are onballers.

That said I still think his position is safe...if he could just work on that part of his game.

i thought Gwilt was real good yesterday, deserves to keep his spot

Gilbert for Raph (just not good enough)
Gardiner for King (he's goooooone)
Milne for maybe Geary...?
I'd bring Goose in for Blake, even tho Blake hasn't done much wrong, Goose is just a better player

Is Gilbert a certainty to be back this week? I haven't heard any news on him.

ahh, given we clearly can't afford to have Baker, Blake, Max and Zac in the same backline, Max and Zac play the same position, Max came in for Gilbert and the coach mentioned our problem was movement of the ball from defence are we not all skirting around the obvious here?
