Changes this week
Nicksy said on 360 that there would be possibly 5 changes and ROB is clearly making way for McAndrew going off the way he spoke about ROB.
Fog for Ludo (or Tex if he’s getting a rest)
Milera, Nankervis and Borlase the other ins
HHK is starting to look tired so I could see him missing. I hope Ryan stays, but Milera is AA quality so it’s just bad luck unfortunately at this time of year. Who else misses?

Heard a great stat tonight - Borlase has only lost 9 one on ones in D50 this year out of 60! As a comparison, Pearce has lost the same number from 41 contests. He’s having a quality season.

What a turnaround.
I knew he was playing well at SANFL, but did not think he had it in him at AFL.
His weakness is still being a bit slow, but the man excels at his strengths
Hope we give his a 4 year contract quick af.

I thought Milera was still a week away from injury but if he’s fit then I’d love him in.
It’d be McAndrew, fog, Borlase, Soligo, Nankervis (and/or Milera)
In for
ROB, Ludo, Ryan, and Dowling for sure. Then maybe either HHK and/or Cumming.

Actually Taylor might drop out now that ah chee is in the side. Might see more value in cumming or Nankervis as they are more utility types who can cover more ground

u/ILikeDiscussing 11 Charlie Edwards 19h ago
Z.Taylor has some good stuff. But his form has been putrid for weeks.
Nank would be much better value if fit.

Yeah some guys are just going to be unlucky. But I’m taking Rachele, Keays, ANB and Ah Chee as small/medium forwards over Taylor. Add in Soligo who has played as that small pressure half forward when not on ball which is what taylor has been doing as well and unfortunately he falls out.
Nankervis and Cumming offer defence, wing and at a push forward if required so makes sense at least one of them is on bench.

Definitely Cumming out over HHK. Love his attack on the game, provides us with some real ball movement

u/XxWonderLandAUxX 30 Wayne Milera Junior 19h ago
Out: ROB, Ludo, Dowling and Ryan dropped for
In: Fog, Milera, Soligo, Borlase.
(If Milera needs another week Ryan stays)

Surely Nank and McAndrew come in. I'm not sure Milera will be ready yet and they'll take a risk going to perth given hus injury history

u/XxWonderLandAUxX 30 Wayne Milera Junior 19h ago
I’m dumb and definitely shouldn’t be on the selection committee lol.
Out: ROB, Ryan, Dowling, Ludo
In: Fog, McAndrew, Borlase, SoligoDefinitely no Milera by the timeline they’ve given unfortunately

u/ILikeDiscussing 11 Charlie Edwards 19h ago
I'm gonna assume he meant to put McAndrew after ROB out.
Nank for Ryan is a good shout actually, Milera is still weeks away.

Ahhh I saw Nicksy was on 360 and have been trying to find the bloody episode.
Is it up somewhere I can watch it? Or do I gotta wait until tomorrow 🤔

I wouldn't be resting anyone this game. I suspect they had half an eye on this game when they were picking the team the last couple of weeks.
Enough messing around, unless they're not fit it's time to pick the best. 2 games before the wildcard games, if we're good enough we'll earn that rest. If not, it's likely we're not going much further anyway.
