Casboult won't be getting dropped any time soon.

If gorringe comes in it will be at someone else's expense.

Can't afford to drop Casboult.   At worst he'll get the number one defender and at best he will get the second best defender.

Any club goss jeffy?

Too soon for Levi to get dropped IMO. I think BB will persevere with him for 2 - 3 games to see if he can come good, and hopefully provide him with some assistance to practice his goal kicking in the meantime. We have to really find out for sure about him and there aren't too many other similar alternatives atm.

My tip would be one change only, Daisy in, probably for Buckley.

I really don't think Levi's goal kicking is all that important to Bolton.  It's whether he plays his role in the team that will determine whether he gets a game or not.  Kicking a few goals will help though.

I was thinking Daisy for Buckley but I'm not so sure now.  Daisy won't provide the defensive pressure in the forward 50 that Buckley did.  I think that Daisy will come in, but I'm not sure who will go out.

Nah mate, tighter than a snare drum these days which is in itself a good thing.

Mate you are 0/1050 anyway.

I guess the pressure on Levi to kick goals depends very much on whether we can find other avenues to goal. If we can and Levi can provide a marking target that can set up attacking plays and cause problems for opposition defences plus kick the odd goal then agree, he would be safer.

Agree, finding someone to make way for Daisy is not an easy choice, so if Daisy does come in he better put in a good one! 

Personally I would think dropping Buckley on the back of a "bad" one is a step in the wrong direction. Firstly, I say bad in inverted commas because he may have ticked every box the coach asked him to tick and we perceive as bad, the coach may know is is good. Secondly, if Buckley is part of the future, which from all reports he is, he deserves to be persisted with given where he is at in his growth. He deserves more than one bad one before he is chopped. To me, White was alot worse and should face the the chop ahead of DB.

It's a big test for Bolton and the list this week. Sydney are in red hot form and have been able to get a look at how we are likely to set up for most of this season excluding injuries.

Sydney have the numbers to counter Gibbs and Murphy in the midfield, it will be interesting to see what Bolton does when these players get sat on by an opposition. Also what Bolton does to deal with the likes of Franklin and Tippett.

Swans are the bench mark this year, if we play like we did last week we might get within 10 goals.

Don't forget Cripps, Boekhurst, Graham, Kerridge, Wright and Curnow.

Again, we match up pretty well in the mids. Curnow on Parker, maybe Wright on Hannebury (sp?)?

Their monster mid Kennedy is a full 6cm shorter than Cripps though kg wise probably similar?

If Tippett's rucking a lot, that's an immediate win for us......

No McVeigh a big plus for us too.....

Who gets Buddy?
