Lord can't go with Daicos.  Not many can.

Surprised they bring in Lord with Hewett in.  Even if Cerra goes back to the wing we lack a bit of pace.

Maybe Hewett will be a late out and Flynn Young comes in to play the Jack Ison role.

Disappointed they have dropped Holland but can understand why.    Just hope they play him in the same role in the VFL and not as an inside mid.

Don't think Reidy has done much right all year, and his inclusion must be based on trackwork and a little bit of hope.

I've suggested this before (possible last time we played them) but i'd like to see Cottrell go to Daicos. He has the tank. He adds agression which Naicos doesn't like. Would get inside his head.

Worth a shot IMO.
Let's face facts, we have nothing else to lose.  Daicos will get 30 touches no matter what we do.  The aim of the exercise is to not let those possessions provide many results.

Despite the drained Reflecting Pool showing no signs of a cut in the liner, Taco has doubled down and is now claiming that there is a 300 yard cut and that "the floor of the pool was cut and then pulled upward, with great force, by these thugs."  Of course, there's no evidence of that happening.

While it could be coincidence, marks on the liner do seem to exactly follow the path Taco's motorcade took when it drove over the newly applied liner.

If Im not mistaken, Reidy played a blinder in the 2s so he is being rewarded I guess.

Having watched the match, I would say you are mistaken.

You're a hard marker RR  :)

I thought that Reidy was very good and his stats - 15 disposals, 22 hitouts, seven clearances, and two goals - tend to support that.

Truslove thought he was good too:

"Reidy had an outstanding first game back after a long injury break. He gave us first use particularly at centre bounce and his follow-up around stoppages was aggressive. He played big and he led the way with his voice and leadership."

Being aggressive, playing "big" and leadership is still some way off for Riley.

Perhaps the thinking that Reidy offers more than Riley at this stage, around ground and up forward.
