Hmm I reckon we are in for some late changes.

Just on Garlett and Waite, you would have to say that they were dropped for disciplinary reasons and are getting their recalls not to do with form, but the fact they have learned their lesson.

Form is fickle, it will come and go and dropping guys who are not performing is not always the answer.

Of the changes, the only one that surprises me a bit is Garlett coming in. Hopefully he can find the magic, but his present form did not warrant selection. 
Live Long and Prosper!

Mick must be looking at more run and carry, if Garlett gets a call into the squad.

Back to the old guard!

i simply dont rate jamison

club likes him but he is a C grader at best.....

You do realise he was considered unlucky not to be AA a year or so back.

There'd be a dozen clubs lining up for this C grader if he was available.

With Garlett its never really been about discipline as much as relieving him of pressure that comes from expectation to perform, he's a good kid and when on song he is a gun. With Brock attitude or mental weakness has never been an issue (even taking into account the recent sub thingy), its whether he still has ability to positively impact on a game. I don't think he does, I hope I'm wrong.

He'll add considerably more than either Cripps or Judd did against the Bullies.

Selections make perfect sense to me.

Cripps was as good as two men short. A spell back in the magoos is just what he needs.
Judd didn't play really so we are two players up already.

Jamison, Brock and Jeffy are the obvious ins with Robbo a toss of the coin probably up against 3 or 4 guys like Cachia, Holman, Graham etc.

I'm assuming Carrots will be the tagger, the only tagger, that's encouraging.

Personally i don't like it.
I'd prefer to see Armfield back, the perfect sub.
I'd probably have Menzel + Buckley in ahead of Garlett.

Tend to agree...Mclean and Robbo are very slow and I'd have liked Armfiled in for some balance.
Garlett needs to show more before he gets a game IMO...

Garlett will never go back to the VFL and dominate. Hard as a small forward with less crisp supply and ball movement.

Better off in the big stage if he has indeed worked on his forward pressure and hitting the scoreboard.

Don't mind the INs.

Need to get the ball to ground and kill them with our run.
Its our only hope.

On the flipside, young Cripps has been flung after getting 17 touches last week.

Hope they know what they are doing here !!

It's called quality not quantity. He accumulated 17 possessions of mostly rubbish. He'll come good eventually as he's now had both a taste and a glimpse at what's required at AFL level. Dropping him was absolutely the right thing to do.
