Couldn've brought in Zac Williams for Byrne. But, hey, Williams is an emergency and Byrne stayed in. Have 6 blokes under 12 games in.

Keep trying.

Why drop Derkson though? What did he do wrong?
Why not Haynes?

Weitering>>Derksren, Haynes plays a different role.

I don't mind holding the kids back a little in a game like this.
So while BenC and Charleson should get an opportunity soon, it's probably not a game for first gamers with number of other inexperienced guys playing.
This will be difficult.
We have matched up well in the past but they're going as well as anyone.

Agree Lods, we’ve got enough kids playing at the moment all of whom have earnt the right to play, we shouldn’t be compromising our chances to win with special look at in be selections.

I must watch different games Kurds, in both our Adelaide Oval games I thought Haynes played well.  Yes can have some rough patches early, in games, but as progressed I thought Haynes became our saving sweeper down back. Yes Derksen promising performance last week. Sometimes feel he is a risk with his lay it off kicks out to the flank, as not always pin point. Could come undone against a team like Geelong.

Sorry mate, you jumped into the middle of an ongoing discussion and missed the tone/history of it all.
I actually agree with you.

My point was that all the sack voss crew are pumping up frasers tyres, which is fine, but theor logic for it is wrong.

One of the 'big positives' attributed to fraser was that he is playing the kids more.
This is false.
This was my sarcastic comment highlighting as much.

Not the game tio bring in Ben C. But Cerra would want to start contributing a lot, lot more.

???? Cerra 8 coaches voted last week. They were obviously impressed, but what would they know!!!!

Could have a point.
