Dropping a first gamer after a good performance at short notice, and a solid contributor because he was flat following the birth of his child does not set the right standards.Scollop wrote: ↑Wed 07 Aug 2024 10:51pm After we dropped a couple of games that we should have won early in the year, Lyon made a statement and dropped Seb Ross and Tim Membrey for the round 10 game against Freo.
I don't mind if we lose games in the short term if it proves a point and sets standards for the long term.
I think another statement needs to be made and Hill needs a kick in the bum.

More likely Ross will drop the first gamer than his pet
On second thoughts, maybe he'll drop Higgins.

Mason Wood looks like he's limping to the finish line too.
Hopefully both are back to their expected levels this Sunday.
