Probably felt to be the more suitable option for an Ablett, Selwood or Bartel.
Agreed.
Am I the only person here NOT surprised by this decision?
sheesh. Of course mini was going to come in to do a job on any one of their mids...I wouldnt say that he is definately going to Ablett like so many keep bleeting. Bartell, Selwood, Corey...take your pick. Mini is quicker and seems to be able to concentrate defensively better than Birss, who, granted, has much more attack in his game. Birss is stiff...but its horses for courses.
Of course X was going to come in. He's fit, ready. He's always gonna be in our best 22.
Our backline has been freakin sensational over the past couple of months. I honestly think they are capable of shutting them down. Just need to limit the quality and quantity of the delivery.
This team has been picked to do a job. Execute a plan that our coaches think will win.
Gotta back em guys. If our mids hold out, our backline will win pretty much every position. They have done some decent shutdowns over the last ten weeks. The stats dont lie.
If we can turn it around and get some delivery....
F*** this is a massive game lols.
