Changes for this week

[The Fireman]

As I predicted long is improving all the time his disposal is good now and would be a real boost if he was put in the F50

[saynta]

Byrnes got his tyres pumped up by Batchelor.
One goal from the pocket was called 'brilliant' in the wrap-up

Yeah it was; Lightening fast too. Tap out to Byrnes by Heath...goal.

[repta]

Jones plays pretty well historically against the Demons.

But I wouldnt rush him. It is a long season and we need him at the pointy end

Same with Billings.

It will depend a bit on the whether eg Highmore v Geary (tall v short) and how sore the others are after last weeks debacle.

[saynta]

Someone tell me what Butler is doing wrong.
What is he lacking? Forgotten how to do?
Has he been given instructions that don’t don’t suit him? Lost fitness?

I can’t see what is going on.

I don’t believe all this ‘defensive forward’ baloney.

I do t trust Long to replace him. Long could kick seven, miss seven, get seven posies or get seven Brownlow points ..Long has been nice off the back line (I think)



So if we drop Butler, then Gresh has to be the pocket and then Byrnes comes in as a mid fielder - and from what we’ve see. I don’t think Byrnes is as good at it as Gresh, but overall, on balance the team might be up.

Can you imagine a midfield of Ross, Steele, Crouch and Byrnes dealing with Pretracca and co?

And we need to stiffen up down back.

Highmore in!

Bytel?

Bytel injured a leg...was helped off the ground.
