3 changes is sufficient..King, Webster & Windhager in
What if Ross is superstitious and he doesn't like odd numbers? 8-) :wink:

Seriously though…if Gresh is fit, I think someone else gets dropped and we have 4 changes.

Byrnes is an absolute list clogger. Butchers the ball more often than not, and has no penetration with his kicking. Yes, he can run all day long, but I cringe every time he has the ball in his hands.

So he’s a younger version of Seb?

Byrnes is not fit to tie Seb's boot laces. I would say not fit to wipe his arse but that's a bit too crude for this forum. :wink: :evil: :twisted:

Byrnes has lifted his career output by 33% in 9 games, in his 4th season and has doubled his tracked kilometres. Merely because he does the work and the coaches have faith in him. He has earned 50 more games to see what he can do.

If he gets to 100, he will be fine.

We need another 3 playmakers with better foot/hand skills/decision making to be a genuine contender.

We are certainly not combining anywhere as well as the best 2 sides.

We would have had that if we'd drafted Petracca, The Bont and Bailey Smith.

No use blaming anyone but the recruiters (certainly not the players), as we are stuck with their choices.

Byrnes has improved markedly this year - and is providing plenty of run and energy. Can't blame him.

Direct your angst at the recruiters.

The Daicos' kick out on the full, miss handballs. Byrnes is ok and will improve with experience. Composure will get better accordingly.
He can kick a distance.
I cringe at our forwards positioning and running patterns.
RB is a keeper to be persevered with.
