Go Pies... the best looking team for a while
Spot on nulla. Leroy's value in the team is when used as a swing man/utility/Ruck relief not as the key forward. But that doesn't mean he can't sneak forward as the third tall every now and then to try and jag a goal.
Never disperse your focus unless absolutely necessary. Face one adversary at a time!

*Highly doubt Nick will be right to go against Sydney with Tyson his natural replacement. After being in and out of the team last season Goldsack was one of the better performed players during finals. Injuries and illness have hampered his year but after a couple of good displays in the VFL should be right to go. One could argue as a pure defensive player he's a better option than the captain.
Out:Fraser(omit)
In:Dawes
*Josh was poor in the Queens birthday clash and average at best in his previous two outings. Whether it be a result of age, inury or just a slump in form he's not performing at a level that warrants a place in the 22 at this stage. Dawes has his critics and areas of his game that still need improvement but he's a player on the rise who's shown enough in his 6 games this season to believe he's worth persisting with. Should be played deeper in the f50 for longer periods and given space to lead like any full forward.
Out:Medhurst(rest)
In:Didak
*If Medhurst is not close to 100% fit then he needs to once again be placed on the sidelines. We can't afford to carry him for another season in the hope he'll come good. He won't. Need him at his best come September, over the last 2 weeks he hasn't been anywhere near that level.
Out:Barham(omit)
In:Ball
*I feel a little sorry for Barham as he was thrown to the wolves somewhat in this game, being asked to fulfil a role not familiar to him against a quick, highly skilled and experienced opponent. What a surpise he failed.
If Ball doesn't come up for the clash against Sydney I'd consider elevating Blair.
Out:Macaffer(omit)
In:Johnson
*Ben Johnson had a very good 9 weeks before a dip in form in his previous 2 games but he still has a couple of credits left in the bank. I believe Macaffer still has a lot to offer the side and will be back before the season is out but after playing 12 games straight at AFL level might benefit in going back to VFL for a few weeks in the hope he can rack up some big numbers.
Players under the microscope:L.Brown, Lockyer, Davis, Shaw
Players in line for senior selection:Buckley, Rounds, *Blair
*Rookie who'd need to be elevated.
I'll be giving psychic readings after 6pm tonight.
