I think you're wrong. 8)
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

Dude, you led your original post with a "dare" regarding your injury list.
I responded to your dare with a very lengthy list of quality players who were unavailable on Friday night for the team that very few expected to win and that beat you by 48 points in highly convincing fashion.

Heck, I'm as shocked as you were, dude, that we won, and by so much, but when the first line in your post talks about your injury list what do you think is going to be the response?

Maybe you're not a dude with this logic...
read it again.
I was not saying we lost because of injuries, I was responding to booney saying our depth will be exposed and I was saying most sided depth will be exposed with those outs. I then said we played shit.

Facts are we put the same amount of blokes on the field as Collingwood, fit or otherwise and they gave us a touch up and deserved the win.

Greewood and EY are not up to it. Can carry them with Sloane, Gibbs and M Crouch in there, take 1-2 out and they are exposed over 4 qtrs.

Pyke also got out coached 2 fold. Firstly at selection, surely he has the BOM app on his phone, and he kept the same structure (at no stage did we have 6 FWDs). When the side cant kick a drop punt, the one thing you can control from the box is to atleast have 1 on 1s to create a contest down the line and try and get some field position. We didnt, we kept shanking them straight to the lose man and watch it go back over our head. Baffling!

And I said other than M.Crouch and Smith who is missing from your best 22?

B.Crouch is a bonus when he's fit, unfortunately he can't get his body right so you can't really count him, but for this exercise I'll allow it.

Who else?

Basically add, Riley Knight who came back in the ressies on weekend and IMO Sam Gibson would be playing. Tex and Sloane clearly hindered but if they put their hand up to play, no excuses!

Walker, Lynch, Sloane and to a lessen extent Talia and Betts all playing underdone but that's the risk you take going in if you go down that path.
Knight and Hampton can come in

"I challenge any side to be the same with that calibre either out or playing injured"
Challenge met.

And, don't call me Dude or I'll become unglued.

unglued? Is that a threat?
I know you're certainly not a dude judging by your stubbornness in not listening to a full story, but if I want to call you a dude, I will

M.Crouch, Smith*, Knight and Hampton would come in.

( I'd be worried about Hampton too, he can't seem to get out on the park with any continuity )

There's no doubt the coaching group at the AFC is an astute group, yet they keep picking Milera to contradict that assumption.

Betts the other.

Still doesnt address the problem of 18 tall forwards in the modern game of 1-3 at max. also doesnt give you a pressure forward or two which is also essential in the modern game. Dont get me wrong i think Don should be stubborn and do it his way ;)

Alex Keath is still out injured which may be why we can’t give Talia a rest
