I'll be disgusted if Charlie Curnow gets a game...

I've also heard from VFL watchers that Kennedy hasn't been that impressive for the NB's, although he has been in the best a few times? He also hasn't played for 2 weeks (will be 3 weeks by the time we play on Sunday) so not sure if that affects whether they would bring him? straight in.

Those ins/outs will do....best of a bad bunch though. I'd be still tempted to play Goddard. Marchbank offers absolutely nothing as a physical key defender. I'd happily drop Charlie and play Casboult forward and backup ruckman and bring Goddard in down back to play on Bruce and have Weitering on Membrey.
Still not sold on Lang being anything other than a depth player and right now we haven't got any depth so he probably gets a gig.
None of O'Brien or Macreadie and even Down should be back in the team until they've shown something in the VFL, including some decent foot skills.

I fear Richo and Ratten will disassemble our MC like a Lego building under attack from a baseball bat wielding leotard clad has-been radio host! :o

Gotta select the most senior side possible and play only form players (remember, BB, your pledge that we'd only play form blokes?).
Charlie is out of form and does not deserve a game.
However...
After the 'home truths' session the players have run you'd think we'll come out breathing fire and some mongrel. We know our best is good enough to wipe the floor with the Aints. (Does worry me when these player run home truths sessions are at least not facilitated by a suitably qualified and experienced person.... and that it seems the players MAY have lost confidence in their coaches, with their non invitation!!!)

I think that Lang and Fasolo have to play this week, and the Energiser Bunny (Polson) deserves another crack.
As for Charlie, I’m not convinced that his form is all that bad. He is getting the defensive attention that a key forward has to put up with and we’re still struggling with a forward structure that provides mutual support and exploits over emphasis on one or two players. I had hoped that Teague would have this sorted but we’ve got a way to go and getting hammered in the midfield doesn’t help.
I have a different take on the players’ meeting. Firstly, our leaders have had the best available leadership training and facilitating a meeting should be second nature. Secondly, it was important for the playing group to take ownership of the poor performance against GWS. Thirdly, you have to wonder whether the meeting was cooked up by Bolton, Cripps and Docherty :-\

The secrecy of it all would bother me ... and it should scare others into some form of action.

I'm not too overjoyed at the VFL report, they said they used Lang inside for 30 possessions with 8 or 10 clearances.
If that's Lang's idea of inside, it's closer to Tutt than Cripps, he basically played the sweeper role like SPS does! That's not "inside" it's "in the vicinity!"
Based on what I saw if they put Lang into the midfield instead of say Dow or Setterfield the load will further increase on Cripps!
