Rd 17 : Pre Game polite and refined discourse - Blues v Eagles

[Baggers]

Seriously? Piece of p...!
Out Thomas (inj), Casboult (susp), Walker (ret)
In Jones, Jaksch, Buckley.

I suspect that Boekhorst will get the nod ahead of Jaksch. And you'd flick Everitt before Walker... at least Walker will tackle and has a little mongrel, and can be played anywhere (though his form, like Everitt, does not deserve senior selection but the cupboard is bare at present re replacements).

Buckley for Thomas is logical and we get a bit more run.

I agree with Capt CRASH that Curnow probably needs another game or two in the NBs along with Gorringe.

Jones for Levi seems obvious but wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being Gorringe (straight back without NBs time).

We've been conservative with changes for most of the year, so, in reality, will probably be minimal changes - 2 out, 2 in and we'll get to groan at Everitt's lack of effort some more. The number of times he has given up early on chases and/or just stood around over the past few weeks is simply breathtaking.
