Daisy and Hudson definite ins, Frost and Fasolo strong possibilities to come in. Few cracking games of footy this weekend, can't wait!
Still no Boyd in for the Dogs, but midfield hasn't been the issue in the first couple of rounds, really. Great to see Wood back - hopefully should slot back into that pretty inexperienced defence.
He's supposed to be a leader, yet in the first 2 games he has done absolutely nothing. Neeld is right in dropping him. Not saying he has been their worst, just saying he doesn't deserve a spot in their best 22 atm.
Watts hasn't been their worst. Poor bugger was at least playing on someone/multiple players. The rest of their defenders didn't give a shit.
How is he a leader? He's 22. If he wasn't a #1 draft pick he'd be playing this week. On Fox Footy they went through 3 or 4 seperate contests where multiple Melbourne defenders left their men free, so Watts just stood in the middle of all of them to cover ground. Then when the ball came in he'd run to player and not get there in time. He was being booed because his team mates were lazy.
