Absolute load of ******** decision, one bad game and they are gone. Talk about a pathetic double standard.

And how would you have handled the situation wizard? surely you are not suggesting that there should'nt have been changes.
There had to be a couple of gold passes revoked.
If there wasn't even I would have joined the 'sack the coach bandwagon"
Everybody will be putting in this week I reckon.
Dockers football manager Robert Shaw said no one was safe in the Fremantle team in 2006 and warned other big names would follow if they did not improve their performances.
"Places (in the team) will come at a premium this year. We've made three changes, it could have been six," Shaw said.
"While we want to make it clear we're not blaming Heath Black and James Walker for the performance of the team at the weekend, it would be fair to say the selectors had to be slightly restrained that a few other bigger names weren't joining them.

Hope Hayden plays a blinder ....
Good to have him back ....
CC needed to send a strong signal, even if he has failed to do so in past seasons. I agree with Ripper that some big names had to be sat out this week.
It's a shame that they are two of our quicker players and we are at Subi though.
well we got replacements with 2 quicker players
I like the look of this team a lot. Walker was always going to come under scrutiny with the new policy of foot skills being important.
Black is simply out of form.

It's come 12 months too late IMO. After a disappointing 2004, CC should have got tough last year.
Great to see Hayden back. Both Hayden and Walker are best suited on the oppositions best small forward, if Connolly isn't going to play Walker in that position I'd prefer Hayden because he is much more damaging when we have the ball.

Agree 100%....Walkers best possie is definitely back pocket, he is alot more accountable than Schammer....so Hayden is the only choice, if Connolly refuses to play Walker back there.
Re Heath Black, hopefully a run at South's gets him hungry & back in form, as we need his long range kicking asap....but he is still listed as an emergency, so it wouldn't surprise me if he still plays.
Re Murphy, probably a bit unlucky, would have been a good match up for Whitnall if he played at CHF...but he'll be back
Murphy needs to be more hungry and put his body on the line which he hast done.
As for rodger the doger he is hopefully in the backline and send Schammer back on the wing, pitty no cook in the centre sqaure he always places body on the line to get the ball.
Belly has to play in the sqaure please.

If Carlton play 3 tall forwards I guess Grover will have to take the 3rd tall, with Parker and Johnson covering the other 2. I think JLo will spend a lot of time forward again to expose their lack of experienced tall defenders.
Is Dodd certain to play after the knock he got last week? A late change of Dodd for Black wouldn't surprise.
