Doesn't help that a lot of rucks are a lot more athletic nowadays, so even if he gets hands up for it, he barely jumps over a tally-ho paper most days, so even with the height he's easy enough to spoil.

Have heard Hayward is a heavy chance to be back in Adelaide, but he's moving back to move back, so no guarantee we're interested or he'd pick us if us Port also wanted him.

Redman is probably ecstatic he didn't come down. Imagine recruiting a running half back and then telling him he's gotta go slow and short all game long.

The funny thing is Gollant manages decently in the ruck too, especially at ball-ups where he doesn't have to wrestle and can use his athleticism to jump.

You can argue we're playing youth, but how much of it is looking like good youth? Basically we've got Borlase is depth at best McHenry is a bust Hamill has a shotgun kick and will get himself KO'd again soon because he can't stop attacking the football with his head down Cook can't get involved...

The Ben Davis move.

I do wonder what Nicks would say if you asked him "What has Pedlar done in the SANFL that warranted a recall over debuting Dowling?" Other than previous AFL experience there's not much else I see there.

You can almost guarantee Nicks is thinking he'll go back to his preferred methods of the first month, beat an easier side like North and he'll be able to go "See, I told you this was what we needed to do to win!" to those who doubt him.

Walters didn't looked so cooked when we played them a month ago. Absolutely tore us up.

SANFL.

If it's anything like the last mob it won't get you anywhere. I essentially got told a player was lying when reporting their own injuries by the last CEO.

Maybe that's the problem. He's over focusing on the "process" and not on what the process actually leads too. Which is why he's playing favourites and blaming players. He's so convinced that if the process is followed the outcomes will then come, but if it doesn't it's because they didn't do...

Also indicating Laird gonna get more inside mid time rather than less, so cross off those move to HB hopes.

"Billy's the first to say he's working on his game and he wants to get and make sure he's ready to go" 🙄

He also talked about shuffling it around with the team in place and moving Jones or Nankervis back there.

Concerning. It's not even a question of his poor form on if he deserves straight back in, just if they think he can get through a game or not How long was Soligo out that meant there was absolutely no way he could possibly be picked for a full game?

It just makes a mockery of any sort of integrity the selectors have if he's straight in.

I can only imagine how disheartening it was for the players to have the reigns loosened for the Carlton match only to get told before the bounce against Essendon "back to short and slow, fellas!".

Matthew Nicks can start a career as a stand up comedian if they rush Murphy back.

Sholl has played his game so expect him to be yo-yo'd out of the side this week. Give him a rest to freshen up for the Power when he's inevitably recalled for whatever reason.

Yea, it's super odd, the one press conference that isn't on YouTube.

It's senseless. If we don't move to Thebby then we stay at West Lakes and we stay there long-term and use it all the time?

Dropped Lever for the 2015 finals too, which is majorly when he started getting people in his ear about leaving.

I heard a rumour that we spent very little time actually working on offensive aspects of the gameplan over summer. It was pretty much 100% focused on defensive work. Certainly shows if that was the case.

Stone is back in WA as head of footy of a private school. Wonder if he just wanted less travel or what? Did well at Glenelg and then got poached for a head of strategy job at the Lions.

We didn't drop Jacobs, he got injured which is how ROB came in. I remember at the time being PO'd because Campo was doing an interview and kept talking about when Jacobs gets his spot back. Was absolutely ZERO talk of "If ROB is playing well then Jacobs may have to earn his spot back through the...

The comment I read about "getting Nicks the players he needs" made me pause for a second and question if Nicks is throwing the players under the bus.

The I50 count we're conceding has gone up to 53 from 51.9 and giving up 25 scoring shots a game from 24.5. Expected score against last year was 78.5 and is 78 his year. So at best we're in the same position as last year while wrecking our own ability to score because of it. Our average scoring...

Our opposition has kicked so far 8.12 14.12 9.15 10.18 14.14 10.18 We're 7th best through pure luck rather than skill at this point.

You don't understand, this time they're gonna target players who might actually not have a contract with a team!
