Prediction Changes v Richmond

[AwwThatsApples]

Yes?

I said apart from, he was going to lose form with or without playing in those games.

 

[PAFC27]

“Who doubles down when we’ve gone too far,
Who makes Cam Sutcliffe...a star?”

Who picks Sam Gray every Thursday night?
Who loses every showdown to Don Pyke?

 

[gbear]

After such a pathetic performance the changes only result due to injuries. Ken has no clue. Richmond will cream us on Saturday.

Selection of Sutcliffe joins that of Redden v the Swans 2015 and Aidyn Johnson showdown 1 2019 in the Pantheon of Hinkleys immortally inept selection decisions

Posted the above after the Brisbane farce. Ken have you ever heard of the theory of sunk losses?

 

[Magus]

This is hilarious.

 

[PAFC27]

The ring came off my coke Zero can,
Pick Cam Sutcliffe, my good man!

 

[LP7_]

I genuinely can’t think of a worse player playing AFL footy this weekend.

 

[Magus]

I don't get it, he admits the tagging thing didn't work and wouldn't be attempted again. What role is Sutcliffe supposed to play then?

 

[Enviable Tradition]

We should start doing mock game day threads during the week and see how close we can get to predicting the actual shitfest.

Maybe put up a few options for each quarter and we vote by poll?

The point is that Cam Sutcliffe is
- a 27yo Fremantle delistee
- who did not complete an AFL preseason
- who was selected after a 14 touch game
- to tag
- a tactic that did not work well
- a tactic we've open stated we won't repeat
- who managed 10 touches at 50% as a midfielder
- in a game we got smashed
- has been backed in for a further game.

Billy Frampton
- An in form, up and coming player in a position we have really struggled to develop talent in.
- Picked on form, is leading the reserves in goals averaging almost 3 a game.
- Kicked 3 the previous week against Gold Coast
- Had 9 touches as a forward in a game we struggled to enter the forward line effectively all day against Hawthorn
- Dropped

Todd Marshall
- A supremely talented blue chip tall forward prospect, again, a position where we struggle to develop players
- who has already shown plenty of that ability at AFL level
- who is coming off of one of the hardest off field situations that any teenage footballer would have to deal with with both of his parents passing away.
- who was playing solid football as a 3rd tall in a dysfunctional forward line, with statlines typical of a 10 game AFL key forward.
- dropped.

Cam Sutcliffe is continuing a storied tradition of low ceiling, low performance players with no improvement in them getting extensive AFL level games in the Hinkley era.

Any idea when they travel? I'll be at Tullamarine tomorrow and will happily provide Ken some feedback.

My first post also ignores the fact that we had Dixon out for the entire first half of the season. Why were we playing any games without an understudy replacing him? Why are the expectations of sub-20 game KPFs under Hinkley so high, but he'll let long term confirmed low ceiling, low performance players continue to spud up the field in a Port guernsey for years on end?

Imagine if every single one of Jake Neade's games had gone to John Butcher. Would we be better or worse as a football club now?

We could make a late change dropping Sutcliffe for Marshall and it would be the right decision. Hell, Marshall had 24 touches and 10 marks against the Crows in effectively the Westhoff role, sweeping back when required and using his running and reading of the play. Whatever role you've got Sutcliffe playing, pick Marshall in it and we're a better side this week and a better side going forward.

On the surface it appears that we're going to go down the tagging route again. This time will be different because we have specifically said we'll do the opposite. It's a plan so cunning that you could put a tail on it and call it a weasal.

 

[Winganeen]

s**t, I saw the changes, didn't think too much, and then checked in here by habit. Only then did it dawn on me that Sutcliffe is still in the side. WTF?

So, we're better off playing Sutcliffe than Atley, Drew, Garner or Woodcock?

R-i-g-h-t.

I did the same.

I assumed we drafted Sutcliffe purely for the Neale tag, it failed and he'd be at the Maggies until an end of year delisting.

Hey, we "terrorised" Gawn in rd1, some you win some you lose.

But wait, here he is again in the side, robbing Drew or Garner or anyone with a future a run on the G.

Fk me Ken, do us all a favour.

We've lulled Richmond into a false sense of security! Another coaching masterstroke!

 

[dirty2]

Maybe because he played with garry ablett he expects frampton and co to be like him?

 

[Coobk001]

I genuinely can’t think of a worse player playing AFL footy this weekend.

Lol he's not that bad, he just shouldn't be selected given our depth and the age profile of our list.

 

[Duck Farmer]

Hinkley is so embarrassed about what he asked Sutcliffe to do last week that he feels he owes him one.

 

[Harlott]

Feel for Dixon getting monstered every week, he genuinely looked the most frustrated after the loss last week.

Yeah when I saw that I thought it had a bit of doing it for show.

 

[Don_Kay]

Feel for Dixon getting monstered every week, he genuinely looked the most frustrated after the loss last week.

There was a point were he was screaming at the bench in the 3rd quarter.

But Port Adelaide is all cracked and broken
Sorry mom ken hinkley’s spoken

 

[HighBudget]

Koch and Keith can’t stay quiet if we lose this week, something has to happen! Keeping Sutcliffe in has to be a joke, I refuse to believe this s**t is true. What the hell is wrong with Hinkley?
