How do you put in 3 quarters against North like that and everyone keeps their spot?
Ehh, it happened with Hinge, so it doesn’t surprise me a ton
Although I would’ve liked to have seen Hately given a full game
Just because we are winning doesn't mean an unchanged line up is the way to go. Are we giving out golden tickets already just because we are winning. Surely there are players in the sanfl we need games into. Our list and 22 don't command unchanged selections.

Posters reading into Nicks comments anything different was delusional at best.

He already did the same thing with Hinge.
I know I was certainly thinking they didn’t need another tall defender when Butts was playing on Larkey and Goldstein was out reaching his 189cm opponent and taking marks in the forward 50 last week

It also makes sense not to bring in another proper tall defender because Rory Lobb is known to be an excellent contested mark and one thing that makes you worse in that area is when you have a massive height discrepancy against your opponent
Was really concerning during Nicks mid week presser when he said he would prefer to go in unchanged every week if he could for the sake of continuity. That’s not a mindset you should have for a club in our position.

Might have something to do with there only being one or two players really pushing for selection from the sanfl games?..
worrell deserved a call up this week.. but he went backwards in todays sanfl game.. had a shocker the poor lad.. hopefully he bounces back quickly and, if they have a spot open up for him next week, they look at his body of work over the past few weeks not just his last game when deciding..
It's the continuity imperative at play. Must maintain continuity at all costs. Playing injured and out of form and even totally talentless is the outcome.
Continuity is a certain path to success. Talent and form are mere bit players.
Today is the perfect example of why Worrell should of been picked on form in the last week or two. Has a stinker today in a very very poor side so here we are having to start the whole cycle over again, build form in the SANFL, wait for an injury...
We can’t be waiting for the “perfect” opportunity to blood young talent, because there’s every chance that opportunity won’t present itself.

First poor selections this year, cannot believe they are still contemplating Kelly’s fitness on gameday. If he plays, guarantee Hately gets on in the first quarter.

We don't look for opportunities to blood young talent. It's not in our DNA.
Forced changes is the ONLY way they get in the side.

I did mention a couple of weeks ago that we weren't actually blooding that much youth.
We have been playing close to the absolute bare minimum number of young players we can with who is fit, and the maximum amount of experience
