I think Pedlar and Peatling out for Smith and perhaps Taylor? Would love for someone to really stand up in the SANFL this week like Edwards or Dowling and demand to be selected
 
What on earth just happened.

After catching my breath, I would go…


Out:
Peatling (susp), Pedlar (he’s just not good and I don’t understand why anyone thinks he is)

In:
Dowling, Taylor

Sub:
Smith


Notes:
1) If it’s wet, TEX MUST NOT PLAY. For crying out loud, in the second half Tex was a complete and utter liability. He had 1 possession in that half and allowed his man to take half a dozen marks. Stop flogging the dead horse.

2) Berry only survives due to Peatling’s suspension. He was a liability tonight.

3) Hinge is on notice. Is the worst player in our back 7 at present and honestly, if we dropped him to bring Smith back in to the 22 I wouldn’t care.

4) Hawthorn do have a smaller than average forward line, so perhaps Butts being dropped to bring Smith back into the 22 also gets discussed.

5) If Neal-Bullen is injured, don’t pick him. He was atrocious tonight and didn’t look fit at all to me.

6) Would be great if someone mentioned to Izak that you actually have to try to be an AFL midfielder.

Dowling over Draper is an interesting choice

Not sure what the obsession with Draper is. Good potential, but hasn't shown anything yet.

Other choices ahead of Draper

Such as?

Anyway, this week looks to be an easy one:

In: Draper, Nankervis (sub)
Out: Peatling (susp), Smith
 
Dowling over Draper is an interesting choice
Dowling has been consistently excellent at SANFL level for a month (or more).

Draper needs a block of a few full SANFL games to build his confidence IMO. His last couple of AFL appearances have been poor.

Regardless of who replaces Peatling, we were HORRENDOUS at stoppages tonight, and somehow getting the win should not mask that.
 
Out : Smith, Tex

Who knows who comes in…

So pleasantly surprised on Milera’s game he was very good.

Berry shows glimpses but not 100% locked in , Pedlar building does some very good things.

Our midfield issues won't improve through personnel changes. The only player at risk (excluding Peatling and his suspension) is Berry who didn't rise to the level

Our issues were Dawson being awful for 3 quarters, Rankine being awful all game and Soligo being extremely out of form and poor until he tagged Neale out of the game in the last

I wouldn't be devastated if Dowling played but I don't think him playing makes much of a difference.

Our three best mids have to show up
 
Peatling suspended. Pedlar would be pretty close to omission, you'd think. Smith should be out.

Yo-yo Draper back into the sub vest? Bring back someone who has been given a bit of a chance this year and underwhelmed (Taylor? Nank?), give Dowling a crack, try a debutant (Tassie a great place to do our usual bring in a debutant then send them back to the SANFL for 12 months?).

We’ve somehow got by with our midfield being down (for weeks), but they really need to get their shit together
