Tex is a liability and there’s no justification for him continuing to play now in anything other than dry sunny days at AO.

Murphy’s selection was laughable. Predictably did nothing. Was he our worst? No. Do I care? No. This is a proven loser who never contributes to winning football. Go away.

Smith was absolutely horrendous once he came on. Last game of career vibes.

I’m not a fan at all, but Pedlar being subbed off in those conditions instead of Tex was complete and utter stupidity.

I was very disappointed with Berry’s second half but he should be safer than the 3 old timers who need to be rocketed to the moon.

Butts isn’t getting dropped for this game. It might happen the following week, but not against Richmond after his performance against Hawthorn.



Out:
Murphy, Tex, Smith

In:
Peatling, Draper, Edwards

Sub:
Berry
 
That game was lost at selection and I’m not even that mad that we lost otherwise nothing would change just Nicks imitating the Cheshire Cat.

He finally got the band back together Smith, Murphy and Laird and gee how dynamic were they.

Why bring in a proven under performer in Murphy straight onto the field and not even sub him but give him 4 qtrs then sub Pedlar who offers so much more….

Not quite yet - Crouch is still to come back in - experienced finals campaigner :laughing:
 
IMO?

Out: Tex, Murphy, Hinge, Smith (sub)
In: Dowling, Peatling, Edwards, Hinge (sub)

B: Michalanney, Butts, Worrell
HB: Edwards, Keane, Laird
C: Curtin, Dawson, Cumming
HF: ANB, Fogarty, Dowling
F: Keays, Thilthorpe, Rachele
R: ROB, Soligo, Rankine
I/C: Peatling, Milera, Pedlar, Berry
Sub: Hinge

Murphy will come out thankfully.

His game against Hawthorn was as bad as his game against Gold Coast and he was dropped then.
The positive about us losing

Nicks can’t use the ‘you don’t change a winning side’ excuse (and usually doesn’t after a loss, anyway)

The first statement should be reality.

The second statement was reality before it even happened.

Which one of our defensive small forwards was on Impey?

Did our coaching staff on a wet and heavy night really think our forward set up of 3 talls and 3 defensive smalls was the winning formula?

Hawks get Will Day back next time we play them at home and we are in trouble. They were also missing Worpel and a couple of their tall forwards and Sicily . We were only missing Peatling and you could say Murray although Butts is more than adequate fill in .
Day MIGHT be, and its not so much Peatling being out rather the guy we brought in
 
Peatling is an obvious in.

Aside from that, we need to find a spot for Draper, probably for Smith. If not Sid then we need to see Dowling or Edwards.

Murray will have a game under his belt but IMO thats not enough especially given how well our defence is going in general.
