Crouches actions don’t disappear between frames.
You think his hands suddenly went down between these frames?
He didn’t go for the ball before contact.
There’s no argument against that.
You just can’t do it.
Butters at least made it look like he was going for the ball.
Just like a spoil from behind, you’re probably going to get done for punching someone in the face before the ball is in the vicinity vs someone punching the head at the same time the ball is there.

Couldn't disagree more.

If you reach the point where you realise that your best team with all role players included ain't winning anything worth a pile of beans then the focus has to move to how we can build a team that wins.

There is no point soldiering on with a middling team with no improvement in them.

If what you're saying was the case, Greg Matthews would have kept twirling away and Shane Warne wouldn't have had the chance to average over 300 with the ball early in his test career, or to take 700 wickets later.

The problem with that thought is the only time you can genuinely do something about building that team is in the offseason. Whether that's a case of getting a new coach and vision in, or beginning to refresh by trading out players. In season, you're just hoping some tactical changes can jolt the team in the short term, but there is no thought to the long term with those moves. Take the example I laid out, If Ned fails it goes to, lets say, Pedlar because he's the next likely to succeed there in the short term. If Pedlar fails, Dowling, and so on. Eventually, you just settle and accept you're going to need to draft someone, if no one sticks. It's why teams keep going back to the same players first. The depth chart rules all and the only thing that matters is next week. The inverse is true. If a position is blocked by a good player performing at a solid click, the prospect - even if they scope to be better long term - is going to be stuck in the twos. It's just that the good player might get moved on in the offseason if they don't have a contract, or pushed to seek a trade.

Shane Warne in that scenario gets a game because Australia does not have a solid, and in form spinner at that point. Mind you, if Greg Matthews - or Peter Taylor, who was the incumbent at that time - were getting wickets at a solid rate and not averaging ~90 and ~60 in 1991--1992, Shane Warne does not get that opportunity. There are two ways selection works: Crisis -> next man up or someone has made a complete mockery of the 2s' and needs to be selected. We can call that the Glenn McGrath scenario, or Reilly O'Brien harking back to his one week in the SANFL.

Again, I fundamentally disagree

The game itself is the best teacher of all. Experience playing at the level, experience playing with elite players, experience playing against elite players, exposure to the intensity required, exposure to the fitness required - all exceptionally valuable.

Soligo's last couple of years have been invaluable. On the job training.

If he'd done all the training sessions and "off season building" but played only in the SANFL then he'd be a long way behind where he is now.

That's why it's worth picking a potential Soligo ahead of a solid, slightly older role player. Even though there are no guarantees and the role player will likely produce better and more consistent football in the short term than the potential Soligo.
 
9 News reported than Pedlar the likely sub.

Bloody hell, McHenry clinging on to his (or Murphys) spot like moss on a rock.

Pedlar as sub would be idiotic.

He’s out of form. Missed a game. Played one game, only saw the first half and didn’t look great, supposedly improved in the second half?

He needs games to get his form and confidence up, not to play a qtr of footy.

No friggin way McHenry can play another game. He’s been horrid all year. If Pedlar was dropped for form, no ******* way McHenry can survive.
 
Mchenry will be dropped when murphy is no longer injured. What do you expect from such a dud coach.

Our subs have played some great games so far this season, touch wood.

We should be moving Nank to HF and bringing in Ryan or playing Curtin in HF. We can drop McHenry for one of those 2 options.
Berry in for Crouch
Borlase for Butts

Laird still on limited rotations in the middle
 
I dont mind Peds as sub.
Gives him a short burst to have a red hot go.
The confidence Berry would've got from last week will catapult his game.
Peds is a high impact player. He just needs a couple of good plays and he will be back.
 
I'd be happy with Ped's as a sub..Have to get him back around the group. I watched the GC game again and he was instrumental in 3 of the 4 measley goals we scored up until the 16th minute of the last quarter. No doubt , after a couple of heavy head knocks in that game and then getting thrown to the wolves up against Stewart sapped the life out of his confidence.
