That's why I only put him as sub, even then it's a pretty desperate move but who else is sub, Delean?
Simpson didn't play last week.
Worner, Voss and Wagner haven't played in longer.
Only other option is Brodie and send Fyfe or Jaeger forward.
I'm all for putting our last first-round pick on the table for Baker now. I'd love to pinch him for St Kilda's second, but they'll demand more with what we have. We need a mature head in the forward-line and it wouldn't hurt to have someone who has been there.
Use the other two first rounders...
Schultz was the same early on, I genuinely didn't think he'd make it after his first year - which I was disappointed about because I liked his highlights when we drafted him. It wasn't until we brought LeCras on for a little while that his skills improved and he started to add a few tricks to...
I've been a big fan of Aish since we got him, he's what I consider an A-grade role-player. Not a game-breaking talent, but consistently good to very good.
FB: Aish Pearce Ryan
HB: Clark Draper Walker
C: Brayshaw Fyfe Sharp
HF: Banfield Treacy Erasmus
FF: Walters Amiss Jackson
FOL: Darcy Young Serong
INT: O'Meara Johnson Emmett Hughes
Sub: Simpson
I hate that I had to drop Tabs, he's performed about as well as we could have expected after a long...
I'm not saying we need to panic, I'm paraphrasing JLs press conference, we'll just go with the best two available which is JOM and Ras.
Although I realised I completely forgot Darcy, so I've got some thinking to do.
We know JL values stability and that we're not panicking over one game, so...
Outs: Frederick, Switkowski
Ins: O'Meara, Erasmus, Simpson (sub*)
*You know it's true.
The mental gymnastics to get to the conclusion that your team was just 'off' and not challenged by a strong defensive unit is embarrassing.
"Fumbly and disconnected"... Almost as though they were under pressure? Like they felt challenged, or something.
You still won, it's ok dude. Playing down...
I don't mind being a defence first team, I think we've just invested too much draft capital in our backline (and midfield) over our forward-line.
Since we started the rebuild we've had:
Logue (KPD that left for opportunity)
Brayshaw and Cerra (midfielders, one gone)
Sturt (medium forward that...
Silly me going to the shops instead of staying to argue with a numpty. Just going to ignore the other premiership mentioned?
It's almost like you believe good teams are good because they're entertaining, rather than they're entertaining because they're good teams.[emoji3061]
I'm not blaming the loss on Amiss, I'm saying we're clearly not incapable of contending with the top teams.
This bump is just a cheap excuse to grind an axe with a coach who has already exceeded most outsiders expectations of him this year.
Literally Amiss kicks straight and we're not having this conversation. Idgaf if opposition fans enjoy watching us or not.
Maybe Carlton should be concerned they nearly lost to such a poorly-coached rabble. Clearly pretenders, should've won by 10 goals with that forward-line, what a waste of talent.
I think we need to try him in Emmett's spot, Erasmus needs AFL experience and we need more forwards. Tell him to pressure, harass and snag a goal when he can.
Collingwood going for Schultz was like the Bulldogs going for Lobb, just made no sense to invest that much capital in an area they were already strong in.
