In: Stretch, Kent, Trengove
Out: JKH, Hannan, Bugg
Love Salem and he has more than enough $ in the bank at the moment, but he was poor today - not clean at all and doesn't look confident when it gets physical. Write that off as an off game and hope he fires up next week.
Haven't seen enough of him to make a call, but perhaps Keilty could be a handy inclusion on the account of his size?

Depends on Casey, but so far my outs would have to be.
OUT: Kennedy-Harris
IN: Kent
I want Goodwin to use Bugg to tag Sloane. If you can take Sloane out of the game as Norrrrf showed it makes a big difference on how the Crows play. Also I'm not gonna bother requesting it, but I wanna see Trengove get a shot.

The change we need is attached to the game plan.
It's not big.
We can't keep spending so much energy defending high up the ground and not scoring because it's too congested.

It is awesome because you already know the result. It's better than watching a game and hoping to win. Turnover don't hurt as much in a 10 plus goal loss.

No more protecting players is what i want to see from Goody, saw it last week via melksham, now it should be Vince's turn in the firing line.
Outs: Bugg, Vince, JKH, Wagner
Ins: Trenners (Vince roll), Stretch, Kent, Melksham (If he played okay)

Kent for JKH
Bugg needs to play as mid/wing. He isn't strong enough overhead or quick enough to play forward.
I'd like to see stretch in, I really rate his run and skill.

Bugg needs to ****ing tag, it is the best role for him but there is no point having him on the list if we don't use him in that role. FFS he is a campaigner and super fit just let him tag!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still trying to figure out how Wagner got in the team without having to show anything in the VFL, it's bizarre. Don't rate him at this point. We already have enough poor kicking and poor decision makers in our defence, why add another into the mix? Do we have anyone else who can play defence at Casey who hasn't had a go yet?

Out - Chaplin and Rawlings. Goodwin survives another week but is on notice.
Only Melbourne can turn what should have been a comfortable 10 goal victory against a limpless Hawthorn, into a loss where we only play ok in 1 quarter. Coaches can't seem to get us up for the start of matches which is really worrying, and our gameplan is pathetic tbh. Handball handball handball, get tackled or turn it over with a shocking kick, then watch our backline get burned on the rebound as they are so far up the ground there's no one in our defence. We are trying to be the Western Bulldogs yet we only have 3 or 4 blokes who can kick a footy half decent (Hibberd, Salem, Lewis and Watts). Adelaide will absolutely tear our backline to shreds next week. I'm expecting an 100 point loss tbh. Our backline is as shaky as it gets, and Adelaide have enough weapons to score heavily. I'm predicting they kick close to 180 points.
Who cares what players come in. Really. Lets rest a few? We're going to get reamed anyway. Vince is clearly out the door at seasons end, JKH has had his chance and blown it, Bugg's only good at tagging and looks lost when he has no opponent, Tyson has spiralled backwards, OMac looks out of his depth, Hannan is VFL quality and should be used as depth only, while who have we got to come back in? Melksham? Kent? Trengove? Kennedy? ANB? These guys have had their chance and have proven they aren't up to AFL standard besides the odd game. Stretch is the only one I'd bring in with confidence that he'd go ok. So bring him in for Wagner and let's try that dud Kent again for JKH. And why not try Trengove for Hannan. Surely he can't be worse!!

And as for the players:
Out: JKH, Vince, Tyson
In: Kent, ANB, Kennedy/Trengove.
Edit: being in Stretch for Tyson.
We are a ****ing rabble. Our lineup has been changing dramatically each week.

If/when we get pumped then we should be a bit more ruthless at the selection table, but for now I want to keep the team similar to what it was today. We showed signs but just didn't take our chance

Is it just me who thought Wagner was fine? He went at 80 by foot and I thought was pretty involved.

For a first game of the year I thought he did OK. Certainly gets more involved defensively than melksham
Agree with most posters here
JKH and Bugg have to go out. They don't add anything in any position (maybe Bugg as a tagger)
Vince and Omac also on edge.
Honestly I'd prefer if Vince would go out as well and as much as I hate Omac Adelaide has so many tall defenders we might need him
Kent has to play, Stretch has to play and I'd also like to see Kennedy come in as well because he is a small forward not a midfielder who rests up there and goes goal less.
Blokes like Bugg and JKH will be delisted at the end of the year

O Mac was pretty ordinary. I am not sure of Goody's strategy with some of the younger ones. Is he all about getting games into them even if it impacts overall team performance? If so fair enough I would expect O Mac in the side next week (and I'd question why hasn't Weid been afforded the same development opportunity?). If this is not his strategy ....... O Mac GTFO!
