I’m going to be a little off centre with the majority here but I thought Drew was okay, not great.
The reason for this is he has a lot of almost moments. His disposal under pressure is okay but he misses targets, slip to much, noticed this week and last.

not droppable but needs to be fixed as I feel he’s keeping Rocky out
 
Lol we are not dropping Dixon.
Nor should we.

People on this board confuse 'not performing up to expectation' with droppable. Dixon isn't playing at his best but who's gonna come in and play his role better? Ladhams? Hayes, who's a good talent but isn't a natural forward? Ollie ****ing Lord? No chance.

Hartlett on the other hand, McKenzie or Lienert could easily outperform what he's given us this year.

Dixon is droppable but it wouldn't be replacing his role it would be a forward line rejig, I wouldn't mind a look at it purely to see a different mix but I'm not doing it in a hasty reaction to last night although I agree with Derm he looked tired if that continues a rest is on the cards.

Yes, runs hard to either get on the end of other people's hard work

Lol. Yes, he's a half forward, that's literally his role. If we didn't have players getting on the end of other people's hard work then we'd never kick any goals.

Soft, fumbly and when the going gets tough is only ever found turning the ball over.

The last time the going got tough against this week's opponent he literally won the game for us off his own boot.

Do you think Rocky SPP and Wines is the way to go?

I think he’s given us a different dimension in the midfield.

Part of me thinks Ken will just revert to the same old as soon as he can.
 
Georgiadis? You can’t be serious

the kids a gun and had a great start to the season.
Georgiades was very poor last night, just invisible, and has had some excellent games, okay games, and not so good games this year.

for a 19yr old key forward whose kit bag is playing deep and flying for marks this should be expected and we should absolutely persist with him and continue to develop him.
 
I’m sure Ladhams comes in again soon, still don’t think we function that well from mid-forward half.

It’s a bit of a quandary.
Ladhams doesn’t deserve his spot..

but since we’ve been rucking Dixon and Marshall our forward line has functioned worse and those players have played worse.

Absolutely must be outs - Hartlett, Mayes. Insipid performances for multiple weeks

Strongly considered to go out - woodcock
Offered nothing without strong recent form to save him

if really cutting - Fantasia, Frederick
Good recently but insipid performance last night. Probably safe but If these players have a poor game next week have to go out.

consider themselves extremely lucky - Dbj! If jones was healthy would drop Dbj for him in a heartbeat. Disgusting performance and has been bad this year. Drinking his own bath water on the back of his all-Aus year.

Houston is either not close enough to 100% or a soft****. Needs a rest or a rocket!

burton may miss due to injury.

pending today’s game considerations have to go to Rockliff, lienert, McKenzie and bonner first, and ladhams or hayes if our forward structure / 2nd ruck is an issue we want to address.
 
It's comical that McKenzie can't get a game with all of our current outs. He's actually a very versatile player and could fill just about any role yet he's being pigeonholed as a key defender only whilst we play the likes of Mayes and Woodcock. It's actually beyond a joke.
Ken Hinkley is a pig-headed coach. His stubbornness briefly went away last year, but we all knew he'd get comfortable after scoring another undeserving large contract extension and the stubborn arrogance would return.

This week will be a good opportunity for our Vice Captain to put on the bars. Hartlett has to be dropped. He won't, but he should be.

I also wouldn't be against remixing our tall forwards but I don't see anyone knocking down the door so don't know how we can.
