i'd make him the sub.
Haha, would be so good. You want to whinge about playing time? Have the sub vest campaigner. A real coach would do it.

I hope people don't take that WCE game's clearance differential as a signal of anything other than their midfield being a complete shambles.

I'm not defending Clarry (I think the mix is better with him out of the team with the form he's in), it's just WCE are that bad I don't think it really tells us anything.

West Coast's ineptitude aside, what about Clayton Oliver's (current) game can not be replicated by Petracca, Viney, Langford, Rivers and Pickett?

Not trying to pile on, but that group all has more than one string to their bow:
  • Petracca's ability to win clearances, get involved in scoring chains and provide a threat in the forward half
  • Viney's ability to win clearances while playing a negating role on the opposition's best mid
  • Langford's ability to win clearances, provide spread from the contest and make smart decisions/hit targets with his kicking
  • Pickett's ability to win clearances, burst out of stoppages, provide run and carry and hit the scoreboard
  • Rivers' ability to win clearances, provide run and carry, and play the 'spitter' role off the back of stoppages
  • Oliver's ability to win clearances and...?
Everything else aside, I just look at Oliver's inclusion and what it does to the wider team. Do we want Oliver in if it means less (and probably zero) mid time for Langford and Rivers?

I only watched the first half when West Coast were still in the game but man they were horrible. Their skills were absolutely appalling. Was a embarassing we took as long as we did to put them away.
