Butt.. why.

Did you not notice that Hartigan was "managed" last week. Was always returning with another key position being rested. Probably see McAsey rested next and then after that might be the end of Harto without injuries. Definitely want to see Butts though. Butt he seems 2 spots behind what's in the selected 22.

As I watched Jones, he seemed to be chasing and reactive. Rarely saw him making his own metres. Not sure.

Our whole team are reactive.

I needed to take my socks off to count how many times we watched opponents in marking contests instead of the ball last match.
 
Smith for Crocker
McAdam for Jones
Stengle for Murphy
McPherson for Hamill
Hartigan for Talia

Seems like a safe bet for this week, and then over the next two weeks

Sloane for Mackay
Milera for Kelly
Talia for Hartigan
And then I'm not sure who Brad, and Jones for that matter, comes in for, we won't leave out Matt, so Sholl and Schoenberg look the most likely knowing our club unfortunately.
 
So I wonder who the other outs will be. Hopefully

Out: Talia, Jones, Kelly, Crocker, Hamill (concussion)
In: Hartigan, Smith, McPherson, McAdam, Stengle
You missed Murphy, I’m guessing Crocker will stay and Murphy goes out, struggle to see Kelly out unfortunately
 
Sloane for Mackay
Milera for Kelly
Talia for Hartigan

Plenty of more experienced players to drop. Kelly, Mackay, Crocker, Murphy, Seedsman, Matt Crouch, Walker all in contention. Even Luke Brown's spot is in trouble. Throw in Himmelberg as well.

Really looking forward to having Milera (actual foot skills) and Sloane (someone who actually gives a dam!) back. While Sloane does have down games, he's the heart and soul of the team.

Can really seeing him fire up the team to end the year!

Well I already had the first four out, Seedsman has been in good form and the club won't drop him, I'd obviously prefer playing Lachie and Harry over him but I can't see the club actually doing that, Walker could happen after the Geelong game, Brown out probably means Smith/Sholl play a lot more at half back

This is how I'd like to see us:

B McPherson - Talia - Doedee
HB Hamill - Butts? - Milera
C Smith - Jones - Sholl
HF McHenry - Fogarty - Lynch
F Stengle - McAsey - McAdam
R O'Brien - B. Crouch - Keays

I Sloane - Schoenberg - Laird - Brown

Sloane rotating wing/forward, Schoenberg in the guts, Laird outside mid and Brown in defence

Would not complain at all
 
Yeah but you don't drop a guy immediately after he actually performs well. Last week he was in career best form in terms of providing a contest.

Yes but this was talking about the coming weeks with Sloane, Brad Crouch, Hamill, Jones and Milera all set to return at some point
 
Not sold on him at all. Needs to put in consistent strong performances
Ok so let me see if we have this straight:

Jones - 18 games. Hey he’s just a kid we have to be patient and get games into him.

Himmelberg - 12 games. Drop him, needs consistent strong performances.

In the last 3 weeks EH has played far better than Jones in a much tougher position.

Last week he’s in the best players, ranked 5th statistically of all players. Game before he was 8th. And you want him dropped?

I didn't say I wanted him dropped this week. It was a discussion about the next few weeks of changes. I said I would consider his position in danger over the next few weeks as we get players back.

Himmelberg has played one acceptable game out of 4 attempts this year and will be under the pump to keep his spot with our young KPP stocks
