Weird how players struggle to knock the door down when they are pushed out of the middle to fit in never weres like Richard Douglas.
It really just an insight into the MC's thinking that playing Douglas there will give the best opportunity to find a bit of form so he can come back into the "A" team

smh
 
I agree. Maybe I'm not seeing the 'role he plays'.............
Personally feel he needs to be developed into a tagger. Has elite endurance and can tackle. Not a bad learning curve either on the best mids. Shutdown Selwood a few times.
 
Didn't we spend half the season playing Fogarty in defence?

What was the point of that?
Did you watch a single game Fogarty played in defence in the SANFL?

What he proved was that at this stage he wouldn’t get a game in defence in any other SANFL club.

NEXT........

Yeah so what was the point again?
 
Will be great watching Gibbs, Douglas and Greenwood play 99% midfield time on the weekend while Jones and Gallucci dig some graves
At least we're innovative in that we have pioneered the grave yard position. I'm sure Patty Wilson is going to have a lot of fun this weekend.
 
Please enlighten me? Not many youngsters knocking on the door. Im not talking about our 2018 draft crop. Wheres the years prior? Not much coming through and our 22 barely looks different year on year. We are forced to play the regulars as no one is demanding their spot.

Why is it as a club we do not have guys 'knocking down the door' (how I hate that cliched expression entrenched in AFC vernacular) with more notice and affect ?
 
So youve mentioned majority of our draftees of 2018. The cupboards bare otherwise of what we had b4 them. Gallucci looking like being a flog imo. Macpherson looking a bust. Fog has stagnated. My point being we havent developed much talent the past 3 to 4 years knocking out the likes of Mackay, which is reflected in us playing one of the oldest sides in the league.
Disagree on Gallucci, Fogarty is in a 2nd year blues (IMO) and needs a position to open up in the forward-line (we tried him in the back-line unsuccessfully early in the season in the SANFL), McPherson has been injured most of the 2 years he has been drafted but when he manages to get on the field, he looks like he has potential so I wouldn't write him off yet.

Imagine trying to get midfield minutes in the 2’s.
If I were Jones, just run off the square after the bounce & play midfield. Same for Gooch.

Agree. Nothing is showing at the 'youth' angle for the club.....and is this problem the chicken or the egg ?

Greenwood will be buggared after 15 mins... but yeah, I agree.

Betts and Greenwood deserved to be dropped, and I don’t think anyone can begrudge Wilson getting a go. He’s earnt it. The unfortunate issue we had last weekend was that the SANFL team stunk it up as much as the AFL team leaving the selectors with not much to reward.
Shouldn't judge players on 1 game though.

At least one, preferably both of Gooch & Jones should have come in.
 
Chayce has had 2 stinkers in a row. I want him in the AFL team as well, but I can see why he’s not.
Gooch?

We clearly need pace.

At least 1 had to come in if the match committee actually watched our recent games...

Also, we have played Jones out of position so our senior players can lose the game.
