There's no way they are dropping Parnell.

Doedee unlikely to play this year. Why would you play him when he multiple injuries? Worrell was superb.

Rachele for Murphy, TT for Berrg
Do not bring back Doedee for Worrell
Play Dawson on the wing
Both ROB and Strachan aren't that good. A decent ruck in the offseason would be nice.

I don't think they will take any risks with Rachele. Sounds like he still has injuries.

I'd be happy with that. Also happy for Rachelle to get some touch back in the SANFL for a week
Doedee another week out - if not, I'd look at him coming in for Hinge or Hamill (who had another week with only 3 kicks).
How about we chill on the Strachan not that good, why do people judge a 5 game player?
I've watched a lot of Strachan in the SANFL. I'm no ROB fan and would trade him for Grundy if the deal was on our terms but Strachan isn't the answer.
If he’s ok he’s in. But Worrell will also play.
We've seen last night with Keays the value of our forwards being dangerous AND playing a defensive role.
Let's aim higher than non-statistical role players.

Where can improvement be made? Do we judge on endeavour or execution?
ROB, Berg, Murphy, McHenry, and Jones all try hard but they just don’t have the class moving forward. Upgrade on these 5 and we make the finals next year.

I actually think Worrell getting dropped is moderately likely. Hope he stays in but I suspect the reason we haven't seen him until this stage this season is because they think he plays the same role as Doedee. Will be interesting to see what happens.

A bigger deal out west.
Two (maybe three) for me:
Out: Himmelberg, Hamill, (Murphy).
In: Thilthorpe, Doedee, (Rachele).
Both Thilthorpe and Doedee are automatically selected when fit, however, Worrell played well enough to be retained. Hamill is squeezed as a result.
If Rachele is ready to go, I'd bring him in for Murphy, but I'm also open to shutting him down for the year now and get him primed to hit the 2023 pre-season hard.

What was Doedee's actual injury?

Oh it's 100% of the reason why Worrell has only got two games in the last two years, seeing we've never seen Worrell as a key defender, half back or forward option, and without injury, Worrell has no chance whatsoever of overtaking Doedee (seeing our dearth of younger, experienced players). It's unfortunate that you do need some depth in third tall, seeing how ruck like it is where there are more capable third talls then there are roles in an AFL side.
That said, I think he played well enough to potentially get a rethink from us, as much as we're slaves to our depth chart.

Agreed. Can try playing both of them and see how it goes.

Cats usually play 4 defenders above 1.9m.

The leader of the bunch.
Farewell game for Josh Kennedy. What a player he's been.
Culley just elbowed someone in the face so will likely be suspended.

Yeah I am thinking that we should focus on playing some more youth in the last 3 rounds. I would like to see Taylor and Pedlar get games this year. Worrell just got a game and given his performance he must stay in. Soligo, Rachele, Berry and Hamill should also be lining up with a possibility of Cook being a regular. I know that there is a lot of love for Parnell on this board but at this stage I am not convinced. Perhaps with another preseason he might have more body strength and more distance in his kicking.
It could mean that next year we enter the comp with 8 youngsters in the line up.
