At some stage this season we need to give Gallucci and Poholke a 5 week block otherwise they will carry no trade value .

We must explore the equity of our list .
I think the "no trade value" train has already left the station.

Neither is a standout player at SANFL level, they are clearly not AFL standard.
 
I like the idea of giving Poholke some midfield minutes and also testing out Galucci again. I like the look of Schoenberg but can he play afl midfield minutes? Jones and McHenry are so far off it at the moment in terms of playing regular midfield minutes
 
In: Sholl, Gallucci, McAdam, Butts, Schoenburg, Himmelberg (or Frampton), Poholke, O'Connor.

Out: Brown, Laird, Matt Crouch, Brad Crouch (though, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being ink), Walker, Atkins (inj), Smith, Murphy.

Yeah, look, time to change it up. It'll be raw as fu**, but we need hunger in the side.

Go for a lineup of:

Kelly (he can replace Brown) - Talia - Doedee
Sholl - McAsey - Hamill
Jones - Sloane - Keays
Gallucci - Himmelberg/Frampton - Lynch
Crocker - Fogarty - McAdam
ROB - Jones - Ned
INT: Seedsman, Poholke, O'Connor, Schoenburg.
Jones is talented but not good enough to be playing 2 positions at once.

I rate him very highly by the looks of thing ;)

The wing was supposed to be Seedsman.
 
Let’s be honest. There is no way we are beating Brisbane so let’s bring in the kids and let them have a crack and drop some underperforming senior players

scrap what ever joke of a game plan we are playing. Play Man on man and back the kids to just play
 
Out: Walker; In: Frampton
Out: Seedsman; In: Schoenberg
Out: Atkins (inj.); In: Gallucci
Out: Murphy; In: McAdam
Out: Lynch; In: Davis
This is a better arrangement of ins and outs.

Forward zone
Out: Murphy - just not doing enough, needs a rest. In: McAdam
Out: Lynch
- he needs a real as he isn't offering enough and the alternative can. In: Davis
Fog, Tex, Crocker to stay.
There is a need to throw in Frampton, Berg or Fish up forward but our problems are happening before that. That being said I would like to see either Butts come in, Fish up forward, OR, bring in Berg/Frampton.

Out: Laird - what is he offering that is positive at the moment? Still or Macpherson as a replacement next to Hamill
Out: Seeds - lost his run and confidence, Smith only barely better.
out: M Crouch - Brad tried but Matt was putrid. Sloane wasn't right and neither was Kelly.

Gooch or Poholke to come in as one if the reolacements

Disagree about Tex.
Happy for Fog to stay as he is our future. Tex is offering nothing, he is slow, can't mark and is getting beaten by players half his age. Have to see who out of Himmleberg or Frampton can hold down the CHF spot. He is cooked and has been for over a year.
I am all for the Berg getting first go. All he has to do is lead to the ball, make a contest and give ROB a chop out in the ruck. We then need at least one forward possibly two forwards to actually stay in the forward line and our small forwards to be front and square. The joe the goose goal isn't working anymore, we are getting sucked up the ground way too much.
How many more times do we need to see us actually win the football and get it past the wing only to look up and have no-one to kick it to. Drives me absolutely spare.
 
Out: Walker Lynch Atkins Murphy Kelly Keays McHenry
In: Mcadam Schoenberg Davis Hartigan Gallucci Mcpherson/Sholl

Brown Talia Doedee
Laird Hartigan Hamill
Sloane Smith Seedsman
Davis Fogarty McAdam
Gallucci McAsey Crocker

ROB BCrouch Jones

MCrouch Schoenberg Sholl/McPherson Worrell/Gollant

I agree with others that it is time to see Galucci and Poholke for an extended period. How much worse could it be
How many more chances do you give Gooch? We don't need another great SANFL player but blah AFL player to get to 100 games. Already have Mackay and Atkins filling that role. Has to be Shoenburg and Davis for at least 3 games.

Murphy simply has to go he has kicked 1 goal this year and only a couple more in the last 4-5 in 2019! Yes he busts a gut but so does my Cattle Dog and he's a duffus - offers little other than effort way over time to trial McAdam.
To be fair, we've only managed to kick 9 goals as a team over the past two weeks!

Yeah he's not doing enough although it seems rough to drop one of the few guys that actually seems to run hard at the opposition. Right now more than half our team isn't even playing with effort which is what's so alarming.
 
How is D Talia escaping scrutiny? He talks a big game but doesn't deliver it himself. Sure, he's strong, but he's as slow AF, useless kick, and holds up any movement out of the backlines as much as anyone.

Out - Lynch, Murphy, Atkins, Keays,
Reprieve, because you can't drop everyone - Walker, Smith, Laird, Talia, Crouchx2
Reprieve, because still wearing 'L' plates or is a newbie. - McHenry, Crocker, Jones

In - my fat Aunty, my dead grandmother, my cat.
 
On retrospect of the past two weeks, I have concluded that I am now so over Matt Crouch not winning a clearance, then doing sideways and dinky kicks and hanbslls to his brother or the trademark across the body high hack to nobody that I would take Gibbsbin the centre over him.

Gibbs knows what it's like being in this position as a club and fighting to get back at least.
 
Makes me laugh how so many people on here think we should bring in guys like Gooch, Poholke, Himmelberg and Frampton. Four blokes who def aren’t part of our future.
Gooch the best of the lot but likely to be moved on end of the year.
