You forget, I watched his U18 championship games ......he just hasn't developed his game

Frampton doesn't have the tricks to be a big forward .....Himmelberg has far greater scope in his game

Frampton, think of a Peter Wright type, that runs towards the ball only .....you need to be able to lead laterally, or turn your opponent, as a forward
You forget, we've seen Poholke dominate the SANFL for 18 months

He's being overlooked for a few, that are stepping over him now .....he should be first choice now, but McAdam walks past, McHenry walks past, and I'll suggest Schoenberg will too
 
We just need someone to make a contest in both ruck and forward line. Tex is not doing much of either in the past two games.

Oh I'm 100% dropping Tex this week if it was my decision. I'm more interested in finding out if Himmelberg or Frampton have it then waste games on Tex now.

I'll reserve judgement until the 4 are cut but if it's McAdam and Gibbs for Seeds and Rat I'll be very disappointed.
 
There is an element of that.

However we are asking him to do more this year than we have in a while, and that's killing him IMO. You either leave him forward and don't contemplate him rucking or you drop him.
Surely you're not dropping him for his ruck work?

I'm happy to play Berg or Frampton ahead of him but not for their ruckwork.

Better to have a forward who rucks for 5mins than a ruck who plays forward for 90mins and does it badly

Ok seeds out. Well deserved.

Frampton getting the nod over Himmelberg is surprising and we know McAdam is debuting.

Still... ugh. Gibbs.
Well they're both in the squad so they haven't decided yet

What I'm saying is don't have him do it, and leave him forward.

If they persist with him in the ruck then that's wasting time
 
Bench is M. Crouch, Gibbs, Poholke, Walker, Hartigan, Frampton, McAdam and Himmelberg

Christ, I reckon I would win a 2km time trial against that lot.

IN: Gibbs, Poholke, Hartigan, Frampton, McAdam, Himmelberg
OUT: Atkins (shoulder), Seedsman
Piss weak really.. only one a definately omit at this point is Seed... can think of at least 4 others that should be definately omitted..

laird, Murph, walker and lynch.

and what the **** is the point of playing a cooked gibbs?.. is he gonna be there for our next finals series?... nope.
 
Hamill on the wing, I like it, I like it a lot.
Ned named on ball too.

By the AFL app Walker and Matt are the last two named. Most times it comes from the last 4 named that are dropped which includes Harto and Frampton too.
 
It would take a fair bit of courage to drop Walker. I'd be happy with us not dropping Matt Crouch if it meant we dropped Walker

Out: Atkins, Seedsman, Walker
In: McAdam, Poholke, Himmelberg

Disappointing the bench has Hartigan and Gibbs instead of Butts and Schoenberg/Gallucci/anyone
 
I'm not going to melt yet, wait for the 22. Tell me this, we play Seedsman in a role he's simply not suited to and then drop him from there. Hopefully it's Poholke into the midfield mix, McAdam into the forward line, Ned to go further up the ground. EH for Tex would be a bonus, but as long as Gibbs isn't an in, then I'll be reasonably happy with the changes this week. But there'd better be a few guys on their absolute last chance as well.
