We're pretty much in a full blown rebuild and signing Greenwood for 4 years really doesn't fit in with that, in both Greenwood and Keith's case the contract length 4 years they would only accept was outside what we were prepared to meet. Being contrary has nothing to do with it.

I was talking in effective terms of who is in their respective teams best 22 after being moved on.
Bloody hope Smithy gets up, has been huge for us offensively and defensively this year
Listening to Sloaney on 5AA this week, when asked about the game against North, mentioned that the likes of Sholl and Schoenberg were very impressive in the last quarter, along with Doedee and Kelly down back (mentioned a few others as well). I do distinctly remember a tap from Kelly to a teammate in space from a loose ball in the middle early in the last when North were still in the game and had outnumbered us at that contest. I know not many on here are huge Kelly fans, and I’m not a massive one either, but he’s clearly rated internally and outside of a couple of HTBs against North wasn’t that bad. His game against GC was also good. Frampton is a far more pressing concern, but Kelly’s calf may make the decision easy anyway.

Mate, nowhere did I say we should have given him 4 years, just that he would be nice to have right now with our 2nd ruck problem and obviously with our injuries. You are so quick to jump on stuff that wasn't even said.
Hately replaces one of Smith/Lynch. If both go out, then the other replacement is a tall (Worrell/Murray). We're already down 1 midfielder, with Fog having replaced Sloane. Going down a 2nd midfielder would seriously unbalance our team.

Hately for Lynch sounds good. It's time to move on from Lynch.
I'm not averse to that idea... I just don't like the idea of losing both Lynch & Smith, and replacing only 1 of them with a midfielder/runner.

Not a huge Kelly fan but he has been fine this year, he is solid and is looking to attack the game. Sure, he has been caught a few times but you have to wear that when your defense looks to take the game on.

Not on my side here doesn't.... as we should not play injured players.
Neither did proper training today. Lyncjh hasn't for 2 weeks.
Neglected to mention that Jake shirked a couple of contests, one in particular just before 1/2 time (could have been 3/4 time as my head exploded)
This may be down to confidence after the Dangerfield hit but like Lynch, shouldn’t be out there if not fit.

Smith is the one I would be very conservative with, given his knee history. I know he played the rest of the match, but I would not risk him against Freo.
You were proposing removing the following players - Kelly (medium tall), Smith (mid), Lynch (mid), and Frampton (tall), with Worrell (tall), Murray (tall), Hately (mid), and HBerg (tall). Hately & Smith cancel each other out, as do Murray/Kelly and Frampton/HBerg. That leaves Worrell (tall) replacing Lynch (mid), which is a mismatch.
We've already unbalanced our side, by bringing Fogarty in as Sloane's replacement. We really don't want to unbalance it further, by replacing another mid/running player with another tall.
** I know Lynch isn't really a mid - but he is a running medium tall, whose job description relates more to his gut running than it does to his height.
Overall wasn't impressed with his game against the Roos, but have liked he's been a bit quicker with his ball use this year and hasn't help up the play massively like he was doing in the past.
I'm not expecting to win because Freo have some quality young mids in their ranks, but we won't be without a shot at winning, especially with Freo's forward line.
Hated the sideways and backwards of past years, but he has been good this year. A couple of sideways and back against NM/Suns, but mainly playing in attacking mode. He seems to be another established player that has benefited from the change of coaching.

More concerned about Hawthorn in Launceston to be honest.
That's definitely true, Caven didn't dominate Carey but he did run off him a lot and set up a lot of offence running out of the back line...
Coaches are required to present their philosophies on football in order to get the gig. Why would Nicks' not align with Pyke's? Totally the exact same arbiters. It's still the Neil Craig club, Roo keeps that alive. Remember the final we lost purely because we trusted the experienced player with their hand up. That's our present culture, individual greater than team.
