Let Lynch do the back up job for ROB..My preference:
Out: Frampton, Fogarty
In: TT, Hately
** Depending upon injuries to Lynch, McAdam & Smith
I'd really like to be selecting Pedlar instead of Hately, given what I saw of him in the pre-season and read about his SANFL performance last week. Unfortunately, I think he's still a bit short of a gallop, and needs another 1-2 SANFL games to get himself match-fit. Even so, I'd still be tempted to bring him in, even if he only plays half a game - I really rate him that highly.
Dropping Frampton is a no-brainer. He's literally been worse than useless for 2 weeks running. TT probably still has aspects of his game which need attention, but Frampton's form demands dropping and Himmelberg is not a viable alternative at this point in time.
Dropping Fogarty for Hately (or Pedlar) goes some way towards fixing the midfield deficit created by replacing Sloane with Fog.
I wouldn't be completely averse to dropping Frampton, bringing in Hately (or Pedlar), and leaving Fogarty in as the 2nd forward. We certainly can't play Walker/Fog/Frampton in the same forward line, but I could live with Walker/Fog. Of course, this leaves us without any ruck support for ROB...
My preference:
Out: Frampton, Fogarty
In: TT, Hately
OK - have you seen any of Thilthorpe, Pedlar, Himmelberg or Hately play any game-time since the start of the season? Actually watched them play in a game (not highlights) ... before this judgement was made?My preference:

Butts would surely go to DarcyIf they have 3 KPFs, Butts to Tabener, Doedee to Lobb and Kelly to Darcy. Otherwise, I'd I like to see Murray or McAsey in for Darcy, meaning Kelly out.
Dropping someone who’s better than Lockett? No!Ridiculous
And there we have it ladies and gentleman the knockout blowDropping someone who’s better than Lockett? No!
Kelly’s not getting dropped and neither should he be.If they have 3 KPFs, Butts to Tabener, Doedee to Lobb and Kelly to Darcy. Otherwise, I'd I like to see Murray or McAsey in for Darcy, meaning Kelly out.
Even in a short career similar has happened to him multiple times. Seems to be a pattern
Why are they naming Sunday squads so late now?Another Saturday selection
This is the worst bit of the whole Covid thing
Apart from the deaths and all
Why are they naming Sunday squads so late now?
Fogarty came into the team to replace the injured Sloane.
In doing so, we weakened our midfield to the extent that the worst team in the competition were able to beat us for 3/4 of the game. Simultaneously, we also weakened our forward line, by unbalancing it and making it too tall & slow. Fogarty is like a witches hat when the opposition are streaming the ball out of defence. His presence arguably cost us as many goals as he kicked, due to the lack of forward defensive pressure - both in repeat I50s we didn't get, and opposition goals created by their ability to rebound easily out of defence.
We figuratively robbed both Peter and Paul, and paid nobody. If you're doing that, then you're certainly not helping the development of the other kids around him in the team.
Doedee doesn't have a problem finding the ball back there mate
Bad schooling I would suggest.Yet another poster who can't ****ing read.
Why are there so many illiterate posters on this board?
I watched all of our pre-season games, both the AFL & SANFL variants. I haven't seen the 2 SANFL H&A games.OK - have you seen any of Thilthorpe, Pedlar, Himmelberg or Hately play any game-time since the start of the season? Actually watched them play in a game (not highlights) ... before this judgement was made?
Now who's trolling?Dropping someone who’s better than Lockett? No!
I'm not completely averse to the idea of dropping Frampton, keeping Fogarty in the forward line, and bringing Hately in as the replacement. That would, at least, fix the mess we made of the midfield last weekend. It also goes some way towards addressing the problem of having too many slow tall forwards, lacking defensive pressure. On the flipside, it leaves us without any backup options for ROB (other than Walker's occasional pinch hit in the forward line).And yet, he spent a lot of time playing in the forward lines, and we pushed other players through the middle.
"Simultaneously, we also weakened our forward line, by unbalancing it and making it too tall & slow."
I sort of agree with this; so drop Frampton, who has had a multiple irrelevant matches; or McAdam, who seems like more of a front-runner than Fogarty. Or one of the small forwards who are in the side to do the pressure job up forward.
Or, as someone else said, kick it to the advantage of our forwards so they can take a mark, and defensive pressure in the F50 becomes less of an issue.
"His presence arguably cost us as many goals as he kicked, due to the lack of forward defensive pressure - both in repeat I50s we didn't get, and opposition goals created by their ability to rebound easily out of defence."
This is just ridiculous Vader. I'm not trying to join the pile on here, but this has got to be trolling.
Welcome to the dark side (darker side?)I'm not completely averse to the idea of dropping Frampton, keeping Fogarty in the forward line, and bringing Hately in as the replacement.

I'd still prefer to drop both of them, but getting rid of Frampton and replacing him with a midfielder, does address some of the headaches which Fogarty's selection created last week. Getting rid of Frampton is a higher priority than dropping Fogarty.Welcome to the dark side (darker side?)
Continually playing him will lead to those losses so he should be out soon.People are going to be terribly disappointed when they realise they only way you're going to be dropped from this team after a win is if you're injured.
Coach has been banging on about consistency with a young group for weeks now. He's mentioned a fair few times that players are playing their individual roles, Frampton is not going to be dropped this week as much as we would all like to see Thilthorpe ( or anyone other than Frampton) it ain't happening until we lose a game Maybe even 2 in a row.
