These Dennis Denuto "its the vibe" arguments aren't helpful. Why don't you tell us what you liked about his game?
Found the ball well, also late in the game he floated back and provided cover and an outlet.

You've written him off I get it, you'll be proven wrong....

Yep I thought he looked better in the last quarter too chipping in at HB. Not sure that's a good sign though. GWS had him playing half back and he couldn't get out of there fast enough.

I've written him off as being a first choice mid long term. If a fully fit Pedlar can't produce better footy than Hately, I'll be very disappointed. Ogilvie has form picking duds in the first round though so it's not impossible.

We need to move one of the tall players forward to a tall in the backline, we don't need Himmelberg if we have Tex and Thilthorpe, with Fog able to pinch hit. At least if you play McAsey we can play him back or forward when needed seems we lack that versatility at the moment

He looked nervous out there. Tacked well and got into the right spots but was fumbly.

Should improve next week.

I mean, currently, I'd take Himmelberg over Fogarty. Provides a tall target in the forward line, can play as a 2nd ruck in order to protect Thilthorpe, and seems to be able to find the ball just as much, even with Fog playing as a midfielder

Agree we need that extra tall down back though. Whether it's Worrell/McAsey/Murray, I don't know, but just the fact we're lacking height is glaringly obvious

Worrell has been the much better performed player at SANFL level the last month. Also has more offence to his game and is a better swingman imo. McAsey has looked average all year and has played one better game but it was nothing to write home about. Let him find his confidence at sanf level. He isn't ready.

Kicking was god awful too. Small sample size as he was mostly handballing but he was poor by foot any time he had to kick the thing more than 20m.
 
People suggesting Newchurch. He’s a long way from AFL. He might play later in the year, but there are many that will play before him. Pedlar will debut before him.

People were also suggesting Thilthorpe was a long way from AFL after a couple of non descript SANFL games, some guys step up to the level, what have we got to lose? Can’t be any worse than Rowe was today.

Exactly. Either Newchurch breaks even with what Rowe is currently providing, or is better
 
Needs to get fit if he wants to keep his career going. They need to look at why he can't get fit. There may be a legitimate reason which may need further investigation.

Fogarty issue isn't fitness. It's more there are elements missing to Fogs game to really make the most of his talent. Really good set shot, but doesn't have the forward game to beat good defenders semi regularly. Capable burst player, but lacks an outside game. He's never going to get to the point he can overtake Tex as a key forward (and well, we don't need him too). He probably never get to the point he'll be a top line midfielder either due to how much his outside game is missing.

Fogarty is just a moments player, and could be a very valuable player to our rebuild in the right situation. The game is just finding a way to maximise Fogarty in our line-up, because he oozes class. Personally, I like the midfield idea and feel his future is just a third tall who can spend time in the midfield in bursts. Gives a point of difference and third tall is a peripheral role, so you can carry an inconsistent player there if their good moments are really good.

Pedlar isn't fit enough yet, and we've ended up in a similar situation to Frampton last week. The incumbent is in such bad form it's forced a change. It's time for Tariek.

He's not alone in our team there.

Hamill's looked bad. If its a rolled ankle its going to be in the more severe category for sure. A few weeks at least would be my bet. Damn shame too as his game is really coming together and we need his pace.
DMac jokes aside, we don't have anyone will that pace on the list.
 
So that by the end of the year we've given Fogarty a good run at AFL and can make a definitive call on his future.

None of this umming and ahhing because we only gave him blocks of a few games at a time

We've lready done that. He's had plenty of games and only impressed in one. Trade him at the end of the year, if possible.
 
Sloane won't play this week, Berry will come back in

If not O'Connor should be in consideration, has found more ball the last couple of weeks and his clearance work has been improving.....and like Berry he's a 2 way runner.
