We have invested heaps into ROB. Stachens development and performances are irrelevant.

Laird and Keays have been winning their share of the footy and Rory isn't subject to form. He's the captain, he's a starting mid and that's all there is to it.

I'm ok with us resting RT for a week, he's got through a fair bit of work this season and could benefit from a small spell.
Himmelberg was going to play last week until illness, but I wouldn't have bothered.
Mackay again......
My guess is Frampton, Berry, RT and McPherson as emergencies. Maybe Pedlar instead of one of them

I doubt Frampton plays but I'm not opposed to resting Riley for a week.... As long as that's what it is.
When does the SANFL team get announced - will Fog, Riley and the Bash brothers all be in it? May be worth a fiver
Why? I don't get it

It absolutely is.
Even a week in the 2s to find the pill a bit more, play up the ground.
But has to come straight back in.
You'd be happy, they got it right again. A choice between a useless senior player and a kid goes the waybof the senior player again. And Lynch, who was a moral, but there's whispers about not offering him a contract, why play him if that's true. It's Richie Douglas all over again. No eye for the future at all, every decision goes against playing kids ahead of seniors. The 4 points this week remains the sole goal of the AFC. Any player development is happenstance. We've not made a single active decision at selection that suggests otherwise.
Anyone still want to say we aren't on the tank?
Doedee is out and hasn't been replaced with a defender. Butts and Murray up against Kennedy, Darling and Allen/Naitanui. Particularly after what happened earlier in the year.
Baha.

It's concerning that our answer to big failures is always to add comfortable, known experience (no matter how mediocre) rather than trying something new or different with any sort of potential.
I mean did our coaches really see our forward line/entire side last week and think the answer was to bring in Lynch and Himmelberg? Like was that the problem? We didn't have Himmelberg up forward...?

Thought that’s what we did at the start of the year - not sure why we’re doing it again with the same players.
Surely it's just to see if we are delisting him straight up or seeing if he has trade value?

rubbish, it's about getting a win. Name the players that we need to see to make a call on? I'll add your fantasy to the list of reasons people manufacture in order to refuse to believe the obvious. Nothing has changed, Nicks is running the same philosophies that Pyke ran. He was employed by Roo, Chapman and Fagan, his philosophies had to align with theirs or he'd not gotten the job.
You'll excuse it, you always do.

You don't make calls on the future of players that have been on the list for season after season by seeing them playing 5 games.
You should already have a very good idea of what they bring. Don't waste games. Make the call and play guys with a future
we're not tanking, Frampton played there last week and they're sticking with that. Plus he'd make 3 key talls which is 2 more than we played most of the year. They'll probably trust Kelly on Darking, there's only 1cm between the two of them. You don't keep playing injured seniors and bringing back Lynch if you're not trying to win. Just accept that selection hasn't changed since Pyke, we're not tanking, that is our most experienced side we can pick. We just suck and our coaches are no different at selection than what we've gotten used to.
