This.
I reckon 6 out of my last 10 posts commented on Sauce, his decline, his taps to oppo mids, his lack of field marking and general field play, plus he's kicked zero goals in 10 games.
Sauce has been a terrific team man and is a very likeable bloke, very loyal, humble, good-hearted, no question.
Sauce looks cooked and I was hoping he'd be rested or managed or even dropped --- whatever the right word is --- to give ROB a go, and maybe come back re-energised after the bye. Maybe, unless ROB lifted and really grabbed his chance.
If Pyke keeps doing the same things selection-wise, he'll get the same (inconsistent) results.
Whatever Pyke tolerates, he'll get more of.

Is it time to change the game amd just select a kp player to go in as ruck, lose the tap but try to run them ragged? If we have no good ruckman, hope he cap kick a couple and make the oppo ruckman chase him all day

All i was trying to get across is that they have shone because they have been given early opportunities to showcase what they have .

IMO Doedee should have played last year and even Gallucci could have played a few more games .

If not for the injuries this year we would not have seen much of the 3 you mentioned above .

We have for way too long stifled a lot of our talented youth by playing favorites .

Not a knock on any of our young players or the SANFL

there is no youth being stifled , they are underperforming in sanfl or they are Fogarty , Murphy , Doedee etc getting meaningful AFL games

Think you are getting confused with underperforming senior players and stifling of youth , it's the former not the later going on . A lot of the young players aren't performing either at sanfl level

Tell me who's being stifled ?

1) just select a kp player to go in as ruck, lose the tap but try to run them ragged? 2) If we have no good ruckman ...

Not sure what you mean; not sure that it's a solution.
Who do you mean would "run them ragged"? We got run off our feet on Sunday, all game.
At all centre bounces teams have to provide a ruckman, 2 followers (used to be a ruck-rover and a rover) and the team's "centre" --- 4 players each team --- and the latter is just another mid, really.
A KPP wouldn't be allowed in to ruck.
2) we do --- ROB is doing well in the SANFL and I can't see him playing any worse than Sauce is now, if promoted. That's sad for Sauce, who's either out of form, or overtired, or both.
ROB would bring the renewed energy of a player keen to prove himself.

Might have been counting on 5 injuries during training.

Maybe Davis got injured during training

Maybe Davis got injured during training

I’m now aware of that
