I think Banfield will be dropped as he’s not an established enough player to afford a 2 disposal, 0% efficiency game and still stay in the team. Only proven guns get that luxury.

Henry will also be dropped as he is simply not good enough. Right now he has nothing that makes him stand out at AFL level in any way. Erasmus is MILES ahead of him in my opinion already.

Noddy has been poor this year and is on thin ice but he will surely survive if Aish is ruled out.

I agree with you but Henry shouldn't have been given a game in the first place imo, so he's clearly rated by the selectors and will hold his spot.

Yeah I’ve been big on him for his undoubted skills but Henry is out of his depth.

I think Erasmus, Worner, maybe even Corbett deserve a look.

No idea how it all fits together. Any of NOD, Henry, Banfield, Freddy, Shultz, Switta should be on the chopping block for their efforts last night.

Sturt obviously didn’t do enough but he’s hardly Robinson Crusoe & he did create 2 goals & provided considerably more pressure than others.
 
Is it so bad that I just want to see Corbett given a go? We traded him in for a reason, surely he can offer something in the forward 50 if we gave him the chance. He's played one quarter for us.
If our season looks like we're not on a trajectory for finals then I am all for this. However, it needs to be in pristine conditions so he can really show us what he's capable of.
 
But of a curve ball, but I really think Hamling is prime to make a long-awaited return.

He's back to his best at Peel, and I always saw similarities between McPharlin and himself. I know the only changes will be forced but I can't help but feel he's earned a recall and would manage some of our defensive issues. There's no reason if he hits form why he couldn't be around for our supposed 2025 flag tilt.

Yes he's a mate also ;)
 
Actually like this. Worner is fit, runs all day and would relish Henry’s spot.

The interesting issue is Fyfe. He was made to play Jackson’s role tonight and just couldn’t do anything. Perhaps he was the one taking over with Treacy in the ruck.

If Reidy does come in, probably won’t, where does Fyfe go? He’s still a little out of touch
Fyfe would rotate on a bench and forward flank.

He's played well and I think he's earned a shot too. Yesterday's game in particular was a big step forward, seemed to have more confidence in his body than earlier in the season.

Who would you think he would replace. Outside of last night the defense in the last month been pretty good

They seem buckle when upfield are not playing well and they feel the pressure
 
So you're complaining that Sturt had the nous to be able to find a bunch of space for a mark i50 in what was a very contested game?

Also how was Banfield at all more influential than him last night? He didn't get near it
When you're coming in for a tall, losing every contest, and Richmond's defence intercept us to death (something we'd been good at limiting in our wins), yes I think that finding space 1 time coz your opponent forgot all about you doesn't overshadow all of that. This isn't someone who gets involved in a bunch of chains either: 3 SIs against Richmond, averages 2.8 for the season (most of the others I listed sit around 4.5).

Good thing I didn't say Banfield was more influential against Richmond, and specifically pointed out that a lot of that group had poor showings against Richmond. I was judging them as players by the body of work this season (indicated by the use of are vs were).

If say, Jye Amiss has 2 disposals you keep him in the team because he’s an elite talent and he’s earned that right.
Banners is a fringe player though and I’m sorry but if you are fringe and you turn in a game like that you can’t stay in the side.

Pretty sure 4 good games in a row earns you that right. 2 disposals but was subbed off not the whole game 😉

Btw are you the same as dockeroo 82 lol

Any of Banners last 4 games was better than Sturts last night

I really like Sturt but just irks me that those thinking he deserves some privilege over another player and they can't wait to sink the boots in just to justify their case

What planet is this? Banfield is the one that got subbed off. Irrespective of whether Sturt also gets dropped, he's going to be dropped. Otherwise his 'body of work' would have seen him stay on the field in the first place.

I’m not his biggest fan, however he is so needed for the forward line. Treacy was subbed a few weeks ago, and played the next week. It happens.
Walters in for Sturt to maintain balalnce.

Lol banner was subbed off? No kidding. 🤨 That's what I'm saying, people saying he had two disposals as if that was for four quarters.

And no, body of work from previous games doesn't mean you don't get subbed off. That's what a strategic sub is for. If someone is having off game or the matchups aren't working you sub them off in that game 🙄
