Let's be serious. Including Logue and Deluca (perhaps less so).

The two worst on ground last week for me were McCarthy and Logue. Logue at least tried his guts out but it just wasn't working for him, but McCarthy was either injured or couldn't give a ....
I think it'll just be Griff, Kerstin and Sheridan in for the 3 outs. No more changes unless someones under an injury cloud.

Sadly yes
Ridiculous really, Griff is a 10 game KPP player. What do people seriously expect?That is fair, although Logue's issue I doubt very much is effort. If he gets dropped it will because he made heaps of mistakes. Cam was being lazy.
Also expect Neale to play unless his injury flares up. Why they would even bother has me and seemingly everyone else here beat.

While I really rate McCarthy, I have to agree with his axing. We've been critical of Tabs marking before, and McCarthy's has been below standard for a long time now.
D.Pearce though...

Tab and Collins(maybe) ?
I suspect, it's a show us why we should give you guys another year, all of the inclusions bar Lachie have question marks. Yeh and Collins needs a decent go or he walks out, grabs his footy and goes home!

Why wouldn't you play Neale? He has nothing on for few weeks after this weekend. If he is fit he plays. Or you happy losing?Sadly yes

I think Collins has been a go home factor all year, otherwise I don't know why he's not getting games.

Farewell games for Griff and DP...and Sheridan if he gets traded
Reckon Ibbo deserved one over a few in that lineup

Not a spud but I don't reckon he's all that crash hot either, depth player imo. Also looked a bit off AFL fitness level in that 1 game he played this year.
Agreed. McCarthy might have had a shocker last week but really replacing him with Kersten is a joke. Kersten is a depth player at best similar to what he was at the Cats. Not a key forward by along way, flanker at best. Pity Ubergang, Alex Pearce and Apeness are not fit. Kersten would have qualified for Peel Finals long ago.
Tommy deserves a game with his Peel form.

If he's not 100% it could exacerbate the injury. But he must be ok if he's listed. If he ends up having surgery at the end of the season I'd be disappointed he played this meaningless game.

Happy with the McCarthy being dropped. Gives him a clear message for the off season - sort your shit out and show us your potential. He finished the season poorly and I suspect his conditioning isn't quite where it should be (hard to tell, but he's playing that way). Maybe an injury or so. Either way, early start to the pre-season a good move for mine.
As for Kersten. Hasn't set the world on fire either of course, but has been in better form later in the season and I'm cool with him coming back in ... also a case of who else?

Already book for surgery .
Look - I'm known on here for bashing McCarthy but that's because I'm always concerned of the present. I'm sure McCarthy will have a more serviceable year next season although he seriously, seriously needed these "messages" much earlier.
Even though he only showed them in the first half of both our 100 point floggings, Taberner provided and showed what we were trying to get out of both McCarthy and Kersten in nearly 20 games respectively. Lets not forget either that Walters game aside - Taberner played the best game out of all our forwards this year in Round 7. These selections have been the single factors to multiple losses this year also.
We wasted a lot of minutes pumping them into McCarthy only to just be omitted in the final round. What McCarthy really needed to help his development was fitness and having goals set by MC and coaches for him to smash at Peel.
I'll be interested in seeing if McCarthy can get selected for next years Round 1 team.

Tabs managed to kick 1 goal, let's not get too carried away.
