Stanleys on the nose Smith is crap.

Not sure what Narkle is doing in and we still have one too many defenders..one of them out for a mid would make me happy.

I wouldn't think that 7 defenders is too many:

B: J Bews, M Blicavs, J Kolodjashnij
HB: Z Tuohy, H Taylor, T Stewart
Int: Henry

it's 6 on the field & 1 on the interchange which seems a good balance

We have played 7 almost all year except for the one game we played 8.
 
The dropped behind the names is more significant than the player.Sends a message.
What message? Pretty much looks like no one who has been in the season for a large period has been dropped for recent poor form. Kolo and Atkins survive. Last in first out as injured players returns seems to be the mentality.

Selwood and Henderson dumped, thank goodness. MC seems to be waking up, good stuff. Just Clark, Rohan and O'Connor, maybe Constable to come back in soon and we've got our 22 for the finals. Ruck doesn't faze me, both are putrid, so go get em big Smitty.
Yeah hendo and selwood were totally a part of our poor form against hawthorn, footscray and port. Oh wait no they weren't they didnt play. Selwood and hendo weren't even in the bottom 6 players last week. Players like Atkins and kolo are sh** all the time and keep surviving.
 
Yep, only in the side to give best 22 players a rest. Looks like the MC have decided now is the time to start getting serious. Fingers crossed.
They did their job while Taylor and Dahlhaus were out but are no longer best 22.
 
kolo are sh** all the time and keep surviving.
If this is the shit you're running with then maybe you should quit the board again.
What utter crap seeds.

Coincidence,NSIS.
 
If Clark is done for the season, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised to see Narkle get an extended run and play finals. He has the skills and hardness required for September.

He definitely has the skills but i question his hardness and his laziness. Id pick Cockatoo 365 days a year over him when the latter is match fit.

Personally for me if Clark doesnt make it back its Rohan and Cockatoo (if fit) in for Narkle and a surplus defender (bews or henry) bc it helps our ballmovement.

Atkins is probably the one to go if Clarkgets back.

Any ruck in for Smith if MC can see some sense.

Why are you against giving narkle a shot?

Not too bad. It was out of Narkle, Charlie or Parsons to get Clark’s wing role and Narkle does provide a bit more outside run and flair and is in form. Parfitt back is great. Can’t wait to have Parfitt and Menegola back as the high half fwds. If OConnor is out then I’m happy Bews is cover. If O’Connor plays twos we have having a laugh.

The big one is Zac Smith. Surely you give Stanley three weeks to run into form. Smith is absolutely shocking. He may has well be a light post after the ball up. Gives nothing.
 
Play Danger in the guts this week Scotty, our best clearance mid sitting forward when we are getting smashed continues to blow my mind.
Amen. Grinds my gears watching him rot at FF whilst we bring the ball in 5 times a qrt. Don’t rob Peter to pay Paul

Seeds you having a laugh with Kolo. Post concussion and lay off then yep he has been poor but that was two weeks ago. I hammered him regularly ( more than anybody on here I reckon) but he has been great this year up till Rd 14ish

Didn't we hit the finals last yr on the back of big win's, especially the last two games vs GC & Freo ?! Form leading in wasn't the problem....the bye and a hungry Melbourne got into our heads.

Im thinking more when oconnor comes back which he will id drop one of those. I dont want too many defenders at the expense of the mids.

I dont think his 2 way running is up to it but lets see.

On the other henderson was good but theres only so many talls you can have in the side.

Scooter on the other hand is not best 22 anymore.
