Outs: Campbell, McMillan, Atley, Hall - all of these should be permanent outs, then Williams, Pittard and Ahern.

Brown on thin ice. Hayden another one like that and he gets a rest. Thomas close to being dropped but season is shot so get games into him, same for Bailey Scott who was not so great. Taylor had a shocker, but has had form leading up to tonight. Rest Higgins if it means he is getting worse, you don’t want to go bush bashing with a Rolls Royce.

Ins: Anyone is an upgrade on the first 4 list cloggers.

Not worth bringing in underdone players, but over the next few weeks you would love to see Larkey, LDU, Bonar, Murphy, Walker and Majak.

You’ve listed 9 outs Up to and including Hayden. Who do you expect replaces them? Seriously?

The first four out at a minimum.

I would rather see us play short or bring in players not up to it than waste anymore games on s**t veterans.

The players after them will survive based on us not having fit replacements. But if Rhyce is serious it’s time to make a call on some players.
 
It’s scraping the bottom of the barrel calling up Wood again....
Majak to come in this week, at least we have given him time
LDU needs another week
Other than that... I need a drink... that loss is still too painful & raw

Anderson for Ahern. 13 disposals at 39% in his preferred role is not enough.

Daw for Campbell.

Ziebs? Dunno....

So name replacements then. Who comes in. And don’t name players that are not fit.
Daw, Murphy, Bonar and even though he doesn’t deserve it Wood.

Then from there it will be up to who is fit enough. If Ziebell is fit then he comes in for any of those four, even at his worst.

Campbell, McMillan, Atley and Hall should have played their last games.

Definite out: Campbell & Ahern
Possible outs: Hall (got a lot of it but when you torch it that’s not a good thing). Hayden may need a rest. I’m a fan but poor tonight

Daw maybe if he is fit. Murphy has had opportunities. Bonar is no better than Ahern, Scott, etc. Wood has had his chances. Cupboard is bare.
Bullshit.

Murphy was ok against the Saints and hasn’t been given a shot since, yet we have to endure watching McMillans opponent turn into Wayne Carey every week.

Campbell is just useless unless he plays in the ruck which isn’t going to happen with Goldy playing so well.

Atley, probably harsh in the last game, but when is enough enough?

Hall by all accounts isn’t in the mental space to be playing AFL and it sure shows. How he was picked this week after last weeks pathetic effort defies belief. This week he had a go but everything he touched turned to s**t.

Rhyce just needs to come out and say we are going to try a few new things for the reminder of the year - the season is shot and we are building for the future.

Playing Hall, Pittard, JMAc, Marley, Ats and Campell is just wasting everyones time.

Bring in others who are contracted through to next year and lets see what they can do - we have to pay them anyway - and keep the emphasis on youth.

Richmond will have about 6 blokes out so lets see how we go against them with a new look and new aggressive game plan.
