Let's be honest. Finals is gone and even if we some how manage to do a Bradbury, we'll do a Richmond. I'd rather start playing guys like Palmer, Butcher, Clurey, Howard and Toumps. If Schulz isn't back just play Butcher. Who cares if he's not killing it in the SANFL, he's another tall who'll at least hit the packs hard and offer more than Westhoff.

He might be a better target but Dougal would be better. Butchers form does not deserve a recall.

I too want Doogal in but i also didn't think that Toump should go out and i DID NOT think Amon should have been in. So really it is anyone's guess how they are selected as an in .. maybe they have best of three, rock, paper, scissors.

So we drop players who are struggling (nearly everyone has been mentioned!) and replace them with a SANFL player like Butcher?
As much as I'd hoped Butch would come good, we are wasting our time by bringing him in if his form doesn't warrant it.
Surely Howard, Austin and even Palmer are better options?

At the very least it will be O’Shea and Ah Chee out for Gray and Carlile.
I’m not convinced they will bring in the leadership the team needs, but hopefully Boak can find form and Robbie doesn’t return just to play one way footy.

Agreed...Toump was not the man to drop. His two way running was impressive and he just lacked a little composure.
Composure he will hopefully find by playing at a higher standard.
He has too many other redeemable facets and should be persisted with. His struggles will be the making of him.
Ken has not got the balls end of story!
2016 is cooked. Which doubly means getting out the likes of O'Shea and Stewart who are both shit this year and aren't going to be a part of 2017 if we are serious next year. And because we SHOULD (but Ken will keep his 'mathematically, but reality is 500 metres the other way' shtick won't) be looking at 2017 the likes of Carlile shouldn't be back either.
Outs: Stewart, O'Shea, Neade, Ah Chee
Ins: Clurey, R. Gray, Butcher, Toumpas
For Butcher I want an extended run of at least 5 games to see how he goes with Dixon. If it doesn't click, we've at least given it a few games to see how it goes, then bring in Howard to partner Dixon. Whichever it needs to be 2 KPF's, plus Westhoff. In every loss this year (and even in our wins) our forward entries have been woeful and ability to win contested contests forward woeful.
And both Ebert and Boak remain on thin ice. I seriously want to know from those who talk to people at the club has Ebert had his eyesight tested. And if not, why the hell not?!

Dear Gawd have you seen what the Weagles are doing to the Saints at the minute 
. We are going to be in a world of pain next week if we don't show up ready to play hard accountable footy.

Heard Darling may have done something
Hope not. Every time an opponent loses a player we become worse.
I really really like Ah Chee, but gee, career hanging on a thread right now.
Must start finding more ball.
If Boak is fit as Ken says, zero chance of him getting dropped.
Amon should not play for Port Adelaide.
To play for the Port Adelaide I remember, you needed to actually put your body on the line. He is soft, let's not sugar coat it.

Hope your missus goes harder at the nut than half our team does.

Out: Amon (shouldn't have been an in), any number of others
In: Butcher, Howard (if available), whoever else has played well.
We should have gone with another tall today, we need to again next week for flexibility.

West Coast have lost every game they haven't played at Domain this season. It is true that these have been against top teams in Hawthorn, Sydney and Geelong but they have scored only a total of 26 goals in these three games. They are not just slightly different away from home as most teams would be but can be up to a 10-goal different side. That game against Carlton was certainly not our best performance and if we turn up to the West Coast game I would give us a better than even chance.
As for changes, I see no reason for wholesale changes. We are 8 games into the season and I certainly want to see us try to win every game, not just get games into young players who may not be ready for AFL yet. I couldn't see any changes that stood out except Neade, who has really only at any time played half a good game.

If boak is fit then Ken should resign in shame
If boak isn't fit then Ken should resign in shame for repeatedly lying
If Ken had the courage he would drop Ebert and Boak
But we know the only courage Ken has, is the type that let's a player be courageous.
Whatever that means. I think we saw Ken courageous in the last 10 minutes.
When did Ken's courageous last win us a game?
