Oshea out - Bobby In
Amon out - Robbie In
Strong argument for Neade to be dropped but not sure who would replace him? Mitchell? Maybe S Gray but we have seen in the past he is not a small forward.

Whilst I tend to agree, he generally defends well and can take a mark.

It's just he is a blaster of the footy down the line. It often results in the ball coming straight back over his head. Bombed away to a 3 on 1 a few times yesterday, 1 cost us a goal.

He was probably recalling the old days where he had a tall to kick to down the line.........

BUTCHAAAH
 
Carlile for OShea..... Have been a fan since I first saw him play, but he has lost me. Carliile will unfortunately slow us down.

R Gray for Ah Chee.

Toumpas for Amon

Butcher for Neede or Impey.

And maybe Sammy C for The Krak.
 
out hoff, its obvious he will never be able to stand up for us in a big moment or a big game. his time is up, as good as he can be (and i do really like him) he is the poster boy for our mental fragility, just kick the fking goal you are a nearly 200 game 'leader' - in howard.

out boak, injured? form? either way its hurting the team, in r gray

out oshea, in austin

out neade, like what he does but kick the goal, dont be mentally soft, in palmer

out amon in sammy c



polec ebert 12 others very lucky...
 
It's the same problem as last year. Our leadership group is average and can't will themselves to win and bring others into the game. It doesn't matter who we drop in the fringes, we just don't have enough class leaders. We have Robbie and that is it. The rest wouldn't get a game on current form in any team in the 8.
So for selection bring in Robbie. Expect to lose by 15 goals
 
Out: O'Shea, In: Clurey
Out: Amon, In: Toumpas
Out: Stewart, In: Gray

Palmer. The kid is in strong form in a team playing poorly. Give him a crack at the big time and he will shine DBJ style.

I only watched the first half before going to work but I wouldn't have put Amon in to start with and his performance has justified my view. I wouldn't be replacing him with Toumpas though as some others have suggested, I agree with hyperbenny that it should be a straight swap for Robbie.
If we need another KPD then I'd go with Clurey or Austin or bring in Howard and play Jacko in defence, supporting Dougs in the ruck.
Play Chad in the middle.

Everyone calls us flat trackers yet I dont see Richmond, Port, Sydney and even North wininng games interstate. Lets see what happens Sat. If we loose then yes we are no hope for this season
I think you will win and win comfortably.

We are such a rabble atm we would welcome being flat track bullies - we can't even guarantee a win at home.
 
I have been a huge critic of Neade previously but I think he is playing well, certainly his best season in the AFL so far.

Oshea should be omitted but I don't think he will be. I'd love Clurey to come in but it won't happen.

Ah Chee needs to go back to the SANFL and needs to lift his game, he may go close to being delisted at end of season.

Keep Amon in, his game on the weekend was ok. Give him 5 weeks to see if he has a future.

Weirdly enough, I think we can beat the Weagles.
 
Firstly, Butcher in for one of our small forwards - Impey or Neade - and this is why. At the start of the 2016 season our two tall fowards were lock-ins, namely Dixon and Schulz. The other teams number 1 defender would stand Dixon and the number 2 on Schulz. With Schulz lasting just one game the obvious replacement was Butcher. This is based on giving him a one year contract extension for 2016 for any "break glass in case of an emergency" situation. Were there any other reasons? At that particular time Butcher really did not have any reliable form that we could base on in selecting him. After 8 rounds we still have no reliable form, but hey times are now desperate. Give him a bracket of games and see what we get. At least Dixon will no longer have number 1 and 2 defender shadowing him all match. Also Butcher is the darling of most Port supporters. Based on the crowd roar when he takes a mark and an even louder roar if he kicks truly.
My only other in beside R Gray (if fit) would be Tompous as I am not sure of the reasoning in dropping him for the Carlton game. Therefore:

Ins: Butcher, R Gray, Tompous.

Outs: Impey, Neade, Amon

The other possible out would have to be O'Shea for Carlisle to come in.

That's already 4 changes and I really can't see the selectors doing any more.

Butcher has been in reasonable form and kicking goals, the WWT game was his worst imo.
