Prediction Changes v Whoever The **** It Is After The Bye

Did anyone here honestly think we were a flag chance without Nic Nat? I have been calling for a calculated tank all preseason, as we wouldnt have NN all year (similar to how Freo packed it in after Fyfe was ruled out for all of last year), now it seems the most logical thing for us to do after the bye. Play the kids, see what they're made of, take the hits, get a good pick in return. Delist at end of season where required.
 
Well one things for sure it'll be Masten and Wellingham back in, which kids can we drop?

Rucks aren't as important as they used to be.

In 2015 we we're a flag chance without a backline

Swap Priddis for Venables

Lecras for Karpany

Darling for a mannequin (seriously anybody but him)

Bring Barrass back in for either Emac or Schoey

Butler can probably get gone too for wellers - at least he has confidence.

In: wellers karps Parto lamb Giles Barrass Mutimer.
 
The last quarter with Gov fwd we looked less shit than the other 3 quarters. I thought that was the whole point of bringing Eric in?

The whole game was just meh. Not even upset atm, just flat. Never been so apathetic towards the team.

Need some serious changes now. We aren't going anywhere this year so time to bring some kids in. Ready or not.

Give Karps, Lamb, Muts, DV, Parto an extended run.
 
Was sad watching Priddis and lecras today. They just looked past it. Hats of to Priddis he had less time in his preferred position but he still tries. Lecras was just insipid as was darling really but we need to be rational here.

Out: lecras, Priddis, vardy (he's competed hard)
In: mutimer, partington, lycett

Cripps, darling, duggan on notice.

OUT: Priddis, LeCras, EMac, Hill
IN: Partington, Barrass, Masten, Mutimer

Masten sucks in general but has been having a much better year compared to the last couple, and he's better than all 4 of those outs AND we will need his fitness to allow us to play so many others that won't be able to have high TOG. :'(
 
i shy away fro the emotional rants above. The reality is - should we have got over the line to win against GWS and held on to win today when we had chances and were also done by some of the marginal quality umpiring as seen all day, would you all feel better.

We can not contain fast midfield and and backs the run in numbers. We recruited the slower end of the gene pool and the game has changes leaving many of our players in a time warp. To improve will take time and targeted drafting, trading. The coach whoever that is can not add fast twice muscle to plodders.

Players that we will never win a premiership with include (no bother with the short terms who are not really a problem) and those not playing today:
Both wingers who are one dimensional plodders which no physical presence - when good teams run and carry for 50-80m on the great they chip or handball to no gear attacking benefit and they defensive efforts are soft:
  • Gaff
  • Masten - already in the headlights.

  • Butler - just old and cautions the we need élan
  • Priddis
  • Cripps
  • Lecras - mentally weak and aging
  • Darling - a fumbling hard worker who lacks X factor and, skill. Also done in the head
  • Nelson I suggest is at best a fill in - works hard and looks to have pace but is only C grade
  • Hurn - see Butler
  • Hutchings - has never really been an AFL player (honest depth at best)
  • Duggan and Sheed - well they are developing but look be be B or C grade as they lack real poise, skill and élan
  • By and large the Woodhouse era
 
Need to see who plays well on Monday but Partington, Mutimer, Lamb, Barrass and possibly Cole should all be a chance if they can put a good game together

Who has pace, skill and the courage to break lines with the ball?
From our squad?

Surely you jest?

Did you watch him last night? He was hopeless. I'd say he's the worst captain in the AFL at the moment. Not his fault that his selection panel gives him some serious spuds to bring it in to him, but if you were the caliber of player that Tex should be, he should've gotten 6 goals+ last night. Yes he can be a monster forward, but he should not be captain.
