Opinion Changes vs Geelong

[G3TWOTYAD3S3RV]

Weren’t DBJ and AJ playing average footy in the SANFL, and upon getting a call up showed potential. Maybe Ken just needs to throw Frampton in the deep end and see what he can offer. **** this he isn’t ready shit.

* guess he may not be ready TOG wise..

O.k who on the other sidr then.

Motlop.

As I just posted ...Playing Dixon fulltime in the ruck is the lesser of the 2 evils..

I would rather lose a tall forward ( I know I know) than the ruck esp with our ( Better than Richmond, Bulldogs and Collingwood recent winning mosquito fleets) wealth of small forwards and the addition of Marshall .

Well I like this better than Dougal and Westy doing this.

 

[Adz2332]

OUT Amon, Marshall (inj) Houston, Rockliff
IN Barry, Hombsch, Pittard, Trengove

See I don't mind all the posts about giving Frampton a chance... I just think that perhaps Frampton should be spelled H a y e s

 

[PAFC66]

Mid season draft/trade would be good right about now

 

[Willsy10]

Interesting that Kenny basically said that Frampton isn't up to it yet, this is his 4th year on the list he should be ready to go by now, if he still isn't ready then why is he still on the list?

Exactly..

Its not as if he's injured..

 

[Andre]

Marshall should be an out. There’s enough evidence of concussions now that playing him this week versus potential risk if he’s concussed again (it’s two concussions in short order that is highly problematic) is a no brainer to leave out. Player safety of a guy with 10 years in front of him trumps making a hard game harder every day.

 

[Willsy10]

Couple of defenders out of form big time in Clurey and Houston, nice luxury to have a fit Pittard and Hombsch ready to come back in. The timing has been pretty good for those two players. After the Sydney game they both would've been concerned about how they were going to get back in the team but the door has opened and there is an opportunity to walk right through the door and shut it behind them.

 

[S.Patrol.G]

Out: Amon, Houston, Rockliff*, Marshall*

In: Barry, Pittard, Powell-Pepper, Thomas

Barry for Amon because he's more dangerous to the opposition. He breaks lines.
Pittard for Houston because Houston has been abysmal.
Powell-Pepper for Rockliff (inj.)
Thomas for Marshall (inj.)

If Rockliff and Marshall are cleared to play, then Powell-Pepper comes in for Amon, Barry and Thomas miss.

Geez people!

Hinkley: We haven't got a ruck ready to play
KEN HINKLEY has a strong message for the football world – stop asking about replacements for injured Port Adelaide ruckman Paddy Ryder. There simply isn't one ready.

not a great vote of confidence for Billy!

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Yeah Billy Frampton should be touring the club facilities of any club that shows him even the slightest bit of interest at this point.

So WAFL teams. Because atm he's lucky to be at that standard right now.

 

[RossFC]

If he can't get a game at a side that doesn't have a ruck his pay check at his next club will be like 20k for the season.

Honestly, yes. Getting backdoored in to the Dockers post-Sandi feels like a better path to me.

He'd be behind Sean Darcy who is 201cm, and about 15kgs heavier and like 2 years younger than Frampton

Who would ya pick up? Lobbe?

 

[King_Tredrea]

It’s actually laughable how bad our forward line is without Dixon there. Jack Watts gets double teamed and we still have no plan other than putting it on his head.

 

[x_les_x]

Honestly, yes. Getting backdoored in to the Dockers post-Sandi feels like a better path to me.

They picked up Lloyd Meek, Hugh Dixon (fwd but can ruck) and Scott Jones in the 2017 draft whilst still having Sean Darcy. They're good

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

It's ridiculous we don't have a mature break glass ruck on peanuts or even some project overseas longshanks rookie listed.

I can’t remember the last time a ruckman in the SANFL gave him a bath. He averages more touches than Rockliff is getting.

Anyone who thinks Frampton isn’t SANFL standard doesn’t watch the magpies. When was the last time a ruckman regularly racked up 15+ possies in the sanfl?

If Frampton isn’t afl ready right now he is either a) ****ing up behind the scenes
B) just a shade off match fitness in which case what the hell are we expecting when he is fit
C) carrying an injury which doesn’t make sense as he is playing and doing alright

 

[raptalia]

What if Frampton came in for Marshall and started up forward with a spell in ruck? He would be playing the role he has been playing in the SANFL and Ken could get a look at him in ruck. Billy could be a liability but if you never go you will never know.

That makes too much sense.

Exactly right. The last two years he has been splitting time 3 ways in the ruck. When he has been thr main ruckman he has dominated games. 16 marks 26 touch games...

Geez even against the bays 10 days ago he had 18 touches 26 hitouts 5 tackles and a goal, despite sharing time with two other ruckmen...

Anyone that thinks he struggles at sanfl level has no idea.
