Drop them both?
we started the year without Sloane or Keays featuring much in the stoppages rotation. Now they're 2 of the 4 full timers. Obviously it would have been impossible to predict we'd revert to these guys as the season progressed and the pressure increases with the whiff of finals being smelt in the coaches box. Kids out to periphery, cooked Sloane into the guts.

Yep..with their injuries and form, we could probably pick our SANFL side to get the job done such is how bad things are at the moment for the poor old eagles...they can't take a trick.
Its not this game that will define us..i want to know what the hell the midfield coaches will do to address the almost one way traffic GC got going from centre with clearance after clearance and no ability from our group to swing momentum back in that 9 goal avalanche we copped.....because unless they do, collingwood are likely over there to do the same thing and it will make for a very miserable trip to the G for me and others

Maybe Nicks needs to to to specsavers if that's the case.
I'd like to see this. Give Cook a run of games on the wing. Worrell needs to come in and stay in.
Would also drop Soligo tbh. That was a putrid game. He needs to go away and work on his game. Maybe Schoenberg comes in?
Sloane likewise but not sure who we bring in.

They won’t drop Sloane for Tex’s 250th, not a chance.
Dropping Soligo would be pointless. Sure he had a bad one but so did Sloane, which has a future?
We are not developing a midfield at all. We’ve gone back to Laird, Sloane, Keays and added Dawson with cameos from Pedlar and Rachelle. Berry and Schoenberg in the SANFL, Soligo reduced midfield minutes.
We are in a list rebuild and we don’t have one young full time mid, just think about that and yet we had a flog sprouting we’ve drafted the best mids in the comp over last 3 years.
If we were serious it would be:
Out Sloane, Doedee and McHenry.
In Schoenberg, Worrell and Cook.
But Sloane will stay and Schoenberg will likely replace McHenry which won’t help his development at all.

These would be good changes
Obvs Sloane will play in Tex 250
We need to get Schoenberg back in soon and definitely give Soligo more mid minutes as he’s really good in traffic and has good midfield craft ….. Rachele needs another pre season to get > 50% mid
Ned isn’t up to it as an afl footballer , like him as full time sub and that’s about it …. not sure anything will change my mind on this
Also hope I didn’t jinx Doedee , knew a spot for Worrell would open up

Yep.. we all knew it was gonna come.. well a fair few of us anyway..
The inevitable return of the sh*t Murph..
But the Crom way is to cling to the player and hope his form from a few games earlier in the year returns..
So.. expect him to be selected for the rest of the year..
You watch.. he’ll have a blinder next week against one of the worst 22’s ever assembled at AFL level.. and his golden ticket will be re-polished all shiny and new..

I was thinking about you when he went down!
But will Worrells conditioning allow him to play

Dropping Soligo?..
Fxxk me.
What about dropping sloane.. the bloke thats so cooked he cant even keep up with the ruckmen.
What about dropping the complete hack that runs around like a headless chook handballing and kicking wildly, missing goals and missing basic targets and making horrid mistakes… but, but, but.. “he runs hard”!!
We have taken Soligo out of the midfield.. put sloane and keays back in and now when its all turned back to the same sh*t midfield we’ve seen for the past few years..
the solution is “lets drop soligo”!.. really?..
Whats next?.. “lets bring matt crouch back”
and we can get the fxxkn entire band back together!

The West Coast game at home is the promised land
Anyone who's been struggling a bit just needs to get across the line into the 22 this week and churn out a good un. Book their spot.

Dropping Soligo would be idiotic
Anytime he’s played a poor one this year he’s followed with a cracker
Inconsistency is expected in season 2
Its unfortunate and it won't happen.
But I'd rest Walker, these are the games we need to get the team playing through Fog and co.

It should get Nicks sacked as he has directly cost us at least a couple of wins this year with his poor selection and tactics but we will recontact a coach who is clearly out of his depth for another 2-3 years while there is some decent coaches on the market currently. They will point to the improvement as justiication that Nicksy "is our man" but that improvement has come from talent and Burgess and less about anything the coach has done. There's not a chance in hell that we would ever do what St Kilda did last year.
Watching the presser last night Nicks looked as dejected as I have ever seen him. It looked like he realised that he does need a lot of improvement as a coach and his backing in of certain players had failed and we won't make finals this year. Other coaches have worked him out away from home. They know he will stick Sloane and Keays in the middle and if Laird and Dawson are cut out you go a long way to beating Adelaide. They also know that Nicks will stick stubbornly to a structure that's getting beaten and do nothing about it in game.

Yeah I get that.
It's just frustrating to see us miss a good development opportunity

If Rachele is going to be a mid hes going to need to toughen up to play on the likes of Rowell.
He will
Let’s not forget him and Soligo are 2nd year players and had 2 years of junior football where hardly a game was played
Remarkable they’ve been able to play so many good games so far
He's struggling and was probably worst on ground.
I don't think they will but I think he deserves it.
Sloane looks a bit cooked you're right. I actually said I'd drop him but your anger problems took over.
Tex is meant to be the icing, not the cake.
We go to him far to often, which is understandable, he's a gun. Just not useful

I think Worrell, Schoenberg and Cook should come in.
Ideal would be Sloane as sub for Tex's 250, but it just seems so unlikely.
