It is half time and is anyone else frustrated with Kenny's efforts. He needs to go back to the SANFL if he going to continue to hand upthis rubbish.

Christ can he stay on his feet and take a freaking catch.

Dockers far too good and quick.

Johncocks decision making - poor.

Umpires screwing us.

Bode doing well - but he cannot kick a goal from a set shot to save himself.

Doughty, Mattner seem to be doing OK - but who is on Cook.

He is a hack - but we are making him look good.

We are too loose and our tackles are not sticking as well as they should.

We need more from our on ballers - Goody, Shirley, Thommo.

Welsh fighting hard, but needs to adjust to the tempo of the game.
 
As most sides are working out now about Adelaide, shut down the aging midfield, play on at all costs and you soon find they have a very average back and forward half! What is has also shown is Adelaide have possibly the worst ruck division going around, rivials St Kilda in that regard!
 
I see an easy swap, Kenny for Ian Perrie. Until Kenny's form comes back he can watch from the sidelines. Poor choice of mark I saw, trying to go for a chest mark when the other player was right behind him, put your dukes out son!

Maybe Kenny needs a spell but Perrie has not been up to scratch in the SANFL. I think Torney,Skipworth and Knights will come into consideration this week after good SANFL form.Roo to ff and Hentschel CHF and have some crumbers.
Injuries are starting to catch up..

I have lost count the number of times I have asked for Kenny to be rested - he clearly is not fit & playing is doing him an injustice. I doubt Sarge is the answer yet, but with Welsh & Bock back in, there is no need to rush him bac in yet.

Bode was great today - kept us in the game & showed he ca kick a goal from a set shot.

I agree Dogga & Mattner were great & tha Goody, Shirley & Thommo were average (but they weren't alone).

Wha is up with our defence? No longer looking rock solid.
 
No way.

At the moment, Kenny is struggling, and he hasn't looked good for most of the year.

I'd either move him into the backline, or drop him for a game or two. He has been shouldering a pretty heavy load with Perrie & Bok & Hart out, but he has been looking average of late.

I'd probably drop him, and not replace him with a tall, but bring back Torney or someone. Perrie is currently not playing well enough in the SANFL to justify AFL selection.

With Bok, Henchi, Stevens, Patrick Swayze & Rutten, I think we're pretty sorted for talls, it seems like our crumbers and midfielders need more support than the Forward Line.
 
Where are all the posters who come in and claim its all to do with structure?
He adds so much to the team blah blah blah. He has been poor all season, he may be carrying an injury, if so, give him a rest so he can recover.

If this, so called structure involves a bloke who continually goes to ground, is slow at making decisions, rarely makes an impact on the game and cant kick over 45m, well I am your man, I wont even charge much for my services, this way Kenny can have a rest.
 
Well, for all those that wanted Kenny dropped or rested, you've got your wish, courtesy of the hamstring strain he incurred today.

Oh, and by the way.

You had a preview just how good our forward line functions without him in the last quarter.

Everybody happy now??

Kenny is not Robison Crusoe where that is concerned. It just shows how highly rated He is by the Freo coaching staff that He drew Fess.
Exactly right.

What people here seem to miss is that Shane Parker is one of the best, most under-rated defenders in the league. He hardly ever gets beaten and some of the best forwards in the competition have named him as their toughest opponent.

The fact that Freo's coaching staff gave the job of minding McGregor to Parker says something. Kenny has been struggling lately but hasn't been anywhere near as bad as some make him out.

We were very fortunate that Kenny went off as Fess was then moved on to Bode with great effect.

I thought he would have started on Henchell but obviously Kenny is rated higher by the Freo coaching staff.

Game-by-game goals for McGregor:

0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 2, 4, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 4, 1, 1, 0.

Now surely that's as bad as some make him out to be... :confused:

If the coaching staff honestly believed Kenny is more dangerous than Trent at the moment, IMO they got that wrong (though not much else).

Kenny is an important to the structure of our side - but when fit & firing - which he clearly hasn't been for some time. I hope he gets well soon & we get the old Kenny back that we have been missing.

No no no, he adds to the structure!

What a load of ****, he is a forward, his role is to kick goals, he has not done this and questions need to be asked.

Who cares if he takes the best defender? If he doesnt, someone else will, so he should retain his spot for that sole reason? Give me a break.

And the relevance of the above is???

Do you have any clue as to what Kenny's role in the team has been? What Neil Craig expects of him??

I know - we need Meesen at CHF!! :rolleyes:

I know that while he was on that Bode was running amok.

Mate, you seriously need to get a grip about Meesen. I said he was pathetic yesterday, and he shouldn't be in the Crows side. What more do you want macca? :rolleyes:

Now I would actually like to hear your views on why McGregor is so extremely crucial to our forward line. As Blue Red and Gold said, he's in the side to kick goals, take a contested mark, and he is having no effect on the game, he is a liability.

Do you know?

You don't know and I don't know, but Neil Craig does.

Just over a week ago, Craig said that he could not understand the negativity among some supporters as to McGregor's performance, as he was doing the job that he asked him to do.

I'll back Neil Craig's opinion over yours and Drummond's.
