He's not a dominant ruck he's more a forward/2nd ruck for AFL level imo so he won't get picked they'll go with the Dixon/Westhoff/Dougal thing again if Ryder is still out... played well though Bill

So some wonder why the negativity around the club. Seems everything is running smoothly and we're playing aesthetic and dangerous football with good talent coming through the twos.
I'd make him fit at least to see what he can do I doubt our coaching staff will is all I mean't

Really all Billy has to do is compete at the bounce then hunt the loose ball like Jacko did. He has a few cm on Jacko and is mobile so could do that.
He is good overhead and can cover the ground. He even shows some forward nous.
But then he could have done that this week and earlier this year.

Good points better forward than Jacko too
He’s been pretty dominant the past 3-5 weeks. And certainly likely to be more impactful than Dixon westhoff will be.
It’s the sheer stupidity of it though. He’s signed up for next year. We could be heading into finals
Anybody with a single brain cell would have used Ryder’s injury to find out if we have an afl ready backup before finals
To pass over that chance again when we have I don’t know what the * to lose by picking Frampton. It boggles the ******* mind. It’s almost stupidity for stubbornness sake. I’m at the point now where I honestly believe If Hinkley got trapped under a boulder he would 127 hours his free hand just to stick it to the boulder trapping him.

From what i gather they dont think anyone outside what we are playing as rucks are good enough. Highly unlikely Billy ever plays.
Frampton doesn’t need to dominate at AFL level, he isn’t probably going to be out long term #1 ruck option, that’s why we got Hayes, he is what the club view as our long term #1 ruck option.
Frampton can however come in, compete in the ruck rotate with Dixon and kick a few goals up foward which he has demonastated he can do.

He's only 21 with another year on his contract it's not a hopeless situation for him.

Chad did the unimaginable sin when he coached this side, he tried to get them to win. Trying to learn an AFL gameplan during what should be a competitive game is sheer lunacy. Teach the team to win and let the AFL coach get them to play a senior game if they get called up.

Not sure the game plan was to blame for today's loss, to be honest.
We blew a shitload of gettable chances, which obviously hurts on the scoreboard but is a momentum killer too. We had to play a bunch of amateur league standard academy players and only had five 185-plus cm players (Ladhams, Frampton, Bonner, Hewett and Johnson) compared to Glenelg's 10.
23 scoring shots a piece and +11 inside 50s (52-41).

It’s a balancing act, need to get them to learn their role to assist them if and when they come up to the AFL level but they also need to learn to win, Chad had it right last year when the games there to be won win it. Built a winning culture!

Chad also had a much better, more experienced and well balanced side including Ah Chee, Young, Eddy, Krakouer, Sharrad, Tom Gray, Palmer, Lobbe, Austin, etc.

Plus a low injury toll and stable 22 in the Power which gave the Magpies a more stable line up. I find team stability and predictability to be a really underrated thing. The more players play together, the better they gel as a team and the better the performances will be. The opposite is true as well and I think we've probably seen a bit of that this year at the Magpies.

Agree but the balance is completely wrong at the moment, players need to know how to score goals and win. Playing like an AFL team doesn't translate to the SANFL, skills and winning should be the two priorities, not the play-on-at-all-costs mania that you find in the AFL.
saw the first half before the app decided to fail me.
some thoughts:
- Ladhams looked laconic and disintrerested for having to play key back
- i was impressed by hewitt relishing midfield time with next to no help. Atley drew trengove etc not playing has really helped him flourish and i think hes showig hes going to be a solid player.
- neade was legitimatly our chf
-frampton well look. he has football nous shown by the lowering of the eyes hit up kick but hes just not a ruckman. Undersized and got beaten imo by jesse white. Yes he was good around the ground but why play him in the ruck when hes not suited. i think he is getting done by not having a clear position on the ground

While I agree that the side has been gutted, I still think Lokan is a downgrade on Cornes.
This would be the side if everyone was fit though.

HF: Farrell - Frampton - Neade
C: Barry - Atley - Irra
HB: Bonner - Lienert - Broadbent
B: McKenzie - Hombsch - Toumpas
R: Hayes - Trengove - Summerton (C)
INT FROM: Amon - Patmore - Drew - Garner - Hewett - Snelling
This is the side that played today

If the AFL rule changes go through there is no way we will be in this comp for much longer.
Good
I'd grit my teeth and improve my forward craft even more, just because we don't play him doesn't mean another side won't.

Lokan said that we improved from last week because we won all the stats. Hell we fell 10 goals behind. What a joke all of this is.
Surely we can't keep Farrell in the 2s anymore. If either SGray or Thomas can only get 1 goal tops against GWS, they should be out.
