My take:
OUT: Newnes, Gibbons, Philp
IN: O'Brien, Fisher, JSOS
Newnes could not be more uninspiring with the football, and it's surely time for him to go watch some tape and discover something other than stutter stepping for 15 metres before disposing the ball. He's lost a yard and it feels like kicking it to him is sending your team's possession off to die.
Gibbons is where you send it to watch it die spectacularly. I can't recall the last time he kicked the ball inside 50 and it wasn't a turnover. I'll take a 50/50 ball at this point, let alone a kick to advantage. We just crush our forwards' spirits by giving him so many opportunities in that area, and I'm certain that the opposition now structure for it.
Philp was basically a sheepdog beyond a Joe the Goose goal. Yes, that was his role, but he had 12 pressure acts and zero tackles in the first half. Not good enough right now, and that's ok.
Have at it, I guess?
