I didn't think 4 tackles was impressive. The fact it led the team is embarrassing. 4 tackles and 3 contested possessions is hardly showing intent.

Fair enough, I was reading it in a broader context. SPS should definitely move up the field, don't agree on Cuningham though.Because that is equivalent to experimenting with SPS and Cuningham on the wings totally man aha sorry.
Newnes and Cottrell wingers 5ever. Don’t fix what ain’t broken
Right ideology, lots of the wrong players, and completely bypassing the coaching and development staff.

Wouldn't be surprised it's because he knows there's change coming in the assistant coaching ranks. He did let slip whenever he bashes the club they ring him but hadn't this time, I think he knows a bit about what goes on at the club, may not be involved but probably knows a little. Just wants the players to take it on themselves a bit more.
My mate who was physio for the swans, now at the swifts, has 1 huge reason he's absolutely loved the change. 'the men are the laziest pricks ever, they don't know how to do anything for themselves. The girls can look after themselves and take interest in learning how to look after themselves, most of the guys just expect stuff to happen without them doing anything.'
And that's the swans! With their high performance culture! Imagine calling an afl player lazy but that's exactly what he was doing.

What are the being managed for? They looking at retirement villages that day?
Knowing Carlton, if they ever did drop those two they would be 'managed' and not play VFL rather than 'omitted' and play VFL.

I’d love to see Murphy, Willo and SPS dropped to the vfl. For a few reasons. Murphy would ******* hate it and I get to go watch it transpire live.
Based off a few rumours I think we will see stocker and owies for Murphy and Williamson this week. Makes sense. The following will be in the firing line the week after or the next with the returns of Martin, JSOS, TDK and Newman.
1. SPS
2. Kennedy
3. Gibbons
4. Casboult
5. Betts
6. Newnes
7. McGovern
8. Curnow
9. Docherty
our side over the next month could look like this:
Parks Weiters Newman
Stocker Jones Saad
Pittonet Walsh Ramsay
Cotterell Cripps Williams
Martin TDK Fogarty
JSOS McKay Owies
INT: Doc, Newnes, Plowman and Curnow
EMERG: Cuningham
1. SPS
2. Kennedy
3. Gibbons
4. Casboult
5. Betts
6. Newnes
7. McGovern
8. Curnow
9. Docherty

Didn’t have him out earlier in the week but I think Newnes has to be dropped for that lack of effort on the wing in the second half v port
Bring LOB in and park him on the wing
Out Newnes, Willo, Murphy, Dow
In LOB, Cunners, Stocker, Owies
Use Gov as a swing man when required down back and play Kennedy as a 3rd tall forward swapping with Cripps when he needs a rest
Give Cunners Murphy’s role
Find a whiteboard and write TACKLE on it.......Drop anyone who doesn’t

Rather see Davey C. and Stocker.
Owies would be sub....
Play him a half in the VFL and then give him the green vest and send him to docklands

At this point, I prefer Walsh back on a wing
It's less appealing with an out of form Setterfield in the 2s though.
Out of form being played in the wrong position
Imagine weits on a HFF, Fish bp, cripps at HB

I am so with you on this.
I know Walsh could be anything, and maybe it’s short sighted of me, but I think the best thing for us right now is to play to our strengths rather than take players out of their ideal positions.
Walsh is as hard a runner as I’ve seen since maybe Robert Harvey or Braddles, and his ability to be in the right place at the right time is second to none. Not sure why we want to park him at the centre bounces and in the heart of the stoppages. I’d rather have a Stocker or Dow in there, play to THEIR strengths, what we drafted them for.
Cottrell and Walsh on the wings has the gut running we need to get back and help out the defence.
By mid season, this is what I want to see
Plow Weits Parks
Doc Jones Saad
TDK Cripps Setters
Walsh Williams Newnes
Gibbo Levi(OMac if fit) SPS
Fish Harry Martin
4 of (whoever is fit and in form)
LOB, Ramsay, Stocker, Ed, JSOS, Carroll, Dow, Newman, Philp, Cotts, Kemp, Durdin, Kennedy, Honey, Cuners
Charlie hopefully at some stage
No more Murphy or Betts

Ed Curnow??
Missed him, part of the "4 of"
Yeah, definitely in the wrong position, but there were other issues in the Suns game, and would have been nice if he put in a decent performance in the 2s last week to force his way back in.

Deep down we all know they won't make the necessary changes
and if they do make any changes Setterfield will be first in
Mine would be
FF - Sam Petrevski-Seton - Harry McKay - Michael Gibbons
HF - David Cuningham - Levi Casboult - Lachie Fogarty
C - Zac Williams - Sam Walsh - Matthew Cottrell
HB - Adam Saad - Jacob Weitering - Sam Docherty
FB - Luke Parks - Liam Jones - Lachie Plowman
Fol - Marc Pittonet - Patrick Cripps - Ed Curnow
Bench - Liam Stocker - Paddy Dow - Mitch McGovern - Sam Ramsey
23rd Man - Marc Murphy
IN - Luke Parks - David Cuningham - Sam Ramsey
OUT - Tom Williamson - Eddie Betts - Matthew Kennedy - Jack Newnes
If Parks is still injured McGovern to Back Pocket and Owies in
and if they do make any changes Setterfield will be first in
Mine would be
FF - Sam Petrevski-Seton - Harry McKay - Michael Gibbons
HF - David Cuningham - Levi Casboult - Lachie Fogarty
C - Zac Williams - Sam Walsh - Matthew Cottrell
HB - Adam Saad - Jacob Weitering - Sam Docherty
FB - Luke Parks - Liam Jones - Lachie Plowman
Fol - Marc Pittonet - Patrick Cripps - Ed Curnow
Bench - Liam Stocker - Paddy Dow - Mitch McGovern - Sam Ramsey
23rd Man - Marc Murphy
IN - Luke Parks - David Cuningham - Sam Ramsey
OUT - Tom Williamson - Eddie Betts - Matthew Kennedy - Jack Newnes
- SPS to Rich
- Curnow to Neale
- Cuningham to rotate between wing and HFF
- Dow on the ball inside mid
- McGovern as a defender looked better there last week.. His not a Forward
- Williams to rotate wing and HBF
- Cottrell to Robinson
- Plowman to Cameron
- Gibbons back to small forward role
If Parks is still injured McGovern to Back Pocket and Owies in
It's just inexplicable that we played him on the wing those first 2 weeks.
Parks is out for 1-2 weeks.Deep down we all know they won't make the necessary changes
and if they do make any changes Setterfield will be first in
Mine would be
FF - Sam Petrevski-Seton - Harry McKay - Michael Gibbons
HF - David Cuningham - Levi Casboult - Lachie Fogarty

HB - Adam Saad - Jacob Weitering - Sam Docherty

23rd Man - Marc Murphy

OUT - Tom Williamson - Eddie Betts - Matthew Kennedy - Jack Newnes
Everyone plays or rotates through their best positions.. If Parks is still injured
- SPS to Rich
- Curnow to Neale
- Cuningham to rotate between wing and HFF
- Dow on the ball inside mid
- McGovern as a defender looked better there last week.. His not a Forward
- Williams to rotate wing and HBF
