Problem probably is that there are no twos at the moment, so how do you play them back into form if you drop them?I don't know who I'd like to see come in or if there needs to be mass changes or whatever. All I know is
OUT - HAYWARD AND BLAKEY.
(It's for their own good - 'dropped' is not a dirty word in a developing side!)

Difficult, difficult choices... especially with a team full of youngsters
Poor Naismith, really hard luck
Love your optimism but after last night's showing, we'll be lucky to kick 38!Melbourne had an unexpected bye, I reckon you blokes will carve them up as a result, they will be soft. Swans by 38.
My ideal scenario would look something like this, though it won't happen as it requires more puzzle pieces being moved around than Horse would be willing:
IN - McCartin, Clarke (yep) and Gould/O'Connor (depending on form?)
OUT - Blakey, Taylor, Hayward
McCartin replaces Sinclair. He and McLean are the two talls forward, like against North Melbourne. Their mobility freed Heeney up as well.
Sinclair and Aliir share ruck duties. Aliir did very well against Gawn last year, but will need help, hence Sinclair keeps his spot.
Gould/O'Connor replaces Aliir down back while he's rucking, and also fills in for Mills while he is in the midfield.
Mills replaces Parker at CBAs, because Parker is inside 50 being a better, stronger, more accurate Hayward as a medium forward.
Clarke then takes over tagging duties from Hewett (Clarke's disposal cannot be worse than what we saw against the Bulldogs), and Hewett becomes that skilful pressure half forward that Taylor is not exactly thriving as.
There. Simple as.
Agree.. in saying that though, there are guys that Id love to see get a game.I’m making minimal changes the more I reflect
Naismith is forced
there’s guys who probably should be dropped but off a good win last week and factoring in no proper reserves I’d be tempted to say go out there and redeem
Yourselves
I agree mostly, but think Taylor is slowly coming good and doing better than the majority of our team.My ideal scenario would look something like this, though it won't happen as it requires more puzzle pieces being moved around than Horse would be willing:

Oh, really? You don't say...Should be a winnable game.
Horse should make an example of someone like Hayward.
If we get the North game effort should be in the contest.
Having watched the game now we were all over them at the start but could not transfer it to the scoreboard then dropped the bundle late in the first quarter fro some reason.
Got to win that first quarter. We always seem to be making a late run and that will not work out well over the long haul - answer is f’ed if I know. Something is amiss.
Really, it depends on the person and what they react to best. Second guessing someone with Horse's level of experiencing in developing youngsters is not somewhere I'd want to go...Let them have a run around in the scratch matches. Far from ideal but I think they'd get the rocket up the arse they need/more confidence from thriving at a lower level, than by continuing to flounder at senior level, which I think can have a legitimate impact on their development. Sometimes you need something to just stop the rot, one week even can do that.
It's also just about setting standards. Rowbottom and McInerney were two of the only ones who worked their absolute back-sides off against the Bulldogs, because they probably had the two least-safe spots in the team as the youngest. Blakey and Hayward haven't yet had to contend with that level of accountability, and it's showing.
You forgot the 'there!'Well, I am. So
