Not who is in and out specifically. The philosophy of selection this week.
Here is what I would say if I was picking the team this week:
1. Silvagni must stay in. In a team of marshmallows this guy never shirks a contest. He puts his body on the line every time it's his turn. He backs himself to take marks and he hates to lose. Get rid of Duffield if we have to make room for him. I don't give a **** if he isn't the best kick in the team. We need players who will make a statement with their desire to win every contest.
2.McPhee comes back. Bit of a no brainer but with he and SOS in the team we have some hardcore kamikazes. Tell them to tackle, shepherd and hurt the opposition. I wouldn't care if he got suspended, make a statement.
3. Hill to a wing. Not a centre bounces not following the ball. Running end to end on one side of the ground. Receiving from the defenders, running the ball through the centre and taking the game on. License to have shots on goal from anywhere in the 55M arc. Bounce the ball, take the game on, run around players. Run as hard and as far as you can Steven.
4. DeBoer and Lower to the centre bounce. I remember DeBoer winning the first 2 clearances of a game last year and never going in there again. What is that shit? One job Matty. Go straight at the ball in dispute, hit the contest as hard as is humanly possible, get the ball and distribute it. Follow the clearances around the ground and be a wrecking ball. Run straight, hard and fast at the ball in dispute.
5. **** defensive forwards. Lets pick forwards who can create and kick goals and have them defend when not in possession but primarily tell them to kick goals. Put Crozier, Walters & Ballantyne in the forward setups and give them license to use all their skills, be as hungry as they want. Just kick goals.
6. Find someone apart from Hill that is prepared to run end to end all game and offer some spread and linking up from clearances. No more players standing flat footed inside the back half casting around desperately for someone, anyone that wants to take responsibility to carry the ball. Lets give Sheridan a chance, tell him to run and carry.
7. It's balls to the wall from here. If you don't give effort you're out. I don't care who you are. I'd rather see us line up with Menagola, Sutcliffe, Sheridan, Neale, Crozier than flakes who have had too many chances. I know this last is stupid and unrealistic but I'm not actually in charge so I can say what I want and have some fun with it
