OK, whats up and how do we fix it?
Is it general fitness or the knee?
Is he really disinterested? Is there some problem with Ayres? I gather there is a rumour in Melbourne that he only re-signed with Adelaide as he was told that Gary would be gone at the end of the season.
Or is he pure and simple out of form and down on confidence?
My gut feel is we give him a week against Freo, as he usually has a day out against them and if he still looks this flat we consider playing him with Port Magpies. If he is out of touch he should run into form at the lower level. If he is disinterested it will be a significant wake up call that he is not above being dropped. This also has the advantage of giving some of our lesser lights who are playing OK more of a chance.
Thoughts??
