Who should pay the price?

Okay well dropping Walker would be insane. Aside from that...

1. Petrenko - on thin ice. Saved by the fact he's one of the few decent tacklers we have. We need more goals though.
2. Reilly - safe but should be under the pump. He's the king of clangers at the moment and its costing us dearly.
3. Johncock - on very thin ice, If he doesn't play back, I don't think we can carry him anymore.
4. Porplyzia - had an excellent finals series but he's only shown glimpses of that sort of form this year.
5. Jaensch - gone the second Brodie Smith is fit.

Also I'd sooner see a broom go through our list before I'd dream of sacking Sando. At the moment he's still playing mostly Neil Craig's list. I want to see how we look in 5 years.

You do realise that he is on track for 30 goals right? Would be a more than acceptable return from a small forward.

Drop Reilly and put Johncock back to defence, we can still keep the same ratio of experience to inexperience, and Stiffy will at least try to provide some run and creativity out of defence which we are so sorely lacking at the moment. Reilly not a great one on one defender so we don't lose a great deal by dropping him.

I'm more concerned about the decline in his tackle count, which I thought would be a must for a defensive forward and was his role in the team, 6:4:2. At that rate he won't have a tackle against WB.

What is also of concern to me is those three dropped marks inside forward 50 in the showdown.

Yep, mine was a little dig for the posters who accepted his 5 possession game against Essendon because he laid 6 tackles and that's what he was in the side to do. Neade is a natural small forward, Pets is a forced small forward. It's not natural for him.

Bassett made a good point in today's Advetiser that he should be spending sometime in the midfield as its a very hard role to play.

Drop taylor walker for a game or two too. He lacks the work rate he requires to be a really great forward. Likes kicking goals too much and doesn't like running enough.

Yawn...

He lays 6 tackles - people aren't happy because he isn't getting the footy.
He gets 13 possessions - kicks 1.1 with a goal assist against Port - people aren't happy because he had 2 tackles.
He gets 11 touches - 2 goals (including the vital sealer) - 4 tackles and a goal assist against Brisbane and he had a shit half and should be dropped.

Poor Pets just can't win.

Or in some posters eyes he can't lose

He's victim to Sauce's drop in form as much as Tex.

If the ball is not getting in to be trapped in.. he can't tackle.
