Warner is not a small forward.
Wicks leads on multiple stats both for this season and over their careers on averages regardless of how much you try to spin it.

“Could be a HORRIBLE mistake here!” Music to my ears.
Campbell is getting games he doesn't deserve due to the team winning anyways. They're trying to develop him, but I don't see much evidence of it working. Not all junior stars go on to be senior ones. That's just how it is. He lacks the elite strength and/or athleticism to be a star at senior level. His level seems to be 25th or so on our list.
Fox is CLEARLY the better player. Hope he is back next week.

not the same player per say but if Parker was available next week I think he would come in for wick's and least get a chance.
He has great goal sense as we have seen , can pinch in the middle or play mid in the forward 50 stoppages.
Besides pace let’s not talk garbage he is twice the player wicks is and Adams as FORWARD that is
Impact is impact how ever you want to spin it and he would be another threat teams would have to watch in the air and at stoppages in the 50
He will play this year and I bet he will be hungry as **** like no other year as he knows he is replaceable now unlike years before
He makes us better and experience goes a long way when the game slows up in September

I have no doubt our coaching staff respect Luke as much as ever and if circumstances change, he will be straight back in the squad.
But at the present moment it’s entirely a hypothetical.

Can't say I noticed too many mistakes from him? Wasn't he on Brown who went goalless?

Can’t be that fit. Only beat the Roos by 3 points. Frankly I am disappointed, expected more.

On another note
I can't even find the speech to watch

The big question is: Does the manic pressure Wicks create have more or less impact than the space Sam Reid creates?

McLean should of had 5 in50 contested marks last night
He is sick a threat deep forward and that’s his strength and makes us even better
And playing McDonald in the ruck for stints and getting him amongst it early is helping him
If McDonald can be an outlet kick then these 2 change in roles will only make us better

No offence intended, but... Chad is an elite athlete with hourly contact with elite sports physiotherapists and doctors.I hope Chad pulls up ok.
The way he fell on his shoulder is exactly the motion for a dislocation… may have even been a temporary subluxation? If there has been any damage whatsoever, he must be rested/rehab’ed till it’s 100% right. (I have some knowledge in this area having dislocated my shoulder 4 times)
Heeney is playing with a shoulder injury, Chad probably will too...

How many wins in a row before the thread isn't about all the guys we should drop
I don't think some saw how slow Parker looked in the VFL, he was cooked by the end of those games.
He and others may come in and some get dropped , but for now it seems guy play a role.
I mean discuss what you want, but think there's a lot of positives to look at too.

Roberts and Campbell have been dropped in that runHow many wins in a row before the thread isn't about all the guys we should drop

Is what it is
I feel like the way that we're talking is really damned if you, damned if you don't sort of stuff.
The way I see it we have two options
1. We don't change anything and lose
2. We mix stuff around, bring in Parker and drop Wicks, and we lose
Which will look dumber in hindsight? Because I think you need a very good reason to change a forward line that consistently creates over 100 points a game, and if we lose after changing what has worked all year, I'm going to go ahead and say that looks pretty dumb.

Yep, not having a go. Clearly they drop poor performers then, but they haven't dropped Wicks or picked Parker when fit, so perhaps that says something.
I'd just think we have other things to discuss.
Like Logan went to the ruck, you suggested it in the preview thread, look how well it worked

Sam Reid’s creating a lot of space so far in season 2024.

He was asked about Amartey having a down game after last weeks effort, and paraphrasing, but he said, " Oh you think he had a down one did you?" He got his back up a little and went on about competiting and playing his role, doing the team stuff. Yes it was about Amartry but , it applies to Wicks (IMO).
No one is saying people keep their spot because they are winning, but they keep it because they play a role.
Roberts was dropped, Fox has been dropped as Punts said, but Wicks hasn't which to me supports the idea that he is doing his job. Now if he gets dropped this week I will look a bit dumb, he is a role player who I see do little things that matter. Was yesterday his best game, not at all, he only did a couple of things, Maybe it is wrong to say the pressure is better with him in , Paps seems to have more space with him in, or maybe they are just true.
Lets see I guess. I just think the Horse answer on Amartey and the way he passionately responded to that speaks volumes.
But flip side I have whinged my **** off and been the most negative prick here often, so have at whatever you want of course
We all just want to win.

Basically what none of us like to admit is that we’re all dealing with a known unknown.

Swans need to do a cut of the Lizards dashes through the midfield, would watch it on repeat.

In addition, you're risking tinkering with a symmetry that has developed to sensational levels between the forward group, the mids and the forward group, all to bring new in...
As far as I can see, we will continue debuting players via the sub to ensure their long term development. We'll deal with the Mills and Parker issues when they come up...
This wasn't a bad game... we played well. Losing Melican gave them an opportunity to mount a comeback, and they did. They're a good team.
I really don't think Rowie is getting enough love! Heeney injured, Warner tagged... up steps Rowie! Sublime!!!!
Yes you’re right, but with a 3 game (plus %) buffer, I’d prefer they play it safe with Chad if need be.
Yes both he and Heeney can play with some shoulder injury/pain, but given our ladder position, I’m sure our medical staff will ‘manage’ them as required.

Hoping Heeney and Warner just had soreness rather than injuries? any actual reports?
