Nothing to add. 100% spot on.
We've been in this position before. Resting mids like Berry / Crouch etc playing off half forward doesn't work. Murphy has some forward craft and gives his all, he hasn't had the best weeks the last 2 games but he has some friends there... If he goes out we need a good hard runner with good vision. Cook / McHenry (but his skills can't match his vision).
Parnell for Milera, Gollant for one of Tex or Fog. Schoey out for Berry. Keays to play defensive fwd role on Stewart all day. Would like to see Newchurch in, but the Cattery is not the place to debut - maybe at home against the Saints, or the Bullies game on Mars.
Why drop Fogarty?
1 x spare ticket to the game this weekend if anyone wants it
When do we start thinking about post Tex? Last night was an eye opener that we aren't going to win a flag with him. Which is sad, but if we are ruthless how do we get there? Maybe not this week but at some point this season we need to give TT a block of games as the second key.
Milera needs to go find out if he wants to be an AFL footballer in the twos.
Murphy gets a reprieve this week but he needs to perform or he's out for McHenry.
Keays struggled last night because his teammates didn't trust him with his disposal to give it to him. If he's not playing midfield and not getting the ball forward.. what's he providing?
Out: Milera, Keays, Schoenberg (sub)
In: Parnell, Berry, McHenry (sub)

Out of interest did you miss the part where Keays played lockdown roles on Mithcell & Daicos at different parts of the game? He is clearly our best defensive forward when playing on half backs (Saad, Daicos)
Milera has to go. The bloke offers absolutely nothing. Does not defend. Offers zero drive. Turns the ball over.
We have blokes like Cook, Nankervis and Worrell that offer more. Why he keeps getting picked is utterly beyond me. He was awful in the preseason games, but we couldn't wait to pick him. Sometimes we can't see the forrest for the trees.

If Nicks keeps picking him he's not serious about winning. It's as simple as that.
And goes for a casual jog when he receive the ball allowing the opposition to set up behind the ball.

If walker plays like he did last night he won't get another contract. I'm not sure this Thilthorpe ruck experiment is working. I would rather him up forward going for his marks as he did in the showdown and last night against Moore. Give Walker a 2 week break to freshen him up and lets see what a forward line of Fog, Thilthorpe and Gollant can do.
You can't get picked as a lockdown only player. One of Keays and Murphy need to make way.
I've chosen Keays.

I'd be bringing in Cook for a run this week. Milera for an long stint in the 2's.
Also considering switching Murphy for McHenry. Like 1 in the side, not both. But think McHenry offers a bit more in terms of the leadup. Happy for Murphy to be the sub.

I think Parnell for Milera and McHenry for Murphy, with Murphy as sub.
Would like Berry in there, but not sure who for.

Would love to see Nank for Milera!
Berry for Murph also a good call.
I’d also love to see Peds get a couple of CBAs a quarter. He is just see ball get ball and would likely improve our clearance efforts
He’s a 20 yo beanstalk taking 6 contested marks in the wet
You don’t do that if you’re soft and it’s rare air for a 20 yo tall to do that let alone in the rain
Give us a break
*edit - Thilthorpe is equal 3rd in contested marks in the whole AFL and he’s played one less game , I think some people are sleeping on now well he’s going and where he could get to

After watching the sanfl I think there’s enough growth in Hately to get him in for a crack
Who to squeeze out , I’m going to finally say Murphy
Sloane and Soligo to play that high forward role and continue to play mid minutes too
Ins Hately Parnell Gollant
Outs Murphy Milera one of Tex/Fog depending on who needs rest more
Also Schoenberg to sanfl and Cook sub

His Hatley worth another look or have we called time on him?
Edit - okay same question as above

Milera, Shoey and I'd give Walker a rest.

Thanks, sorry for some reason I didn't see your post even though it was posted 2 minutes before
