Dropping the kids from the richmond win last year worked. We really showed them.

Yeo. In Langdon's case though it's pretty much only Petch to push him out. XON has Yeo, Kelly, Shuey to contend with.
Is this like Adam Simpson does things? Yes is the answer.
Why you all so surprised?
You didn’t actually think he was going to do things differently did you?

Absolutely cooked selections.
What incentive is there for West, Hough and especially XON to produce spirited performances if they get the ass straight away.
They should have kept their spots with the others made to earn their spots through the WAFL.
Why is Cripps an automatic selection after fumbling his way through 75% of the last 3 seasons?

Win and Simpson looks like a genius, getting season back on track. Shuey goes out with a hammy and we get towelled up... OH MY. IT WILL BE GLORIOUS IN HERE!
West apparently 'Couldn't be considered', so there's something else in play there.
Cripps comes in for Waterman, a player the majority of posters have been complaining about.
XON is replaced by Shuey/Kelly/Yeo. Do you think he could out-perform any of those 3?
Cripps would be as fit as a fiddle as he as been able to get the miles in the legs. I have no problem with Cripps in. He was able to maintain his footy touch, just not the strong physical stuff. He'll be good to go. He is one of our main up and back guys.

Well my silver lining is this,
When the 'real' drop comes its going to be savage.
Top picks galore...to be used on half back flankers

Bizarre stuff. Except for Cripps, we aren’t bringing back the maligned ones (Sheed, Gaff, Petch). TK and Yeo are our genuine gold standard mids. Shuey is our captain. All are walk up starts. And guarantee that the same would happen at 17 other clubs.
We have Williams in the ruck, a big opportunity. Harry Edwards to hold down a key position spot. Naish and JJ etc. I would have liked O’Neill to slot in somewhere, but my god, he was derided and completely written off before a ball was bounced to start the season. Now he is the martyr
And the way things are going, there probably will be a late change. But anyway melt on.

Does that make us too tall with a resting ruck?
Shuey and Kelly have only missed 2 games. It's not like they've been on long lay-off's (obviously Shuey had pre season issues, but he was decent in r2).
Yeo has come back through the WAFL.
Xon has pretty much shown he needs to play inside mid, or inside mid at a lower level. With the 3 ins, plus Redden, JJ, Rioli - he's just not going to get that time on-ball. He's done his part and is next in line as we need an inside mid, but that isn't this week.
Cripps, I get some of the frustration, but hopefully he brings high pressure (the one thing that stood out from his 1st up stats posted earlier was that in 3 out of 4 games referenced he had 5+ tackles). We can never have too much forward pressure.
Hough out, I am assuming he may be a but sore, or they are worried he might be over doing it in his 1st year. It's probably the most disappointing one regarding selection but least likely to influence the result.

The changes make sense when looked at it like this. Would have probably liked Hough in over Rotham but the rest speak for themselves. We have to get games into this midfield trio so they can build chemistry
Come on. Yeo and Kelly and Captain Shuey. All must stay in the WAFL until further notice. We can’t have our best players at AFL level

In no world does O’Neill play ahead of Shuey, Yeo or Kelly. And Hough is a skinny kid in his first year. Very impressed with him thus far but not against managing his exposure to AFL.
Ochre
:o
It's all about continuity and if we can get some going from here out.
This is pretty much our best on-ball midfield for a while, so we need to get them playing games together.
Xon/West and co will be provide the depth for injuries and covid during the year.
Also how good to have Rioli, Ryan and Cripps in the same team again. Plus JJ.

I would also have preferred Hough in over Rotham but he's a very skinny first year player, let's not ruin him too early as he has years ahead.
When I say I'm disappointed in the changes, it's a small disappointment, not something that I have thought about at length. Just an initial reaction.
I have watched the weekends game again and XON's game was mostly impressive for his ability to work under heavy duress against the odds. It wasn't a standout game where all his skills were on display and he was vying for BOG honours. It was more just good to see some fight, desire etc.
The one who stood out as a potential game changer was Naish. Had he been dropped I'd have been properly disappointed.
XON will be back at some point I am sure, I just hope we win this weeks game.

We played Waterman with Dixon and NN last week.
Whenever any of our players are asked about who is underrated at the club, they say Cripps is the bloke who'll work harder for the team than anyone.
I suspect they aren't saying this cos he's a charismatic outgoing bloke either.

I love the faith in the youth. Buy Xon hasn't been smashing it to the point that he keeps Kelly, Shuey or Yeo out. Hopefully Clark and Strnadica smash it in the WAFL and keep the pressure alive. Also hope West isn't injured again as they inferred in the selection blurb. I think the plan is to get the senior mids to play together for a while for a change with the new gameplan. The youths time will come.
