Wishful thinking on Dougie, pretty confident he’s got a few weeks yet. I’d love to be wrong, but I fear he’s here to stay for a while.

Wishful thinking on Dougie, pretty confident he’s got a few weeks yet. I’d love to be wrong, but I fear he’s here to stay for a while.
McHenry is injured.
I wouldn’t be against Stengle or Macadam but I don’t think his fitness is good enough based on the article this week.
CEY will come in for Gibbs if fit so they won’t have a spot for Wilson.
Douglas is showing he’s not up to it and we still pick him. Jones needs to be developed and at least offers speed.

It won't be Gibbs, we've dropped him off better games.
No way Gibbs gets another game, that soft effort against Hawkins would have ruled him out.
See how desperate I am for something resembling a bet.
Just got a feeling this is a baton down the hatches back everyone in week to avoid looking like we are panicking.
Dont agree with it but think that's how the club will see it
Jones is being developed he plays every week he was given 4 or 5 games and clearly showed he isn't ready let's see if Wilson stengle macadam are ready
Eh is developing and not ready we desperately need JJ back what I saw of Davis trys hard but nowhere near lynch output
If as suggested stengle will only get a game if Betts is out after last night's effort does it mean stengle cones in

Club are only interested in winning if you think they do things to appease people you probably believe in UFO"s aswell

Jones last 2 games were against Brisbane and West Coast and showed as much as Douglas, one has a future though.
Betts is our leading goal kicker, he ain’t getting dropped.
This game wasn’t lost because of our forwards, it was on our midfield who got cleaned up after half time.

Possibly, but they've dropped Gibbs on one of them before.
The other thing is our forward line didn’t concede 2.1 at the end of the first 3 quarters. That was pathetic.
This is where you confuse me elite you want dougy dropped because of his performance and want Jones in because he performs like him
Jones and Douglas aren't up to it at the moment Jones is a year away from contributing at AFL level
Davis isn't ready yet EH needs more development
As we now mchenry isn't ready physically yet
Give stengle Wilson macadam a crack next

So you’re finally agreeing Douglas isn’t up to it?
Jones is a very talented kid who will only get better the more games he plays at this level. That’s the difference and why I want him in.
McHenry is injured, how many times do you need to be told that?

No he's just not ready physically, like all those small players before him. Brent Harvey wasn't ready, Eddie Betts isn't ready, Caleb Daniel........ the list of "Not ready" players who are playing is so long you have to wonder why any talent ID guys have jobs.
Mchenry was reported to be carrying general soreness from playing SANFL the other week he clearly is struggling with the bigger bodies in the SANFL he needs to develop to get used to that before playing AFL
Jones will develop and has been given games like Douglas isn't up to it atm due to form Jones isn't up to it atm because he isnt ready
We have three players far more developed in Wilson macadam and stengle that we need to see if they have it or not
The classic thing about you ius your saying dougy needs to be dropped because of his output and are saying Jones provided the same output as dougy. Are you taking the kids saying we want someone with low output

The Americans have just updated their procedures for military pilots reporting UFOs, according to them, sightings are more frequent.
Believe.
I’ve explained my position on Jones, it’s in the post you quoted.
Wilson only gets a game in the midfield, if CEY is fit he replaces Gibbs who is he coming in for?
McAdam stated in an article this week he’s still building his fitness so I doubt we see him this year.
Stengel replaces either of Murphy or Betts, they are playing the small forward role.
Douglas is playing the half forward pushing up the ground role, Stengle doesn’t have the endurance for that. Jones does.
McHenry was quoted as being sore and taking a hit on his sore spot.
So we agree Jones clearly isn't ready and mchenry is too sore
Come on elite work it out

Douglas was so panicky with ball in hand and so inclined to slip over without it he looked like the first gamer in our forward line.
I actually forgot Gibbs was playing for a long stretch in the first half.
I’m not sure who won in the end as Channel 7 replaced the footy coverage with a moving documentary about a Geelong player who might never walk again.

Watch them bring David Mackay back.
Smashed in the midfield. 63-40 inside 50s.
Our defence held up well. Forwards were dangerous in the first 1.5 quarters when the ball actually got there.
Gibbs must go. Menzel and Hampton played non competitive games like that and in both cases it was their last for the club. Needs a role change at SANFL level to refresh.
Douglas I am ambivalent about. In a low possession role. Wasn’t a factor either way. Time for someone younger and quicker.
Davis invisible in a tough intro. At least he competed. Should get a second look at AFL before going back to reserves.
Assume injured guys still injured:
Gibbs -> Jones
Douglas -> Poholke
If CEY is ready he comes back for Davis and Greenwood goes forward again.

Unfortunately Pyke has a like for like mindset
He doesnt seem to use injuries as an opportunity to provide a different look structure wise

I’ve said McHenry is injured.
No I’ve not said Jones isn’t ready, I see given the role, he is a better option than what you came up with and the more games he plays will see him improve.
