Or you could look at it as having your leaders being unavailable providing an opportunity for someone younger to show some leadership.

But no, we'll just patch up our experienced players and have them going at 50% instead of giving someone else an opportunity to step up.

I can see that to.

Out of our senior players only 2 are playing well

Smithers, patches of ok Footy. But overall looks like he is close to done.

RoB. Plenty been said about his poor form.

Keays. Panic merchant.

Doedee. Been playing injured.

Hinge. In and out of the team.

Dawson. Looked brilliant as loose man. Struggling with a player on him.

Milera. Looks physically slow.



Tex. Our best forward. Having a good season

Laird. Finally showing he can do actual damage and not just accumulate

It would be a shocking move for defense first Nicks to suddenly pick the worst defensive player in our entire squad this week (Frampton) with Doedee out.

Has to be Worrell. Or he should be straight on the phone to his manager asking for a trade

Worst 1-1 lock-down defender

He has shown he has some cracking defensive abilities as an intercept and play-making defender.

I bet you would love a defensive trio of Butts, Butts, Butts, yeah? Still hoping for 70's style footy to come back...

We'll call it the Scorpus' Stripshow formation...

So am I correct in summarising that Doedee hasn’t been able to train properly due to injury but we’ve been playing him anyway. This from a side that can’t make the finals, has young players it could blood during a rebuild? Same shit, different year at AFC.

i know all players have niggles this time of year, but a player that for an extended period can’t train properly, is in terrible form but keeps getting selected despite having young players that could be blooded during a rebuild. Our coaches are even bigger numpties than I thought.

What you said about Frampton at training is very interesting (and I am not a fan of his).
If his kicking and SANFL form are that good, could we use him in the current Dawson role, ie mopping up in the backline?
Serious question, AFC979810 too.

That'd free Dawson up to play wing/forward where he is most effective.

100%

I haven't even written off his chances of becoming a decent KPD, aside from an intercept/play-maker.

Attacking from defense is not defending. Nicks only selects defense-first players, so I'd be surprised if he picked Frampton.

In any case Frampton's papers were stamped earlier in the season when Butts was injured and he couldn't get a game. Will be delisted in a few months

Thilthorpe was the only name I heard who left training under an injury cloud.

I'm trying to track the source of the rumour now .....off one of the Fantasy boards ....they don't usually troll

In retrospect, that radio segment of Nicks where he was talking up Frampton is pretty funny. I guess he didn't rate him at Port or the Crows.
