Doedee in.

Better not mean Worrell out.

Can't understand why we wouldn't have just iced him for the year.

I've said before, I think the difference is now we've got a predominantly young group, it's a more enjoyable environment for the young guys just from a pure numbers perspective you've got more people to relate to and get along with, so there's less desire to go back home.

Previously with a more mature list you've basically got a few younger guys on the outer surrounded by older guys who have their already formed friendship groups, or families that take priority and it's more difficult to be in a new situation with only a few guys your age to relate to and be friends with.

Add to that the amount of senior players in the past not playing well and still getting picked in front of you. It mustn’t have be fun playing SANFL when Thompson, Douglas, Mackay etc. are playing terribly and still got picked “for experience”

 

[Danger in Texas]

No Taylor debut (would’ve been announced by now) is disappointing

 

[crows dude]

Hopefully sub not required and they can play in sanfl game straight after.

Why drop Parnell?

 

[ftmch]

Can't understand why we wouldn't have just iced him for the year.

Agreed. The only upside might be to get a feel for how he and Worrell fit in the same side (assuming Worrel stays in - god knows he deserves to)

There will be a riot if Worrell gets dropped.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

There will be a riot if Worrell gets dropped.

Surely Doedee comes in for Hamill and we’ve also got Chayce with potential to play small defender

Perfect chance to play Dawson on wing again too

 

[Jeffcrowe]

I think we have been decent for most of the season, we just always have an absolutely horrible quarter and let a team pile on 6-8 goals without answer (Sydney, Hawks, Melbourne, Brisbane), while winning or breaking even in the other 3. Or don’t take our chances in front of goal in a game we dominate general play (Saints). Lost 3 games by less than 6 points (Freo, Essendon, Pies), all are games that we had opportunities to kill the game earlier and win by 2-3 goals. The only games I thought we truly didn’t turn up all game were Collingwood and Giants in first half of the year.

It’s an almost season, but definitely progress on last year and is setting up for a finals push even as early as next year, especially with Rankine added to the mix.

I reckon not beating the saints when we should have ( shocking goal kicking and execution ) and then not turning up against Hawthorn have cost us a big tick this season

I'd extend the Saints loss (admittedly the one game we really should've won) to the month between rounds 7-10 (inc. Giants, Blues, Lions games), pretty much a month of depressing performances

 

[dylan123]

Would really like to see Doedee behind Butts/Murray/Worrell. Gives him more freedom to do his thing.

Yep they were never going to be wins , even if we played better

The saints one should have been in the book

And the hawks game was just horrible, I think our worst of the year given opposition

At the end of last year I was dubious on us getting any more wins this year , gotta say I’m a little more positive about next year and hoping for 9-10 wins

 

[Danger in Texas]

Lmao

Agree they weren’t going to be wins. More about the nature of the loss than anything else, the GWS game is still one of the toughest games I’ve watched during our rebuild

Definitely more reason for optimism in the second half of the year overall. Still a good chance we could be shit next year again, but even more gradual improvement also not out of the question

 

[jackster83]

Interesting emergency list. Pretty conceivable that none of them will be on the list next year.

 

[thebirdman 24]

Good changes.

If Taylor was in it would be great.

[Scorpus]

Geez North are badly run. Why on earth would Clarkson choose to coach there?

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Lmao

Probably afraid he wouldn't get on the flight home.

 

[ftmch]

Good changes.

Taylor will get his chance early next year. Like that they're sticking with Harry

 

[Lawn Crow]

Really like the selections this week. Shame about JHF not playing.

 

[baldandbroke]

Only way is up?

Lots of scope for improvement?

Plenty of low hanging fruit?

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

I would've liked to have seen Taylor get a run but, overall, can't complain with those changes.

 

[Crow_68]

JHF, Greenwood omitted, tank alert.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Good changes.

Glad they didn’t pick Taylor then play him out of position

Good that Harry is playing

Taylor will hopefully get in if we cop a mid rotation injuries this week
