Surely we have someone pressuring Jones for his spot in the side?

Frampton I thought was pretty disappointing as a defender, looked slow and gave up pretty quickly. I do however like the potential going the other way, maybe one more game but mainly due to lack of alternative options.

Tough decisions this week.
Fog out maybe. Could probably use a week out of the 1's to just get rid of some frustrations.

Jones or McHenry a chance to be out as well, maybe both if Sloane's back. Macpherson should be fit as well. Hamill could come in for Jones if Ess have a fast player we need to lock down on.
 
Walker for Fog seems a given. Fog has had 3 weeks to show what he can without Tex in there and hasn't fired a shot. If they decide to bring Tex back in through the SANFL then Thilthorpe comes back in.

We have too many small forwads in the side currently, Berry to come in for Mchenry.

Frampton wasn't great, but I'd be OK to give him 1 more week. If he doesn't improve next week, then I'd like to see Mcasey come in for him.
 
Tex will come straight back in. Fog will go out on the back of two very quiet weeks, and because you can't drop Berg or Gollant off a 4-goal game.

Sloane will come straight back in if even halfway fit. They'll probably drop Cook given he was very quiet, though this is not the decision I would make.

If Murphy's injured Pedlar might yo-yo back into the team. Or someone like Berry? Our other small forwards didn't do a great deal, but not sure there's any better options?

Frampton was... less insipid than I expected. This is still a fair way from 'good', but I can see them giving him another few weeks.

You didn’t watch the seconds game did you . MCAsey was the worst on ground for the Crows with only 7 touches . Wish people wouldn’t come on here and talk crap when they haven’t even watched his games and just go by the fact he was pick 6 . Biggest flop of a draft pick ever if you ask me . Immediate delist if I was list manager as he shows nothing .
 
The Frampton Murray dilemma is interesting. Murray seems a better one on one defender, but is horrific with ball in hand and this has cost us at least a goal or two in Rd 1 and 2.

Frampton seems out of his depth against AFL Key Forwards, but I actually feel comfortable with the ball in his hands, and he has some actual offensive instinct. This makes a nice change from the last couple of years where we would switch play to your Kelly’s, Talias and Butts of the world.

In an ideal world there’s a huge opening there for McAsey to force his way in. It’s kind of alarming in his 3rd year we still would rather roll with Murray or Frampton.
 
The most obvious change in the history of changes is Tex replacing the absolute disaster that is Darcy Fogarty.

Sloane was supposedly somewhere remotely near getting up for tonight’s game, so you’d think he’d be right for next week. I think McHenry and his complete lack of skills or composure needs to make way there.

I think it’s clear that Milera and Thilthorpe are both going to be asked to earn their way back in through the SANFL. Milera didn’t do enough today. Thilthorpe was good, but the performances of Gollant and Himmelberg mean only one of Thilthorpe or Walker can return in Rd 4. It just has to be Tex for mine.

Cook is probably in danger of being dropped, but I hope we persist there. Rowe and Jones need to do more, but I just don’t think anyone at the lower level is taking their spots just yet. Milera replacing Jones could certainly happen in the next few weeks though.

Murphy probably isn’t hurt and just knew his limitations let’s be serious.

Frampton’s spot isn’t secure, but I don’t think he makes way after just one game. Is smarter with ball in hand than Murray.

Berry is very much pushing to be selected now after a best on ground performance in the early game.

McAdam is around the mark too, but you’d think only one of him and Gollant will ever play in the same side.


I think we’ll see…

Out: Fogarty, McHenry, Pedlar (sub)
In: Walker, Sloane
Sub: Berry
Emg: Thilthorpe, Soligo, Murray
 
Please rip into the whole team, who ever the majority of our supporters seem to think is shit and doesn’t deserve a spot has a cracker

Round 1- Rowe is crap how is he getting a game. Best game of his career
Round 3 - Himmelberg is garbage. Has the best game of his career

🤞Fogarty and McAsey 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
 
Out: Mchenry, Frampton, Jones, Fog
In: Berry, Murray/Mcasey, Davis, Tex

Time for Jones and Mchenry to have a spell and Frampton to be banished and never seen again.

Davis is shuffling the deck chairs a bit but I'm not sure what the status of Mcpherson/Hamill is.

Almost forgot Tex. Sorry Fog, you're out.

Borlase will be better than Murray down back imo. Frampton should be delisted when OOC.

Back in the boys? I don't think so

Out: Fogarty, Frampton, Rowe
In: Walker, McAsey, Berry

If Sloane is ready to go, Crouch can go out
McAsey?

You're not serious?

Borlase has been far better in the SANFL both last year and so far this year as well.

Parnell should be given a game in Jones spot. Parnell has excellent kicking disposal out of the backline and has good composure. We need better kicks in our backline.
