I'd like to see Pedlar come in for Rowe, but sounds like he might need another run in the SANFL, so Jimmy gets another week. I like what he brings to the side but he just isn't getting involved enough atm.

Frampton out for Thilthorpe
I think Lynch is carrying an injury, he looked really slow and proppy at times. I'd bring Worrel in for Lynch and restructure to suit

But you don’t upset dynamics whilst winning. Only make the necessary changes.
Agreed.

Winning teams do not drop players, they just don't. If we don't have an injury, we're not making a change. MAYBE Frampton, but he's clearly doing what we want.

If Sloane, Talia and Matt Crouch were all fit we'd be dropping 3 players so that's nonsense
 
Typical of BF some people have there players they dislike and run with them every week,

Let be honest, if we want to beat Freo we need to win the Midfield, we need Player to get the hands-on the Ball and get the ball outside to Seedsman, Scholl, Smith,
We need to bring players who can win the ball, consistently, with that in mind, our big ball-winners are Liard, Crouch and Sloane, two of them are out for a few weeks, against teams we should be playing to win.
I would seriously look at bringing in Hately, he was one of the few Players in the Crows SANFL who find/hunts the ball and he delivered it outside,
Pedlar still a couple of weeks away, he looked clean but also a bit lost at times, game time will fix that.
Jones needs to get his confidence back we need to see the 2019 Jones,
O'Conner too raw and need to build his game in the SANFL
Thilthorpe did not have a great game in the SANFL but a lot of that was not his fault, some of the top-ups and outside players needed to lift their eyes as he was open a lot but they kept kicking the ball to a contest. when the ball went near him he made a contest.
And Yes, Frampton needs to be replaced. But only for Thilthorpe, as Himmelberg has done nothing this year to warrant a place in the AFL.

So my change's would be
Hately for Berry, we need some ball winners in the midfield
Worrell should get a game and the only player I see who for are Hamil or Kelly
Thilthorpe fo Frampton. My only concern is the Lack of seeing him ruck in the SANFL.

Luke Beveridge often drops 3-4 players after they smash a team. Same with Hinkley, Hardwick.

You never reward a poor performance from a player. The result is meaningless when it comes to standards. Either perform or your out. Once a player knows there will be no compromise they understand the contract they have when they are picked. This ultimately leads to less players needing to be dropped.

Score Involvements
Fogarty - 5
Tom "The Connector" Lynch - 4

"Did absolutely nothing in general play"
4 of Fogs were scores he kicked himself. The point of "the connector" is that he creates goals for others.

Score Involvements where score is kicked by another player:
Fogarty - 1
Lynch - 4

So who had more influence on the game?

Fogarty with 5 score involvements, of which 4 were his own scores, kicking 3.1

Lynch with 4 total score involvements, of which 2 were his own scores, kicking 0.2. The "Connector" with a whopping 2 score involvements up the field

It's not even close.... unless you have nfi!
 
McHenry out and Pedlar in

That’s all the changes we need. I though Frampton competed well today
I want to see Pedlar in soon.... but don't think we can carry his reduced minutes with Berry, particularly with Sloane out.

Get his fitness levels up in the sanfl & he will debut soon enough.

And I'm not disputing he didn't do much up the ground. Because he didn't

His influence was inside 50 where he was our second best forward on the field. He played his role and deserves to be in the team next week.

Lynch? Well in my opinion he did not play his role
 
I think this is finally the week they’ll drop Frampton, Berg likely will come in, would prefer RT though.

If it was me I’d play Worrell for Kelly, but the Coaches seem to be infatuated with what Kelly brings, for the life of me I can’t see it.

They dropped him twice last year, so he is subject to performance standards.
