Kelly does. How about Kelly as defensive mid and Doedee in Kellys spot?

Out - McKay, Otten
McKay should never have come back in, we all know it.
Otten has been a feel good story in the first part of the season, and the Fremantle game was an adoration. But we can not have a forward line with Jenkins Walker and Otten, with Lynch as well. To big and slow and not enough forward pressure.
In - Wigg, Beech
Yes they both had a down game on the weekend, but you must reward them. Have had a massive year in the 2s. Both deserve a run at the top level, and to prove they deserve a contract for next season.

If it's their job then they've got a funny way of showing it.
I tend to agree mind you
Wow we get smashed physically and you want to bring those three in I dont think it really matters unless Richo watched the game and worked out hit us hard and we will crumble
Those three ain't going to help us in that respect

The worst thing that can happen is that we lose to them again and, with Thommo, have taken a backward step with an old strategy.
But maybe Thommo's farewell will be the next game against Geelong ?

He doesn't have any physicality about him and the other two will get smashed if our opposition coaches are studying us

Surely Thommo says goodbye post bye against the Hawks at AO ...

Knight has a lot of physicality about him and is in the best 3 tacklers at the club (Sloane and Greenwood the other two). Should be an automatic inclusion.

Otten should go back to cover lever. Even though he hasn't got a heap of touches in the sanfl, I think Riley Knight will make us alot more balanced with his pressure, and should allow Charlie to push up to the wing more.

we should be playing the rest of the season with a tagger!!, i don't care if its not needed against the lower sides or not. but we need to deploy brown/Kelly on oppositions best mid every week from now on and give them a clear job of what we need from them and KPI... we need to see how this affects our game plan.
I would have knight in for Mackay for sure, but its interesting you note those tacklers and you could include CC in that aswell. But why I find it interesting is I dont rate any of them like Danger and the likes that use their physicall size to intimidate us. Sloane is a gutsy player but has no real physicall presence in terms of intimadation either, he cant rag doll a player he isnt strong enough, Tex can Harto can but in the smaller playesr we have none.
Plyaerrs Like Lews,Hodge, Danger, Zeibel, Viney, SPP, Wines, Jack, Rockliff and a number of others we simply cont have any of that type of playe, we do but he is 45

Exactly right, Marty! Many of us were lamenting this last year, including me and WW. Greenwood has given us a Bont body type, but we need some of the Wines ilk.
Its the whole reason they were hoping they could get a little more out of thommo or he was an insurance policy , but everyone and their dog wanted him gone. Now I know why they wanted him gone but unfortunatly he will needed to be played as we actually have no one else, CEY was maybe one they were looking at but we know where he is.
Every other team is going to be looking at what physical pressure does to our team, how do we counter this physical pressure that is about to hit us, it wont matter as much against the weaker teams

If only we had a first round pick and a big bodied brute was still available when it's our turn to call out a name. You know, someone like SPP...
Lol
It's an interesting argument. The Dogs won the flag last year without any of these really big bodied mids, but I do agree that there's a pattern of us being beaten up by these types in games that really matter. The Dogs make up for their lack of size through pure grit. We don't have enough of that, but Knight is one who I would back in all day to keep hustling when he is fully fit.
Would SSP make the current side before Hampton, CEY, Greenwood, And we do have 1 more big bodied mid up the sleeve in Pohokle. Gallucci was a better option than SSP because we had young inexperienced big bodied Mids sitting in the SANFL waiting.

I am seriously considering if Marty actually likes anyone on our list.
Greenwood is the hardest tackler in the side but keep going
Mate love Tex, Lever, Talia, Brown , Smith, Laird, Crouch x 1, Sloane, Betts, Lynch, CC, Atkins, Jacobs, Greenwood, Knight,, JJ is ok
But I will be critical of them, I dont just blindly follow the club regardless of their cockups liek some

It might not work either but I'm sick of the "rinse and repeat" against Geelong and other sides that bully us in the MF. We are just not strong enough to compete with those sides. I hope to god that they are already in the ears of player managers to secure the best inside midfielder that we can for next year cause if we bomb out again we're screwed.
