I would rather Hately take Mchenry's spot & berry move to murphy's role. Then add another mid in - O'connor it would seem
Why would McAdam come in?
He stunk it up for 4 weeks in the AFL, then went to the SANFL and was probably the worst player on the ground. I'd think he needs some form before he gets picked again.
I think it's time we get creative.
Dood to play forward.
Tex in the midfield.
Laird as a small forward.
Sholl in the ruck.
Let's mix it up!

And it has to be McAdam.
Why can't berry play forward? Hately? these guys have the skills to play that role for this week just as much as an underperforming mcadam. Perhaps he needs a wake up call.
Or, as Kane has suggested, we move Brown forward. Perhaps bring Jones in for a shot in defence.
Rowe, Berry and Brown as small forwards, with Sloane and Schoenberg rotating through half forward.
This is the type of game to give Ben Davis a run, if he’s fit enough after his layoff.
Schoenberg would be great in a small forward role, has shown he has an eye for the goals. Happy to run him and Berry forward for this week give them a break from the crash and bash would do them good.

Killing with a smile
Mad Dog Mackay to go forward?
Lulz aside, it would at least make an opening in our backline that we can use to give Worrell or McAsey a game.

Game will be played in our back half. I reckon we stack the side with defenders
B McAsey - Butts - Worrell
HB Doedee - Borlase - Murray
C McPherson - Kelly - Mackay
HF Hamill - Himmelberg - Brown
F Smith - Fogarty - Seedsman
R O'Brien - Sloane - Keays
I Jones - Schoenberg - Laird - Berry
Out: McHenry, Murphy, Rowe, Walker, Thilthorpe, Sholl
In: McAsey, Worrell, Borlase, Murray, McPherson, Jones

Brown won't be playing forward. There's creative and then there's fanciful.

Out:
Murphy, McHenry, Walker (rested), Mackay, McPherson (Sub)
In:
Mackay (Sub), O’Connor, Hately, Jones, Murray
Could also omit Kelly for worrell debut but would prefer it to come at home.
If Kennedy plays, move Himmelberg to play back on Allen, so we have three key backs. Doedee back to his normal role. Fog plays permanent forward. O’Connor and Hately rotating forward/midfield. Jones as back/mid rotation.
Forward line looks a little suspect but not too much you can do with injuries. Walker needs to a managed and McAdam can’t be brought back on form. Surely we look at this game as a write off anyway, no point pushing players who are carrying niggles like Tex and McPherson.

I wasn't really serious about it, more saying it's not as far fetched as people would think - but when you put it that way, I mean, at least Matty Wright can stick a tackle.....
No, I remember that game, and I'm pretty sure at least 90% of the 16km was the little circles he ran around in during his 3 possessions trying to find a clever kick around a corner
I don't think we will and I think it would be negligent if we did.
I'm adding Jones in to defence. Pushing Hamill to the wing and Seedsman to more of an onball role.
That will push Sloane and Berry to play more as forwards.

Brown forward? Now I've read it all!
I'd like to see this. We always talk about midfield potential and very rarely do players ever successfully move out of defence (Laird being the exception). Luke Brown is another I'd like to see around the ball. Apart from last week he has gone very stale down back.

Lol I keep seeing Mackay as an out.
His one run and carry from a couple of weeks ago is sure to get him 10 more games plus another contract.

He had 6 goals in the last 4 AFL games, hardly stunk it up did he?
2nd highest goalscorer and we dropped him after ONE game with zero goals.
Mark my words he'll come straight back in, because a fit McAdam is better than any experimental ideas floating around like Luke-fu(king-Brown playing up forward.
McAdam and Hately are absolute locks to come back in, the rest is up for debate.
Seriously? He had 3 of those in the last quarter against North (who had fully given up) after giving away 3 goals in the 3rd quarter. He got two goals gifted to him in the goal square after other people did the work. He had 8 disposals and 1 goal in the SANFL.
McAdam at his best is great. He has been so far below his best it isn't funny.

If we take one of our FOUR talls out, preferably Fog or Himmelberg, then there's plenty of room for McAdam, Hately and O'Connor into the team, whilst also pushing Berry forward.
My dream selection this week would be:
Out:
Murphy
McHenry
Mackay
McPherson
Fogarty/Himmelberg
In:
McAdam
Hately
Jones
Worrell
O'Connor
McPherson - Sub
Makes us smaller up forward, taller down back, and brings in a few new debutantes who have been playing a solid block of SANFL.

Long term I think that's how I would like it but would rather thilthorpe not have the 2nd defender at this point. I also like frampton cause he can crash a pack which we don't otherwise have. I saw your other post on Mcadam and statistically he had his best games prior to being dropped. I think it was the emotional reaction from the giants loss that made him a scape goat. The only thing is like you mentioned if he comes back in we probably can't play Frampton/ berg
