Davey can kick better than Colyer, and he's a much better pressure player. He's just been down on confidence and fumbling a lot. Not really the same deficiencies at all.

Like to see Williams play without Gumbleton, give him a bit more room.
Dropping Welsh against Pies is madness. Need to to lock down (try) one of their mids.
Winders and Dempsey have to play at the G. There is no one else better to come in.

Interesting, we might have to bring in an extra key defender if you will have Gumbleton, Ryder and Hurley all up forward. Maxwell is more suited to flankers rather than taller opponents.
Injury allowing, Gumbleton will be playing until at least mid-season, regardless of form. It's the right thing to do for the future of our team and club. Dropping him at this point is madness!
I watched it twice.
Reimers is a highly skilled fat head who's 'toughness' is one of the great myths in this board.
If he learns the art of working hard, he may end up a bloody good footballer.
Riemers may not have dominated any games yet but at least he has some arrogance and confidence in his own ability. That has been lacking in our team for a while. Players like Didak have that arrogance and it produces results.
Saying that, I don't want to see him giving away free kicks and getting sucked in by opposition teams who see him as a hot head but that will come with time and experience.

Knights said tonight that both Monfries and Spike are on the good side of 50-50, surely Spike has to play just to get some mongrel back in the side.

OUTS - Dyson, Slattery, Hocking, Welsh, Williams
INS - McVeigh, Stanton, Monfries, Howlett and Neagle/Laycock
Williams is a receiver and not a team player, celebrates his own goals instead of thanking those that gave it to him. If the weather is good Neagle/Laycock to play full forward with Gumby/Hurley to be lead up forwards.
McVeigh to play back pocket role with Houli.
Hocking/Slattery just arent up to it, play too much stop start, Dyson to stay in side if Zaka not fit.
I dont mind if we lose, just play with heart and passion. By Round 10 it we havent won 4 games Knights needs to rethink his already shaky gameplan and stop handballing..

People who are suggesting Dyson be dropped should be banned from this board. Really... he's been one of the better players in both those games and there are many to go before he does. Not to mention there is no one to come in to replace his role.
You don't just drop a guy because you don't like them.
Hell, I think Houli should keep his spot this week...

From looking at what knights said at training yesterday the following players will not being going out of the team...
winderlich, zaharakis, melknshaw, colyer...
plus despite what many supporters think, slattery isn't going anywhere, he is one of the first picked every week (not a quote from knights, but its a fact)
and that 'davey and prismall' aren't too far away, 'i just don't know when there next AFL game will be' so count them both out of contention, unless it is all smoke and mirrors
and that stanton, monfries (altho coming off a quad injury), mcveigh, more or less, will all play
howlett is injured
so with that, you would have to think that the players in danger of loosing their spots would come down to:
houli, williams (suspect ankle), dyson, welsh, lonergan.
having said all that, todays match day training session could sway a few decisions either way, jump onto the essendonfc.com.au website at 4.30pm so get a live link to the naming of the team.
personally, if houli, lonergan, myers and gumbleton stay in the side and davey, prismall and neagle sit out... again, it'll be another loss for the dons this sunday
