Maybe just say who should keep there spot the list would be shorter.
What? I want a player who has been relativley quiet and average bar 1 game to be dropped, and you believe i want over 50 percent of the list gone?

We need Reid down back, those two can't give us what Reid does down there.
He is probably tracking toward all Australian CHB and people are calling to move him forward? Doesn't make any sense to me
Howe and Marsh to the forward line, one can take a mark and the other has speed, both clearly lacking at the moment
 
In Marsh Aish and Williams
Out Frost Goodyear and Oxley

Phillips a possible suburb also
You've been generous to Greenwood, can't keep his feet in the contest, adds nothing to the midfield and clogs up forward thrusts
 
This game was lost by the mids overusing the pill.

Aside from Frost who is diabolical, can't blame the defence.

Either cloke or Cox. Both can't play in the same team. Neither can put enough pressure on. I'd keep Cox. At least he looks dangerous.

Cloke puerly and simply HAS to come in this week... we could have done with such a mature big bodied brut in our team today to inspire the kids...

Oh wait a minute...

lol, good one mate.

Mids tried to play dry weather football, too tall and immobile up front, imagine if we had a Neade, pity we don't recruit small quick skilful indigenous players, no offence to Varcoe but he's been very disappointing this year
 
Out: Frost, Oxley, Sinclair, Smith, Toovey
In: Brown, Marsh, Philips, Aish, Williams

Phillips to the wing/fwd Varcoe down back.

Our backline is just full of average players and they need to be replaced.

Mids barely got the ball our leading possesion getters at half time were Backmen.

Port set up to lose the hitout and basically tagged our mids to cause turnovers and pressure mistakes from the clearances.
Port got away with murder as they hold on to players while running with them so the can't "break away" from the stoppage. Scumps didn't pay a hold from this situation all game despite watching it happen all game.

Also think Bucks needs to cop a whack for not adjusting our game plan to suit the injuries this week, our zone looked a mess much like the 1st 8 games why after quarter time we weren't instructed to go to plan b ie more man on man with a 7th spare has me beat.
The amount of loose port players on the turn over was comical our players need a good hard look at themselves as they obviously weren't willing to run as hard.

I know we are a long way off our best 22 so hard to read too much into it BUT work rate should not be fluctuating as much as it has for our side this year.

Also we really lack those "dynamic" or "xfactor" game changing types in this team. We have Treloar who looked well off the boil and that about it.

Pendles is a great player but he lacks the ability like Buckley had to drag a team up to standard.

What rubbish you can't blame the defenders. Would have been good if any of them apart from Howe could get to within the same postcode as their opponents today.
 
Out : Oxley , Smith(rest), Frost
In : Phillips, Williams, Brown

Would like to see goodyear get another opportunity in a team that offers effort.
