What ever changes that we make we need to be mindful of the Pies forward structure

Our defence needs to be able to 2 KPF surrounded by quick small and mid-sized forwards, we can't go in with a slow defence or we will get exposed

He does that against good teams.......

Laird has to play on him.

Out: Wright, Jaensch(inj), Shaw, Lynch (inj), Reilly

In: Douglas, Ottens, Rutten, Walker, Ellis - Yolmen

Just a note about Reilly. Is ranked equal 6th for total Frees Against (10th highest overall), in the competition in 2014. But it's worse than that, most of the guys ahead of him are ruckmen. He is averaging 1.8 FA per game, matching Scott Selwood, but Scooter Selwood also gains a free (1.3FF) a game. Radar has only been awarded two frees in 2014. The only non-ruckman worse than him is Matt Thomas (Rich). I rest my case.

IMO some of our players have proven that they just can't be coached

Time to start selecting smart coachable footballers
was just going to post that you HAVE TO have smart natural forwards

You have to be able to read the game & outsmart defenses with plus ones

Tex is a natural
Otten IMO is natural
Lynch is smart
Betts is smart

Our talls in Jenkins & JPod are not .....they're athletes

Agree with this.
Otten seems to always be able to get free, and thats something we havent found in some games this year.
 
We must get Cameron in asap. He'll have the forward defensive attributes of Pets but has way more strings and a bigger upside.

Can we drop Reilly for 3 or 4 games for CEY?

Tex in. Geez I'd probably even give him a quarter and a half in the SANFL next week too.

I'm not so concerned about JJ, he is the least of our concern

IMO smart footballers is not just contained to our forwards the need goes across every zone

Jenkins has great goal sense. Too many snap around the corner goals in his highlight reel for it to be a fluke. Athletes, competitive and goal sense. He isn't "just a basketballer:.

Out: Lynch Jaensch Grigg Petrenko Reilly

In: Tex Douglas Lyons Cameron Rutten (Shaw to take Reilly's spot).
 
Watching Petrenko live closely was pretty cringeworthy. He just can't get into the right positions. Poor in a marking contest and also has zero nous when it comes to reading the ball off a pack. His tackling is overrated. Vader has it spot on. He looks like he is always putting pressure on in the forward 50 but it's only because he is rarely first to the ball. You have to assume that the only reason he continually gets games is because they don't have a like for like replacement.

Reading the reports on Cameron, people have said he isn't ready yet. Watching him today, he is a very dangerous and smart forward with lightening pace and and awesome tackling technique. He ticks all the boxes ahead of Petrenko except fitness levels (I can only assume this even though Pets fitness level is also questionable). If you're going to 'wield the axe' then I'd say start with this move.
