Obviously Lienert is being upgraded for a reason so he is now favourite to replace Jonas. Cannot see why we would upgrade a player at this late stage and not play him.

wow if true, we are taking a very young team in. So now who believes Ken is trying to save his job, ey?

On the eve of the finals a quick exit is looking the most likely outcome. Time to think outside the box and throw in a few young guns ready to make a name for themselves. Anyway, better late than never?
The Showdown was the straw that broke the camel's back. Can't stomach it, not in this state. Good luck to Jarrod. Have enjoyed watching him at the Maggies this year.
Ken has all but said Trengove's level atm is SANFL due to his mobility issues, it's just a pity he didn't realise this about a month ago when it was pretty obvious he was struggling as a forward.

Article also mentions that we are using our mid-season rookie upgrade (which I thought had been abolished) on Lienert, rather than upgrading in place of Frampton.

Lol another one?! At this rate Tex Wanganeen is going to debut in the Grand Final.

It won't happen, but imagine if this somehow works to perfection and we win the flag? How surreal would it be to hear names like Marshall, Bonner and Lienert being called up to receive their premiership medals.

Kenny is leaving the dogs behind and has gone to the casino and going to bet everything on black.
This wouldn't muck up his SNAFL finals eligibility would it?

We can only play 17 and 20 or 21 have qualified.
This is simply not the ken of 6 weeks ago. I am more certain than ever that post showdown ken was told try something diff with some young performers otherwise you are out ....

Who knows.
We are not that far away from being real challengers.
Doing the same thing and expecting different results will never work, so perhaps this late season shuffle may end up doing the trick. Hard to say what sort of trick but you never know. Here's hoping.
One thing is for sure though, young players play on instincts more than seasoned veterans do and this will make us more unpredictable. Which way unpredictable is to be seen.

I'm not sure about that.
If you have 38 on the list at the start of the season, as we did, then you can have 2 nominated rookies without a long term injury upgraded. We did that with Houston and Eddy. Houston has been given a contract and I'm pretty sure Eddy is still a nominated rookie. Lienert upgrade is because Frampton is on the LTI. We can still upgrade one rookie on the post game 11 rule that you can upgrade without an LTI.

Perhaps Kenny now knows his job is safe for next year so he doesn't have to be so conservative with his selections. This has been one of my criticism of him in that it appeared mid season that he was selecting for his future rather than the club's future.
Or like REH said above he finally cracked the shit's at his perennial underachievers. Better late than never i guess.
