was definitely a pyke era thing, was ropeable in 2018 and 2019 where he did minimal to bring on younger guys on list

Not so much a thing now

In fairness to Pyke all finals teams are about continuity. The issue with Pyke - as you highlighted - is he didn’t realise he had lost the squad and we were no longer a finals team in 18/19

Kicked 4 in the internal

At half rat power.

Smith was noticeably out of step with other players. Others were trying to retain composure with the ball, use it constructively.

He's still a throw it on the boot and hoof it long merchant.

Has looked a shadow of himself the last 12 months .....did some remarkably stupid things in the FREO match ....handballing into midfield space, was terrible for an experienced player

Then Butts .....I counted a min 5 goals kicked on him, probably more .....currently an easy-beat in the air & too reactive to leads, which negates the pace he supposedly has ?

I reckon if Worrell was fit Butts would have struggled to make side in round 1

Why is there such strong consensus that Pedlar is in the 22?

What have I missed?

(I really haven't been paying much attention this off/pre-season)

How do we measure continuity besides ingrained opinions? What would be considered a fair benchmark?

Having a quick look through last years numbers - for all teams - besides West Coast we had the least number of regular players (missed 4 games or less). Significantly less continuity than finals sides with only the Hawks , Giants, Bulldogs and North at a similar level.

Now it felt like we had a good run with injury so that would unlikely be the reason why we had more changes than other teams

So the stats say we had - excluding a Covid ravaged West Coast - the least continuity in terms of players for the whole of last year

Perhaps we can reduce the beating of that drum?

You need to look a little deeper, that's very simplistic analysis. Early part of the year we rolled through a few players, but we settled on our preferred 22 during the last half of the year. We made 1 unforced change in the last 5 games and that was dropping EH for the returning from injury TT.

Butts has plateaued ....if not regressed the last 12 months

Who is our anchor in the back half ....it seems Dawson is there to protect Butts

I reckon Dawson is more there for his ball movement out of there than protecting Butts , but there is an element to that too

Keane might be a chance of best 22 within 12 months

That maybe correct - If we are just talking the last 5 rounds I reckon by then they were focusing the second squad on the Sanfl tilt.

Rahilly was pretty glowing in an interview + we hope that he comes on

I agree though. Can see him being overlooked when push comes to shove

One of the K man's worst takes. Went fine in the only trial he's played, couldn't really progress that any further from his lounge chair in Adelaide. He's doing everything he needs to do.

i reckon we made very few unforced changes during the back half, outside of getting best 22 back in following injury. We definitely threw it around a fair bit more during the earlier part of the season.

Without checking you are probably correct. But we still clearly did more than most of the other teams.
Professional sport is about continuity, best players pushing through discomfort to keep playing and the same squad playing game after game.
Once a player establishes ability at the level they are pretty much a lock - in all sports

Quietly hoping we get 2017 Matty back

Not sure it’s possible, he was always slow but he had a really tight turning circle to avoid getting caught too often.

I think the groin injury took that agility away.

Anyone know how the ticketing system works for this week's preseason game against West Coast?
