Selecting McAsey for 10 games during a wooden spoon year to break his confidence is up there with rhe insistence that Milera will play AFL ready or not.

I know - it’s actually unbelievable how poorly we manage some and others we treat with the lucrative “golden pass”.

I would love to know (clearly I have never been part of a team at this level) who is on the selection panel, what the criteria is - and why some players are picked relentlessly- and why others never get another go.

Hoping some of the brains trust on this board could throw some light?

Genuine question

Not sure I want to see Frampton in to be honest, that’s just like shuffling deck chairs.

out: butts (inj) crouch, Murphy , Milera, Brown ,Rowe/McHenry (flip a coin)
in: worrell, mcasey, cook, Jones, newchurch ,rachelLe
sub Davis

we are rebuilding, let’s give the youth a chance. We all know what berg, frampton can do, let’s see these other guys in afl action.

also I’d like to see an actual dangerous forward line, hence Murphy, Rowe /McHenry out

the only thing more AFC than this is for Rachele to come back via the 2's
I’d actually give him another week with no footy which you may laugh at ( it would depend on how gassed he is because he was looking really gassed and not sure 7 days would fix it )

Ins Tex Schoenberg Newchurch McAsey

Outs Butts M Crouch Milera Murphy

If Rachele does play I’d drop Rowe also
 
McAsey is playing as a forward at SANFL level. There is literally a 0% chance he gets selected at AFL level as a defender. Not 1%. 0.
Ruck Thilthorpe more, he is going to be more a Ruckman than Key Forward.

Have RoB drop back more.

McAsey plays up forward.


I would rather RoB as a Ruck/KPD than play Frampton for Butts.

it's a horrible position to be in. he probably knows he's not ready, especially in that moment, but wants to perform. it was cruel for him to be selected round 1 and it would be cruel to select him next week. 2 years out of footy is no joke.
He's been pushing saying he's ready for the last month at least. He wasn't put in any sort of situation he didn't ask to be in
 
I'd rather select Butts and play him on the bench all game effectively a man down than return to failed defender Billy Frampton again.

Surely it's time for Worrell against the worst team in the AFL
 
I'd have it currently as something like

OUT: Crouch, Butts (assuming he doesn't pass protocols), Murphy
IN: Jones, Worrell, Gollant

Berry back to the mids, Worrell to Waterman, Doods on Darling and Murray on Kennedy. Gollant is responsible for McGovern to make sure he doesn't dictate play from across half back.
 
Butts out means it is one of Frampton, Worrell or Borlase.
McHenry - has to go out, adding nothing and is hopeless up forward
Crouch - you would think he has to go out for Schoey
Rowe or Murphy, not both as both is adding nothing right now
Milera - let him get up to speed?

Walker back for McHenry
Rachelle for one if Rowe or Murphy or possibly both out and Rachelle and Newchurch in
Schoey for Crouch
Frampton/Worrell for Butts

Out
Milera - Should never have been in.
Crouch - See above. Finished as a footballer.
1 of Mchenry or Rowe - Both were poor. Mchenry is not a small forward and is too light to play anywhere else. Rowe is a downhill skier.

In -
Jones - Showed enough in 1 quarter to give him another go. Worst case he is a great sub.
Rachele - Up forward and Berry goes back to the bloody middle.
Newchurch - Actually kicks goals and our AFL small forwards don't kick goals.

Not sure what to do about Butts. Frampton is not a key defender by any stretch but his height might give him a shot.

How is Borlase tracking? Has Mcasey been located yet since we drafted him? Can we reinvent Berg as a defender? Will they ever forgive Worrells drink driving indiscretion?

The fact that Frampton gets mentioned as the least worst option is a massive drafting and developmemt failure.

Worrell is not a KPD. While WC may have performed as the worst team so far, that does not entitle us to be favourites at present. They still have very fine old players who would probably like to beat up on us, as they normally do. I fear the worst for this match, especially with our likely outs.

The only KPD we have available that's not already playing is Borlase

that doesnt mean he magically ends up in the team. all players believe they're ready to play, it's up to the coaches and selection panel to agree/disagree

Maybe Kangas will prove that they are not the worst team in the AFL....

I'd almost be tempted to play Borlase too.
 
Kicked 3 last night, and honestly, we just need someone with skill around goal and x-factor so get him in against the worst side in the league I say.

Need to find out what we have in Newchurch, Borlase, Parnell and Worrell at some stage. 2 of them should play next week. We all know that won’t happen though.
Pretty good sign you didn't watch Newchurch play.
