[cleanhands]

Who did I miss?

Taylor, Curtin

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Taylor, Curtin

If only...

Nix doesn't even know who they are!

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Taylor, Curtin

Ps. I agree with you, but Nix doesn't.

How about playing a side like this for the rest of the year...

B: Michaelanny, Butts, Hinge
HB: Laird, Murray, Curtin
C: Nankervis, Soligo, Dawson
HF: Pedlar, Fogarty, Keays
F: Cook, Thilthorpe, Walker
R: Himmelberg, Rachele, Rankine
I: Ryan, Taylor, Edwards, Dowling
Sub: Hamill

It doesn’t take much to improve on what we are currently putting out

 

[Redline]

Each week?

Currently 4 imo.
Worrell
Thilthorpe
Crouch
Milera

That's what he said, clearly been told that by the club. It's not even close to being right.

Each week?

Worrell
Thilthorpe
Crouch
Milera

You can guarantee they are counting Smith in the 7.

 

[GreyCrow]

It's like Nicks wants to be fired.

No doubt... but he has been playing AFL most weeks, so he can't be counted for most of the year.

So if we had all players available & were to pick a full strength side?

B: Michaelanny, Butts, Murray
HB: Laird, Worrell*, Hinge
C: Sholl, Dawson, Nankervis
HF: Pedlar*, Walker, Rachele
F: Cook, Fogarty, Thilthorpe*
R: O’Brien, Soligo, Rankine
I: Milera*, Crouch*, Jones, Keays
Sub/Emergency: Hamill, Berry, Dowling, Murphy, Himmelberg

3 out injured & 2 returning from injury.

 

[40porpoise]

If himmelberg gets traded at the end of the year this week's selection will be even more of a disgrace. Just no long term thinking at all

 

[ABAB]

Each week?

Currently 4 imo.
Worrell
Thilthorpe
Crouch
Milera

Murray and probably an in form Pedlar.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Murray and probably an in form Pedlar.

Murray is already in our side... unless you think his younger brother is already best 23.

Give you Pedlar coming back from injury.

He only recently returned though so was missing for all of this season which is what Blight meant by most weeks?

Milera - missing all year
Thilthorpe - has been missing all year.
Murray - missed 14/15 games
Pedlar - missed 11/15 games
Worrell - missed 6/15 games
Rankine - missed 4/15 games
Crouch - missed 4/15 games
Walker - missed 4/15 games
Butts - missed 4/15 games

I can't see how we average 6-7 of our best players missing. More like around 5.

 

[King Elvis]

Just doing the same dumb shit, over and over again, regardless of the result.

Joke of a club, disgraceful footy ops department, moron for a coach.

[King Elvis]

I like that we're continuing to play Himmelberg whenever available despite the fact that he is leaving end of season, and we tried to get rid of him as not good enough for us last season

The lack of any clear planning around development and selecting is incomprehensible.

Surely someone is challenging this shit

 

[1970crow]

You can guarantee they are counting Smith in the 7.

They'd also be counting both TT and Berg. And Pedlar who's been playing 2s before and after injury.

 

[Scorpus]

Each week?

Currently 4 imo.
Worrell
Thilthorpe
Crouch
Milera

Thilthorpe is available.

There's only 3 players out

 

[Ciao Giacomo]

My 12 month campaign to get Zac a debut is not going well.

If Smurph is the sub then the other changes are reasonable.

1) Rob has been poor but sadly Strachanie has been even worse.

2) The Berg is a better option than Burgess, Borlase and Gollant as a Forward/Ruck but he is just keeping the seat warm for Thilthorpe.

3) Tex will be a big improvement providing he is 100% fit. Harry has been playing well in the Twos but has struggled in the Ones.

I am pleased we are going smaller on a wet, slippery night.

 

[FR0GGY]

Probably counting Rob and Murphy (just doesn’t realize they’ve been playing.

Nicks isn’t smart enough to intentionally orchestrate that

 

[Gtowncrow]

Wow just wow - so take out the West Coast witches hats game and we haven’t won a game since the Showdown and yet the inspiring changes of Walker, Robot Rob and Cement hands….who also played in a number of those losses.

So since the showdown we have seen Dowling….

Let’s not mix up the 22 let’s stay strong and basically select the same squad over and over…FFS

This is a very sobering post.
Disgraceful effort by the club... disgraceful.

 

[Gtowncrow]

We have two players playing from our last two drafts, and we're bottom four certainties. What the absolute **** is happening?

Excellent post.
Should be tomorrow's headline in all the AFL press.

Adelaide oval is going to be an ugly scene for the club if we're beaten again this week.

The people should put the sword through Nicks this weekend.
