Well it worked for Essendon for a fair while, right?
Why would we even consider playing Crouch in dead rubbers off the back of a two month shoulder injury that originally ruled him out for the season?

Personally I would prefer to keep Borlase in and put Murray on ice for the rest of the year.
Would really hope that list management is talking with Nicks, but I highly doubt that based on history.
Unfortunately I feel that any outside scrutiny on Murphy would cause us to circle the wagons and rally around him like never before.I know it can be a bit of a graveyard but I wouldn't mind seeing Dowling take on the high half-forward / pressure forward role currently occupied by Murphy. It's a bit of a double-edged sword type of move in that it allows us to flick Murphy who is self-evidently dead weight in the team, trial Dowling in a spot that I think he's got some natural attributes for (goal sense, great tank, willing tackler) and also frees up a rotation on the wing for another young player to use (hello Dan Curtin). I wouldn't necessarily have Dowling do this exclusively as I think Taylor also could fill the same spot but anything to get Murphy out (without it opening the door for McHenry in).
Also the cynic in me feels like with Dermie perhaps inadvertently putting a spotlight on Murphy's role and lack of contribution (even though it's been apparent for weeks/months/years) that this might be the week that Nicks magically sees the light and makes this long overdue change.
TBH I wouldn't mind a win to break that KP losing streak this week, just sick of us losing there and losing in general!What do you mean "dead rubbers". There is no such thing, there are 4 points on offer and we will do everything we can to win them. As Nix said, our plan is to finish the season strong and all our efforts and decisions will be geared at that. And as NVB says, the best way to develop for the future is to win this week.
cue laird captain for this week with Dawson still missing through concussion.If any of that stuff we talk about standards, and performance is real Laird has to be dropped. Just flat out taking the piss with his slow strolling defensive "efforts".
Make an example of him.
Save it for when we are contendingTBH I wouldn't mind a win to break that KP losing streak this week, just sick of us losing there and losing in general!
Ben KeaysNo Luke Pedlar available to lock him down. I suppose SuperNicks will turn to Rachele.
McHenry will be rushed back in for this roleNo Luke Pedlar available to lock him down. I suppose SuperNicks will turn to Rachele.

Nah theyāll just play in gumboots insteadWonder if theyād consider moving the game from GMHBA to Marvel stadium because of the surface?
But they can still reach 100 gamesSurprised that more people are not nominating to be dropped, heās one of our most inconsistent players.
Berry seems to make poor football decisions, whether thatās getting caught HTB or how he moves the ball, his disposal isnāt great either.
Need to weed out the players who struggle with consistency from game to game, and qtr to qtr.
