Charlie Dean is an intercepting third tall defender. He can replace Howe. He cannot replace Frampton and play on a 200cm + seasoned forward. It was suicide playing he and Howe together against the Dogs and putting Frampton, who has no demonstrated ability as a forward, up forward to kick us a score.
Even more mind boggling that the change wasn’t made at half time when there was plenty of evidence that they’d cocked it up.

Usually he’s surrounded by more composed players like Pendlebury.

He cost us 3 or 4 goals from his direct turnovers, it was a terrible game

And he is an accurate set shot for goal, which Frampton is not.
I’d rather Frampton have played back. Dean isn’t a tall defender, he’s a medium. I’d rather Frampton locking down to free up Moore and Howe to intercept and help

No excuse, he is a senior player with 100 games experience.
Basically said as much myself in the prior thread. But apparent we “won the flag” last year is the excuse for all of it.
Coach is making some Buckley level choices that are starting to become notable.
The persisting with the same defender on a player who’s absolutely SHITTING on us for way too long is Buckley level coaching

He is what he is.
AJ seriously can't be selected at senior level until he shows effort and intent in a game...

We lost it in that first quarter. Shooter owes us in finals if we make it
Frampton forward was pointless, my Dean/Howe shortass nightmare came true
That said - Offer Darcy 1m a year
Ash has the Cox issue - doesn’t compete sometimes
Noble made too many skill errors
No one else deserves a slap as they aren’t old enough etc

You do what he did to Nick. Physically stop his run or a old school shepherd. Get physical. McCreery has the power and strength to do it.
Some of the times he was not even starting on Nick but reading where he was going to run and met him there then would buffet him past the contest.

Correct but he isn’t ready
And it's 200cm +++++++++. Darcy is 208cm, a massive 13cm taller than Dean!
Only if we're getting clearances

I’m yet to see any of this intercepting at all. I just don’t see it.
He is a 195cm key defender who plays like a sub 190cm defender.
He also goes to ground constantly like he has been shot in the leg at the slightest bit of body contact.
Yep. Saddest part
McCreery had 14 tackles and 8 disposals as a full time midfielder. He tries his guts out but we were a man down all game in the centre square. You can't carry players in the midfield that can't find the ball.
The only footy IQ he has is to chase and tackle. You can only play that type of player in the forward line. Hopefully Fly has learnt that and ends this experiment immediately.

Absolutely past the tipping point now. Last week we were there and just hung on for the draw. Then we lost 4 more but only got Howe back of any quality. The loss of Cox is huge (no pun intended). Losing Billy Frampton from defence destroys us.
Hopefully. We don’t always know in game what injuries happen. We’ll get Reef and the Hyphen back next week but that’s it I think. I expect Melbourne to smash us now. We’re too vulnerable.
They had quality out. No doubt. But so do we in greater numbers. And far too many depth players that aren’t AFL standard.
But fact they were down one on the bench, we should have been able to run out the game better than them. We seem cooked at the moment. We need the bye. We’ll likely lose next week but still should beat North because they’re not even VFL quality.
Post bye we start getting key people back.
Why did the caoches not see that moving Frampton back was a must. He wasn't killing it up forward, so put Howe forward. At times l don't understand our tatics.....

Yep and unfortunately it likely won't make as much diff to the result against Melbourne as it would've tonight.
