What did MZUNGU DO TO GET DROPED.![]()
Nothing but Ross seems to like bringing him in for a game and then dropping him the next week.

What did MZUNGU DO TO GET DROPED.![]()
I don't think it's the closest. Dawson and MJ will be in the 22 come Round 1 finals. I also think in the remaining 8 games we will see Crozier and Tabs in the team permanently..The team Ross put out today is the closest to what he believes can win every game. He's not going to deviate the way we want, and perhaps the way the club needs.

It would be interesting to see what the man who hated these threads would say if he was still around. Would he call it a pointless waste time?
If he did he'd be right, because as tempting as it is to list a bunch of changes, they're not going to happen. And if they did happen it'd be bad for any premiership ambitions because it would signal things are even worse than they seem.
Fact is, there is nothing waiting in the wings that can remedy this performance. There are a lot of talented players who have played fewer than 20 games, and most of those have played exactly zero. Even those that have debuted have played no more than a handful full games.
And this isn't the time to bring them in wholesale, as the expectation is too large. Every week there has been a player in the firsts who could have been dropped for bad form, and equally a player in the WAFL whose form demanded selection. Maybe, had Weller, Crozier, Duffy, Langdon, Blakely or whoever played a few (more) games here and there during the season, they'd be better prepared to either play now or in a few weeks. But they haven't, and therefore they most likely can't.

What have Isaac Heeney or Liam Duggan got that Weller or Blakely don't?

That's the depressing point,we simply do not have any personnel who are playing for Peel who can better our situation.
Jeez,I'd love to see one of youngsters brought in and given a crack.
Drop Zarke for Moller
moeller rookie list.
Why does taking out 3-4 players who have been utter pus mean we're less likely to beat Carlton?
Team balance
Griffen for Clarke.
Taberner for Mayne (tell him he needs a 5 goal haul to get another senior berth).
Crozier for Ballantyne.
Also we need to start blooding Weller or Blakely, because we'll probably need to switch Fyfe to CHF if we ever have to play Hawks in Finals.
so Duffield gets blamed because we have a shit forward line? ah ok
and yet he features in the top 5 for the game..

but is he really THE worst? on paper there's far worse than him, and most dwell in the forward lineI admire your commitment to Duff, but the bloke is abymisally out of form, down on confidence and a dead set liability. Went to ground went he didn't need to, got caught out zoning off too far and needs to go.
If we keep playing him we're going backwards. Get someone else in; weller, blakely, gray..take your pick

I agree with you, I don't think he was the worst. He played the same game he has played every week for years. He never has been and never will be a good body on body defender, he just always looks bad in defeats because he plays in defence. The defence is not the problem, not sure why anyone thinks it is.
