Jamieson is a but of a unit.



We have so many B Graders in this team its difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel.



Is there any point making unforced changes...its not like those coming in are any better.



Its like replacing a constipated turf for a squirty one ..s**t is still s**t
The concerning thing is jamo is hardly our worst player

Out- JJ and brockman(concussion)
In- Dewar Witherden

JJ turnovers kill us he's a shadow of last year.
Dewar for jj.
Give hough a spell on the wing- witherden to play on best small

Barnett, Hall and Rawlinson aren't ready yet no point bringing them in when Sydney will pull our pants down regardless.

Let gaff bake in the wafl for at least a month. Darling gets a free pass because no one taking his spot

Noah long very quiet few weeks deserves the Sub vest
 
JJ to long term injury list so we can get 2 rookies instead of one in MSD. Should never play AFL again.

OUT: JJ, JWilliams, Brockman
IN: Dewar, Hall, Rawlinson

Play Waterman and Maric alternating between lead up wingman/HFF and the square with Long and Rawlinson at their feet. Dewar and Harley to start off HBFs to give us some drive and line breaking. And FFS F50 entries to come in at eyeline or lower.

Ryan and Sheed are walk up starts when fit, absolutely no one keeping them out of the side at the moment. Same with Burgiel, would have had more impact from his hospital bed than JJ or Chesser today.

Edit: have just seen the Waterman reports, if unavailable JWill gets another chance playing deep forward.

JJ has to come out after is disposal efforts, others are prime suspects but he was the biggest stand out.( plus some super dumb ill disciplined stuff)

Fact is old players gave a big effort but were generally beaten, the kids are quite short of imputative. Shuffling does little.
 
Swans are about to get back Cunningham & Adams to debut. Parker waiting to be cleared by Doctor this coming week also. No doubts we will face a fired up Swans.
 
In : Rawlinson, L.Edwards, Gaff, Trew as Sub
Out : Waterman, Brockman, Jones

There were 8 fwds and only 6 mids which didn't work at all, particularly having 4 taller fwds. Waterman out for the mid Edwards and Rawlinson who seems like an aggressive fwd which is desperately needed comes in for Brockman.

The next thing is Jones has to go out. Lucky for Jones he can play fwd because he should never play in defence again. Jones to play fwd in the WAFL to find some confidence. Hunt is the one who needs to play in defence and take over from Jones.

So Hunt's mid spot is open. There are a few options, Petch to mid and Dewar in or Witherden to defence and Duggan more midfield or Trew to start. I have gone for Gaff because of Chesser. I have said this before Chesser gets lost on the wing and without Edwards or Gaff he was stuck out there all game. The value of Gaff is that it allows Chesser to be able to rotate from the wing inside more so he can get more involved. Trew as sub because if it is a blowout they probably will want to sub out Reid and keep him fresh for Richmond and Trew can help out in the middle.
 
If we can keep it below a 100 point loss and not let the Swans score 200 we have done alright. As much as Gaff is finished I think that putting him in is probably better than a rookie for this game.

In: Gaff, Rawlinson, Hall

Out: Brockman (inj) Darling, Jones
 
Revised changes.
In: Rawlinson, Dewar
Out: Brockman, Waterman
Sub: Chesser

Dunno if Witho or Rothamwould be an upgrade on Jones. Would just be shuffling the deck chairs. So we don't have any decent options to replace him.

Reid or Yeo to replace him in defence, with Jones to play further up the ground? :shrug:

Only way to help our club is to boycott the home games. It's counter intuitive I know but your $$ doesn't help repair our club. Let Optus stand empty and the AFL might be forced to address this crisis significantly of its making. Spend your money and watch a stadium be built in Tasmania and a team with 10 WA early draftees.
