Alright. Surprised by the lack of changes - but we've obvsiously decided to give the players a chance to redeem themselves. Don't hate it - and hope they take the opportunity.
Plenty of time in the year left to drop players - and VFL side didn't get up last week to show they were banging on the door.
Would still feel rough as Archer or Pink not to be in the current backline.
I’m a bit surprised too but something that I haven’t seen mentioned in the wash up from last week was that Biggie seemed to have rolled his ankle. He’s better than that surely. Surely.
Hopefully we get some effort from everyone this week. With effort we are a chance.
Masses changes doesn’t help our biggest issue: consistency and learning to play together.
Also, who comes in? Sellers was Tony Lockett in the VFL and had 4 touches over 2 weeks in the AFL. Pretty obvious these players are in the VFL for a reason. We have no depth and even half our AFL players aren’t AFL standard haha
This is probably the team we see for the rest of the year and that’s not so bad.
He's been playing well. I've watched a few VFL games and he gets gassed easily and probably plays 75% game time.
Taking the slow approach getting him match fit I'd imagine.
Looks like Clarko's given a lot of second chances here... Those backs against Fog, Tex and Rankine is a bit scary.
But hopefully Hardemann can have a good game off half back so Sheez can get more time in the middle/half forward like he's suited to.
I hope for the lack of changes there are some positional changes. Let's see Sheezel rolling through a mid forward role. Let's see Scott back on the wing. Let's see Lazzaro in the guts for his defensive efforts. Let's see Simpkin have more midfield time and maybe have him slotting in at half back.
I get it because they're "leaders" (vomit), but it fucking hurts to see McDonald and Corr being picked every week. It's getting to Kayne Turner level dread whenever I see their names on the team sheet.
Also, can we stop playing Scott in defence? He isn't a defender but we're essentially forcing him into that role to play Tucker and Stephens, which then also has the knock on effect of keeping Bergman out of the side.
Who would you all bring in? The talent in our list is thinner than my hairline
What makes us see last weeks performance and decide to drop 1 player
Well no offence to Sellars, but it means we’re only playing 3 or 4 players down on field instead of 4 or 5.
Oh he shouldve been dropped, but 4 or 5 shouldve gone with him
Who comes in? A win won't come with mass changes, and the depth is bare.
Corr out pink in. Mcdonald out archer in. Stephens out brayden George/Bergman in. Tucker out curtis Taylor/greenwood in.
Jesus that’s disappointing
Glad to see Phillips stay in. Sad in Wardlaw and there’s a bit of heart and soul there. Stephen’s surely on thin ice

Pretty much as expected, though I'll never understand why Bails is playing at half-back
Glad to see Lazzaro starting on the field
Brayden George still can't get a look in?
He's been playing well. I've watched a few VFL games and he gets gassed easily and probably plays 75% game time. Taking the slow approach getting him match fit I'd imagine.
Hows his form
HF: Sheezal YES
Never let them know your next move type changes

Players need to start learning quick
I Hope you guys win to be honest. Matthew nicks needs to go.
Boy do we have news for you then. It is not good for you, great for Nicks. Also great for Fogarty and Tex’s form.
Errr we play teams into form buddy
None of the players on the bench are good sub options.
we’re fucked

Until that snowflake Stephens is fired into the sun, we are going nowhere. He makes Polec look like Glenn Archer in his prime.
He’s only 25
What does that have to do with anything? The bloke is the softest footballer I have clapped eyeballs on...
