          Jones i believe was on limited minutes last vfl game, then vfl had a bye. Doubtful he is ready to come in.

            What has McNeil done to earn a promotion?

            Would it be worthwhile giving Scott an opportunity given he has a little bit of exposed form… McNeil hasn’t played/ had a kick for 4-5 weeks.

              I think everyone has forgotten Scott is still on our list. Poor bloke hasn't been seen in the senior team since copping that horrible concussion in the first minute against Sydney at Marvel in June last year.

              We are deficient down back with small lockdown defenders and also up forward with consistent week-to-week bankable high half forwards. Scott is versatile enough to fill either hole, and like you said it's not as though others haven't been given countless opportunities to make those positions their own. Plus he's in excellent form at VFL level being best-on last start. Assuming Scott's contract is up at the end of this year, he more than anyone else deserves a run of a few games to re-establish his AFEL credentials. He's a smart team player who generally makes good decisions.

                    An issue I have with 3rd KPD vs medium defender type is that some fans treat it as if it's a great option vs a bad one. I think it's a case of bad vs marginally less bad.

                    Our better KPDs aren't very mobile and more suited to intercepting than 1:1.


                    Hynes and Dolan both a work in progress and we can't really afford to play both against the better teams if winning is a priority.


                    I'd use Dolan as a sub and give Poulter a full game trying to create a bit of fwd pressure/add some maturity/bigger body. Giving him a game/sub/then dropping him...I am not a fan of his cycle especially when there aren't clear options and a guy has been killing it in VFL. If we drop him, that means he is delisted. Fair enough if that's our call but yeah, why play him in first place really?
                    Actually we’re putting games into Sanders who has only recently started kicking the ball and JOD who only recently started playing football. Both are raw and talented. Both are playing above what would normally be expected of players at that stage of their development.

                    If we’re also playing Dolan and Hynes we have four beginners in a team with finals aspirations. JUH had to wait until round 17 for his first game and was soon dropped, why are Dolan and Hynes getting more favourable treatment? I haven’t seen justification.

                    Look back to Saturday, Dolan, Sanders, Hynes and Freijah (another beginner) had a total of 3 kicks between them in the first half. Garcia had 2. With Lobb and JOD being monstered is it a surprise that we lost. The miracle is that it was only by two goals.

                    At the selection table we wasted the talent of Bont and Naughton who single handedly nearly dragged us over the line (honourable mentions to others).

                    Are we contending or rebuilding? At the moment it looks like the latter.

                      Buku for Poulter, i still don't know what Poulter brings to the side, with Brissy at the Gabba they'll be as tough as or perhaps even tougher to beat than the Crows, we'll need to put our big boy pants on so Dolan and Hynes make way for Scott and Harmes and we NEED the extra key defender so Lobb can play his more natural intercepting game, so Jones but if he's not right to go then Buss, Logan Morris is dangerous and that other dweeb Hipwood has torched us a few times now.

                      In : Khamis, Scott, Harmes, Jones

                        Hynes, Dolan and Poulter offer nothing. Back to VFL.

                        harmes, buku and McNeil (at least he can hold a tackle) IN.


                        Are we wanting to play finals or not. Because the team that played Adelaide was nowhere near a grand final team, let alone a top 4 contender.

                        I was barraged before, but I’m sticking with it. We CANNOT have ALL of McNeil, Hynes, Poulter, Dolan, VDM playing in the same team. Either they get little to no possessions, or butcher it if they do.

                        Add the unreliability in disposal of bramble, coffield and JJ, it’s no wonder we find ourselves out of the 8.

                        Also, add the fact that others are inconsistent, (some games Freijah is hardly sighted in the first half). Our % is only due to belting the lower teams. That means nothing in the big picture.

                        Do we have the team to match the sides in the top 4 where the grand finalists will come from. ?
                        put simply…no.

                        Why are these above players in revolving doors, where other guys are getting nowhere near the opportunity. Buss/scott in particular.
                        I will never see #16 the same!!

                            Darcy gets no rhythm. He plays 10 minutes a quarter forward, heads to the bench, then comes on and plays a few minutes ruck, before spending a few more minutes forward to end the quarter. Give him a full game up forward with only 1 spell each half.

                            Keeps Andrews occupied at all times too. And once again allows Naughton a favourable match up against Lester or Gardiner.[/QUOTE]

                            This is spot on. Plus when he is gone the other 5 with naughton are not good forwards

                              I agree with this apart from Mcniel. Had his chances, someone elses turn. His tackle numbers arent as good as you made out. Have a look at the Gold Coast game. Noble slipped away from him too easy. Mcniels goals he has missed have really deflated the side. 3 in Geelong and Sydney come to mind

                                I agree with The Bulldogs bite who said "We should have been playing Busslinger. There's no reason not to. Our back half has sucked all year, we need to develop him/provide him with an AFL challenge, and most of all Lobb needs support. Buss ain't learning anymore at VFL level at this stage."

                                Busslinger should have been in weeks ago perhaps Sellwood too - Duryea's time has passed . JJ's has nearly passed and Williams is better on a wing.
