is this next week ?

ah ok then - thought we had a week off which would have been handy

Out:

Browne - looked overawed at times tonight. Good kid, does a lot of good things, but gets lost. Need to bring in players who don't fear making mistakes.

Joseph - for a defensive player, you have become utterly woeful in one-on-one defending, particularly in the back line; time for a spell after a long-standing decline in your play

Hadley - congratulations on cracking the 20 disposal barrier for the first time this season, with 7 tackles, 11 contested possessions and 6 clearances to boot, but nothing in your game stood out from several other midfield players, and worse still Judd was caught in the calamity when he was trying to make a run for the receive. You barely got free at all once the stoppage was over, and it was a joke to watch.

In:

Grigg/McLean - Don't mind which but we need someone who can take the heat off Judd and set up a channel for him to win clearances in a less taxing fashion. Grigg has some defensive issues, but can at least provide outside the play and seems to have worked on his disposal. McLean has it all, except that his decision making needs to lift at senior level and his body isn't showing him much love. People who question is clearance ability and disposal are not watching him at all; it's important to distinguish between disposal and ability in possession.

Bower - goes without saying, but with Joseph out he'll be helping Russell & Walker man the medium players/young talls.

Yarran - this kid needs to come back in for the forward line structure to open up again given Setanta clearly feeling the pinch from a very tough 11 weeks. All those clever leads Eddie made in the first 6 or 7 rounds are now completely useless because Yarran hasn't been there to open up the space with his high leads and excellent disposal. We need Houla on one flank, and Yarran on the other.

Others on the chopping block:

Setanta - may need a week off
Kreuzer - may need a week off

Jacobs - as much as I enjoy the dynamic that he and Kreuzer offer, that ceases to be outside the stoppage, save for rare kicks that give him the opportunity to show the value of a ruckman with clean hands. We need to have a look at Hammer, who can do plenty in the ruck and absolutely terrorise in general play.

Carrazzo - lack urgency all night and it cost us repeatedly both defensive and offensively. Needs a kick up the backside considering that he is a senior player.

Others on the cusp:

Lucas - offers pace, poise, skill, aerial ability & defensive ability. Will need him to man smaller types and provide a different avenue out of defence sooner rather than later.

Hampson - adds another dimension whether he can mark the ball or not; adds three dimensions if he can.

Henderson - works too hard not to be in senior calculations. Star in the making who needs to be more confident with his set shot ability, which is outstanding in terms of technique and touch; just lets his nerves get in the way.

I did have Carrots out for Robinson but must take into consideration that Carrots had a great game the last time he played the Dockers.
