Scream for Ratts and the MC to look at new players and then scream when he does it because we want the old favourites back.
Here's something that's been posted by many.
If we don't give players like O'Keefe at least a couple of games, how do we know if he's even in the ballpark before we write him off as an injury-prone failure?
Watson was dropped and people went berserk that he hadn't been treated fairly. Well he's back and we want Thornton in his stead.
Ellard's qualities and faults are well known but we want him back in the team in place of ....Curnow. Curnow is fast. No, he's slow. He's soft. No, he's good at creating stoppages.
We need harder at it mids. Give Lucas a go. Put Collins in the midfield. Rest Bell, it's good for his development.
I know this is a public forum and full of people with different ideas but honestly, if we take it too seriously there is a problem.

But you can't please all of the people all of the time.
Abraham Lincoln said that.
I'll let you be in my team if I can be in your'un
Bob Dylan said (almost) that.
I agree with what you are saying but if I was a player with good form in the VFL and was "named" in the team or as an emerg knowing full well I was not going to get a gig...I would be a bit miffed/insulted. My point was I have no clear vision of what the MC is trying to achieve at the moment. Wins v development v mix. Has Ratts been told just don't get beat too bad?
