Quite the opposite actually. Picking an experienced line up improves our chances of winning in comparison to picking guys like Jaksch, DVR, Gowers etc.
I think we should be integrating a few of those guys tho.


Replace White & Everitt with Jaksch & Graham and you have a better balance. 1 KP and 1 Mid.
What do you have with the selected 2 again? Sorry but an unbalanced team is tanking!

White's played in 3 of our wins this year. Everitt's played in 4. They're not getting picked to lose us games.

My goodness how does a forward line consisting of those below looked balanced.

Walker Phillips Silvagni
Everitt Casboult White

Our backline is set, so you wouldn't want to move any of these guys into it, our midfield....well none can run through there and impact like a midfielder and please don't try and tell me they can and do, so it's forward line and rotations.......hmmmm

Armfield for Byrne.

Pretty uninspiring final teams to be honest




Don't think Jesaulenko, Doull, Nicholls, Kouta, Judd, Johnston and Williams were available

What about Tim Rienets, Dominic Fotia and Andrew Cavedon?

Kicked a nice running goal in our upset win against West Coast in 91'...

That's it... a surprise win for us today!

I think the result tomorrow is pretty much a given .....Crows should win easily. The only contest to keep an eye on is whether or not the Blues as a team can kick more goals than Eddie Betts. As Antony Green would say "that's too close to call at the moment". :smile:

Terrible non selections has me concerned
Sumner
Everitt
Should be dropped
Clearly we lack pace play Buckley
Sumner has done @#$%&! all lately
We have struggled to get enough of the ball lately yet won't pick a guy who gets 30 + possessions every week in the twos
Graham uses the ball very well and is a decent decision maker
I'm a fan of him and biased but I don't blame him looking eldewhere as he will make a good mid somewhere else
Has been treated like shit

Assuming Byrne is on the injury list why not promote Gowers and see what he can bring to the senior table
White tries and is versatile but makes way to many mistakes

I went last week and Everitt doesn't deserve a game on effort alone
Jaksch offered more
This guy is fitter stronger and offers more than Everitt
One thing that seems to continue to happen is conservative selection processes

And in reality my recommendations aren't conservative
Graham, Jatsch, Buckley, Gowers deserve games on form
Everitt, Sumner, White need to be dropped on form

Go flower figure

And one last thing
In time Phillips will be the preference on sustained form over Kreuzer based on what I saw first hand Saturday night
Will be interesting what the MC s actions will be as far as this little conundrum is concerned



Couldn't disagree more about Sumner. Busted his gut defensively against Collingwood. Its not his fault the delivery into the forward line was crap.
You say we are too slow and then you want to play Graham. I already have him delisted next year. You say Jaksch is fitter than Everitt. I am not sure how you measure that, but the fact he can't displace Everitt from the side would tell you he's not.

Graham gets a raw deal fact he Is not quick but he deserves a game on his efforts
Sumner doesn't get enough of it
Jaksch deserves a game over Everitt based on performance and the similar positions they play
Buckley increases pace against a quick team
Gowers is worth a look at senior level


It's obvious Bolts hasn't got a clue.

I mean you've identified 6 errors in one weeks selections, how many mistakes is he making that we don't know about?

Pity, I had such high hopes for him.

SAKC!!

Thought the bookies missed an obvious "Head to Head" offer on that question. Sadly, i am not sure which way I'd place my money ...

This morning I had to call my brother to organise the return of my membership ticket. It so happens he wasn't going to the game today...

It was fortunate i didn't leave home for the game today.
