Give them a go .
They are on an AFL list for christs sake. How long do you want them on a list before playing them.
Aisake is early 20s
Anderson 2 years in the system
Austin was terrific last week
Whilst other teams like Collingwood dare I say back young kids far more we go the conservative approach.
Personally it shits me
Con so what if we can mathematically make the eight.
Its almost impossible
Give these guys a go
Its not as if Thornton, Russell and Fisher are starring
Thornton has been pathetic the last 2 weeks when he has the ball
Indecisive, chippy chippy kicks, lets Hansen lead him to ball by 30m. The week before was the same
Russell say no more
Anderson or Pfeifer to get a gig
Aisake is worth the risk.
Thats the key word risk
Fisher tries but has been found out.
Cant kick
hopeless below his knees
no pace
Then to top it off we select Houlihan a guy who doesnt chase ,pulls out of contests and just lopes along .
Cant afford one guy like that in your team
Definitely not two
I am not a total pessimist
We have improved
Bower in for Saddington is a no brainer even the MC could see.
The fact is Saddington shouldnt have played.
Last week proved Austin in Saddington out
Personally I am disappointed in the MC
and I have no interest in Sat nights game.
Well if you have no interest in the game stop filling the boards with negative posts about it.
No need for that stormin, its all healthy discussion.
One point I would make is that all the discussion so far has been about who should be in and who should be out.
I would much prefer us to try a few positional and game plan changes. You never know what may come off and if some do they will advantage us leading into next year.
How often do you really get to experiment in a real game situation.
Maybe:
Walker as a CHB on Brown, certainly big and athletic enough.
Thornton as a mobile CHF, it was his spot in U18's.
Play Fev up the ground so we have to look at other options. Even play a rotating 4 man forward line of Fev, Cloke/Kruezer, Houlihan, Waite/Thornton.
Play Waite midfield ala Richo.
Bower on Bradshaw. Hampson most of ruck.
Russell run with Black, take him to ball.
Browne permanant back pocket.
Ratts coach from boundary and let Riley run box.
You never know?
Your right, it wasn't needed, my bad.
In terms of positional discussion I do agree with some points. Browne permanantly in the BP. He does need to settle. With Bower back in I believe we now have a best back 6.
Jamo, Bower and Waite should be used as KP players. Bower has shown he can handle tough opponents like T.Cloke whilst Waite will hopefully be given the CHF of the opposition teams - IMO he should be played at CHB, he offers great run and can really straighten us up. He has played as loose man often but needs work on his 1 on 1 defensive skills. Those 3 are the cornerstones of our defence for years to come. Then we have Browne, Thornton and Grigg/Scotland to round out the defensive 6.
Sydney and Geelong have had great success by allowing their back 6 to settle and play together/ for one and another. This is what we should do!
Also you are spot on with playing Fev up the ground. Houla, Fish, betts, big K and Walker makes for a super dangerous forward line - with Fev playing CHF he will kick goals no matter what - 55, 60+ he can get sausages. Kreuzer and Fish can take a good grab, so can Tex - but if the ball spills from Fish and Kreuz there are houla, betts and tex to get the crumbs. That makes us very dangerous.
