Good players get dropped from good teams all the time. I love JSOS but all this agonising over a squad rotation is unbecoming. He'll probably be back next week; there's several players whose places are far from assured if they're not at their best in Adelaide.
I get what you're saying and agree but don't you think this is a positional/structural thing?
I think we all agree 2 rucks is the way to go
And then there is Charlie and Harry
The Qn as I see it is can we also have another tall in the forward half?
Look I may well be wrong, and in fact hope I am wrong.
Maybe they don't see Jack as a tall but more a mid size HFF like Martin, and they want to trial this weekend 3 talls and several smalls with no mid size HFF.
Or maybe it is about only being able to fit 4 talls in the forward half and they see Jack as a tall and as such this might not bode well for Jack in the future.
i suspect Voss is seeing what this looks like against the last bottom six game of the year.
the small forwards haven’t been as good as the first week. i never buy Murdoch papers but was reading the Hearld Sxum at the supermarket today and in the finals run article they made the point that our initial high scoring wins realised heavily on stoppage clearances. then we got worked out and shifted to transitional play scoring. and played more of a team defence to reduce oppositions scoring. this reduced our forward entries and the quality, with small forwards playing into the D50 as some have observed in this thread.
so i reckon Voss is thinking will three small forwards plus fisher and walsh help them to cover the opponents when they have intercepted or got it out of general play in the F50 to keep it in the F50. it comes out too easy against good teams too often.
also lots of people reckoned JSOS needed a rest, maybe Voss did too but figured he also teach SOS he isn’t an auto-pick so maybe he needs to do extra goal kicking practice. bad luck for SOS who played a role for the team and suffered for it. he’ll bounce back for sure.
