Ham, Francis & Parish were not the reason we lost. We must stop scape goating players who are young and played only a handful of matches.
The reason we lost: Myers, Clarke, Zaharakis, Stringer, Tippungwuti, Smith.
These senior players should be under the gun. We need to stop blaming young players for the lossā¦ which we have done every game this season.
Ambrose Tag Fyfe follow him everywhere even to the bench replace Myers big body in midfield And Francis replace Ambrose in defence
Hartley to shut down Taberner - and also kick out from defence. Hartley to Replace Hooker in defence
Long Tag #Hill left of field suggestion here. Replaces Ham give him a job to shut down Hill. He has been playing defence in the VFL. WIthout fantasia am a bit worried about Freoās speed and Ham was not effective last week, they would have been better off playing clarke vs swans given their contested nature of game.
Would ask Shiel to play a bit more outside this week
Ridley replace guelfi as 7th defender.
Mosquito x factor replace fantasia
Baguley replace Smith in forwardline
Daniher in for CLarke
Yeah me too. We lose this one and i wont be confident going into a game for the rest of the season. We win the next 3 and iāll be full tilt lid off again.
My concern is does Zaharkis or Guelfii have the speed for the job on Hill?
Zaka doesnt run that fast defesnively.
Think it might be a waste of McGrath to do it.
We have lost speed in the middle with fantasia out.
Maybe Ham is the best for the job, just not sure woosha would trust him after last week.
Long has been ordinary in the VFL. I wouldnt care if he barely touched it but shut Hill down though. and it means our better players Shiel/Zaka/mcGrath can be used offensively.
Us going after Fyfe and Hillā¦is basically what the opposition do to us every week going after Shiel and Merrett.
it was guelfi, zaka was no where near sidebottom, but hey why let that stop anyone saying play him on hill.
hill would have an absolute field day if zaka goes anywhere near him.
Iknow itās outside the box and people donāt like that, but maybe now is the time to try Hartley forward/pinch hit in the ruck.
I know people will just say move hooker, but thatās just a bandaid, hooker is not and should not be moved forward full time, so he shouldnāt be moved just for a couple of games.
find out if Hartley can play a different role to the one he is not going to get a gig with again unless severly hit with injuries, so see if he can be played anywhere else before probably delisting him at seasons end.
Yeh but Hooker can forward.
And McKernan is back next week anyway. so likely only a 1 game spell for Hartley if he is called upon.
They should have tried him forward in the VFL.
They have put Francis and Ridley there the past few weeks
