Trying to find a positive out of the shamozzle of yesterday. McAuliffe had 19 possies from just 65% gametime.
19 disposals (8k, 11h, 7c, 12u, 68.4% eff.)
7 marks (2 contested)
4 tackles
1 clearance
243m gained
2 intercepts
2 score involvements
65% gametime

Yup him and brown were the 2 standouts for me. Midfield got killed by that’s hardly on him. Don’t want to see him in the vfl again.
-
Thought he was our best TBBH
BTW, the HUN and Age have him with 5 tackles
-
Mid field of
Campbell - Taranto - Brown.
Nankervis - McAuliffe - Prestia No harm in trying it. Could bring in Trezise to play across hb and Trainor goes back to where he has played his best footy so far to third tall in defense.
McAuliffe tracking along nicely.

I’d rather a midfield of lawlor, smilie, Taranto , hotten

I think that's a lineup for next year. Claws line works well for 2025. Mind you brown has been playing well off half back.

3/4 of those dudes are all injured man haha.
Be surprised if we field that in 2026.

Hopper stays in the guts , can't play anywhere else- Taranto moves forward. :shh

And therein is one of the major problems of our list, our young midfielders aren’t ready to play midfield full time and even then there’s no guarantee they’re effective and our experienced midfielders just aren’t that good. Hopper and Taranto are the same as Mitchell and O’meara were for the hawks. Lots of people giving hopper his flowers this season and he has been an okay extractor at times but geez he has no poise with ball in hand, slams it on the boot nearly every time. Minimal damage

You should rotate about 8 through the midfield ( on ballers) , there’s plenty of opportunity for most of our mids to show enough through rotation.
A forward flank can also play the game like the running machine Kane Lambert who was critical to our game in the glory years , and wingman is also an extension of the midfield .

How about Reid, Lalor, Hopper and rotate with Meatie, Hotten and Butters in 2027

Good luck getting two more seasons out of Prestia. :shh

Use him more as a sub. Why can’t we extend his career like the Pies are doing with Jamie Elliot who looked cooked 2 years ago.

I can see another year if he's subbed off from time to time

Yep thats right for this year. We probably wont see Smillie Hotten or Lalor again this year.If we do it wont be many games at all id say.Same may go for Dow.
Mids rotating from the bench Lefau Hopper play Sonsie there Even give Rioli a go thru there along with Green. geez id like em to try Lefau as a mid.
Its time to change things up and try things.
I have all year said this is our list of mids excluding wingers or high hff. there are few and nowhere near enough there are some who should not be there.
Kids
Lalor, Hotton, Smillie, McAuliffe. Thats the future we need more.
Mid tier
Ross, Dow, Sonsie. Maybe all need to go. Make your own minds up its a worry. All are fairly average players so far.We definately need to find a few good ones to add to this group.
Vets
Prestia, Hopper, Taranto. Hopper and Taranto are more short term than mid term players maybe 3 or 4 seasons and Prestia could be gone at seasons end.
We need upgrades badly on the wings we have so why not try Campbell and Brown there.
We have a few mature mids but need to plug the gap between the kids and vets with some good players
