I said there were at least 8 I'd drop and here they are
1. Vickery - shameful performance, gave a 10 minute cameo and that was it. He needs 6 weeks minimum in the VFL to get the message = no more gifts
2. Grigg - 30 possessions that meant squat. Flaps his arms coralling opponents more than the umps do saying play on. He won't tackle, chase or attack a contest so just go
3. Newman- tough call. Yeah probably but was unsighted last night and as a senior player needed to stand up when it mattered. Didn't
4. Ellis - flashed in for part of the 3rd and that was about it
5. Petterd - was shocking. Not that I had any idea what his role was, don't think he did either
6. Chaplin - new member of the leadership group who showed no leadership what so ever.
7. Foley - he isn't a sub. Either play from the start and sub him OUT but not IN or don't play him. Just didn't look fit to me and he looked slow
8. Toss of the coin between Houli who seemed disinterested or Morris who continues to fall over. So I am suggesting for Steve rather than playing VFL he goes shopping for some new boots and he can pick up a pair for Rance while he is at it
INS:
A Edwards (who understands the concept of lead up forward), Arnot, Lloyd, King, big O (who despite his limitation will actually compete for the team), Grimes, Knights, Jackson (if fit)
What did we all make of houlis game?
---
Vickery was awful but I wouldntndrop he for Orren. I would like to see jack/Vickery/Griffiths trio persisted with until Maric is fit.
Grigg is average. I think the opposition like him having the ball...defensively inadequate .
With so many non KPP forwards coming to the club, surely Newman is not undroppable
Ellis should be retained purely as a high draft pick who we require to make it.
Normal Ricky game. Average.
Chaplin. Slow. Would kill for grimes. Behnd Astbury now IMO.
Rough to judge foley on a quarter.
Houli. Worrying. Morris. Worrying.
