We played one short today
No more Markov for me
We play more than one short mate, but you are 100% right, he was putrid today.
I'd still stick with him though.
Plenty to go before him imo.


Houli for mine but it's not going to happen.

Out:. Markov,  C Ellis, Castagna, Elton, Butler
In, Miles, Lennon, Lloyd, Bolton, Menadue

The 3 small forward set up worked well for a while but it's a shambles now.  Can't kick enough goals.

MY outs
Houli, BEllis, CEllis, Batch, Astbury

My ins
Stengle, Moore, Bolton, Lennon, Prestia

Moore and Lennon to both play forward
McIntosh, Rance and Grimes as our tall defenders (Astbury needs to learn that his stupidity is going to cost him his spot in the side)
Stengle to be upgraded and played and Bolton as well. After today's game we need more run and carry.

I've defended Houli in the past

But today cannot defend the indefensible

Pulled out of 2 contests at crucial times in the last qtr when the game was on the line

Lost me today

And I think we played more than one short today, reckon we 3-4 short today

Yep saw them, did you also see him run into Macca on the wing instead of going the block he just ran into his own player thankfully Macca just got it away but still further evidence of mr panic merchant. Great bloke but he gets the jitters in big game moments, will never be a player that stands up in finals, can confidently say that for half a dozen blokes in our side.

Elton, Ellis, markov and batch, gee we make it hard on ourselves

Houli lost me last time we lost to Freo, seems to save his worst moments for these games.

Bo & Mrakov calling for Hunt to come back in on another board....and they're actually serious....

We need to get Bolton into this side and Soldo/Nank can ruck and rest forward. So

Out: Elton and Batchelor (play Markov in his role)
In: Soldo and Bolton

Interesting people who relentlessly can Hampson
Hopefully saw the value of a good tap ruckman in the final hit out
Nankervis can't do it alone
Toby been a great pick up and has been fantastic
Tiges will better when they can play two ruckman and they alternate inside F50
Elton isn't the answer

I'd also like to see Moore in the side as he swings both ways....

Elton is a non competitor, his efforts (or lack thereof) are embarrassing.  We got zero reward for our inside 50's in the first half yesterday because of his non competitiveness.

Soldo in the ruck and Nank as CHF / switch ruck would have been a better option yesterday.  At least Nank would've given a contest and provide a chance to capitalize on our i50's

Yes thered be alot of value in Hampson probably losing the tap out to Sandilands and then spectating the same result from down on his haunches.
