Second week in a row he has watched the ball sail over his head instead of go for it, then just watched it get picked up by an opposition player.

Losing contests and giving up easy ball like that tells me he's cooked.

Astbury too.

I know Bachar wants to play on.

I know he was our leading disposal winner last night

But....

I think the Club is facing some very tough calls on a few blokes and Bachar is one of them IMHO

In Bachar's case last night the stats don't tell the true story of his game last night

Bachar and Astbury should retire asap and start the process of moving on our senior players who are getting on in age.

Yes the transition should begin. Houli was awful last night.

Agree, he had a lot of it last night but his delivery is lacking, maybe he just had a bad night.

I agree the club is in a situation where very tough calls need to be made. I believe it is better to have a gradual transition and than losing a whole lot of players at once. Therefore action needs to start now. We do not want to be in a position where our only good players are the older players eg Collingwood or like Hawthorn who were too slow in regenerating its list.

“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Mansell back in the team.

Baker when our midfield returns.

Could  play Ralphsmith there give him the almost totally freewheeling role they give to Houli. Sydney Stack or Marlion Pickett for a harder edge Mansell only needs to be played as an outlet player like Houli. Reckon there are options.

Baker has become a pretty decent player but i cringe when he has to play deep defense.

I really like him as a forward with some time thru the middle.
