An early thought though - the changes probably don't matter, apart from bringing a fit Malceski/Rohan/Pyke in. If we show up with the sort of attitude and effort we showed today, it doesn't matter who plays, we will get belted.
Who cares who comes in next week, it will be a loss. Ive given up for the year now, we dont deserve to play finals....pathetic, soft, disinterested today. I was sitting there at the game wondering WTF was going on. We put in a showing like that to all but guarantee a finals berth against Richmond FFS!!! Very disappointing.
I'll go there....
OUT : Kennelly and Jetta for starters.
and....
LRT needs to go back to defence and stay there.
Spot on Koala as much as it hurts to say Kennelly has been our biggest passenger all year .. The less said about jetta the better . For all the people who bag white he's a better option forward than LRT ( weather permitting ) also who's our skills development coach ??
Changes won't help. Our team consists of young guys who aren't ready, old guys who can't run and no-one who can kick goals.
Meredith out probably and would love to see Pyke and Rohan back.
Apparently Rohan, Lamb, Pykie, Nipper & Spang all had good games. Time to make some hard decisions & drop some old blokes. Benny was ordinary today as was Jude, Goodsie, LRT, Shaw, Grunds, Kennelly, Marty was courageous but let a lot through, ROK hardly in it, Jack quiet & Bird even though he was good defensively was negligible in the end. A lot of blokes hardly got a touch & it wasn't the young blokes other than Jetts who hardly got near it.
Out; Jetts, Kennelly, Jude (injured I think for him to put in such a bad game), LRT & Shaw
They won't drop Tadhg. He is in ROK/Goodes/Bolton/McVeigh category. Koala Bear/Protected species.
So with that in mind, if Horse does not put Rohan in for Jetta he is kidding himself.
I agree that LRT's sojourn in the forward line needs to stop immediately. People hung it on TDL for his lack of defensive pressure, gee LRT was swatting flies and missing.
Parker needs to start again but probably won't - see above note on why Tadhg won't get dropped.
Jack/Jude/Bird quiet for two weeks now = losses. No drive out of the Midfield at all.
An unlike Sydney game today, but its our kicking that has let us down all year. Our disposal is worse than GC...bordering on PA!!!!
For me, TK has to go, he's lost the speed and nous for todays game. I know we have TDL knockers but at least he kicks straight, play him out of the square with an open fwd line.
The bulldog is a smarter fwd than most, and lets get lamb in if hes fit and see what he can do. If we dont improve our basic skills we are going down.
We also need our ressies to get back in the VFL so they play against good footballers not locals.
