      Unfortunately 'Trumped' by the Tucker Carlson of player advocacy, Andrew Woods. What an over the top Victorian squealer he is.

        Clone him I say ????
        He averaged 2 intercept marks per game in just his second season and by 2019, he lost just 18.4% of one-on-ones, rated elite amongst general defenders.
        Agree , doesnt have to be negative if it means giving players like Chad and Gulden more responsibility in the mids . Offence starts with defence most of the time . If we have the options in the mids then its something to look into but those options are kids so not sure we can just yet

          Amartey and Blakey for
          Campbell (omitted) Franklin (suspended) and Roberts (omitted)

          Which also means Fox into the 22

          Emg: Stephens McLean Ronke Campbell

          So Amartey replaces Franklin
          Blakey for Campbell
          And Fox for Roberts pushing either Florent or McInerney to the wing (and probably to run-with Langdon)

            How is a pick 5, touted as a Captain, best in draft mid, on the outer ?

            He killed it as a sub, been on the outer since.

              Amazed that Campbell out again and replaced by Fox who in my opinion is a squad player, not the best 22. If I was Campbell, I would be wondering what the hell I need to do to be in the 22. That goal last game was a real gem, something that Fox couldn't do.

                Stephens, Campbell and ronke must be head scratching with Wicks

                A witches hat could do what Wicks does

                  Ronke not in is an opportunity lost, he is great on a big ground.

                    Happily eat my words later, but some games are lost at the team selection stage and this looks like one of them.

                      Some careers arent what they could have been thru the first 2yrs of mismanagement

                      Chances of Dyl becoming an elite mid are 5% due in some part to not enough games in and not enough midfield time, during his first 2 years

                      Campbell on the same path

                          I'm confused about the Campbell omission too. And in more bad news we have Stevic again and another crap umpire in Nick Foot.

                            So called "Team Balance".

                            Other clubs will now be sniffing around.

                                Not sure if I am unhappy about Campbell or not. I think we are playing mids in defensive role and there is a tipping balance at some stage. oriordan is preferred over Campbell as we need proper defensive players in this game and Blakey is doing a great job with regards to offense and so did Colin in the last game.
                                Campbell however needs to be played in a proper mid or wing role. It is clear within a year that the trajectory that everyone was hoping he would have Ala Callum Mills is not going to eventuate. Mcinerney needs to learn to be accountable in this game, he really gave too much latitude to Ralphsmith in the first two quarters. Hopefully he has learned coz if not, Ed Langdon is going to absolutely give him a thrashing.
