WEST v North

Time to change things this week.

Carter to lead the ruck. Will be a good match up on Craig.
Forward line of Hardy, Webby and Keough. Add Beachy and Fisher.
Birss into the middle.
Backline . Who bloody cares. Put Taite on the half bachline and give it to him.
Drop anyone that kicks it 15m sideways.
Time to win a hard one.      

Hard to argue with you 2nd Team
Bricknell may be a chane too ???

I think Webby has to ruck. It's a big ask for Tom Carter to lead the ruck, but he is very promising for the future.

Kurt Thompson was BOG last week and I certainly wouldn't omit him. I agree with you about Bricknell and Birss, Lachlan.

It's a must win game, but I'm very confident we can win this one well.

Games against Norwood are very different, as they play a very defensive set up.

It will be different against North and Kurt's run will be an asset. That's also why I hope Bricknell plays, as he breaks lines.

Webb, Nelson and Hardy had a combined total of 6 kicks, 8 handballs and 5 marks against Norwood - poor stats for one player, let alone three, so it'll be interesting to see what we do with rucks and talls this week.

Maybe if we kicked it to our forwards they would get more stats.
I remember watching Webby get 21 kicks and 18 marks playing CHB in the under 19s. Getting a kick in Westies forward line is harder than getting kicks in the backline. Harts and Keough are proof of that.   

They're not all permanent forwards.

My side

F: Fielke, Still, Hardy
HF: Beech, Hopton, Stevens
C: Schiller Macreadie, Ezard
HB: Hill, Hartlett, Green
B: Milne, Keough, Caire
R: Webb, Tuck, Silverlock
Int: Birss, Dijksman, Fisher.

In: Still, Hopton, Ezard, Birss
Out: Thompson (inj), Nelson, Jennings, Newell (all omit)

Hopton to come in to play lead up CHF. Done that pretty well in the 2s this season. Chop out for 5-10 mins in the ruck when Webby needs a rest.

Assuming Still and Ezard are fit, otherwise Gallard in for Still and Newell for Ezard.

Newell needs to go back to the reserves and find the footy. He has had below 10 possessions a game a few times now and that's not good enough for someone who spends a lot of his time in the midfield.

Hartlett to go to Mitchell, Keough to Obst. Caire to Ryswyk.

What would you do?

Omit Nelson.

I must learn the Injury List is not credible.

This is a better looking team. Sorry for Thompson but these are some great INs.

I'm backing us this week but in the back of my mind I remember feeling exactly the same when driving to Unley a few weeks back!!

I cant help but think....will MM be able to get the boys up this week??

Mecreadie and Ezard are not playing

Well, that was just a deplorable effort.

Absolutely pathetic! This team has gone so far backwards from previous seasons. To think supporters were complaining about game plan etc in recent seasons even when we were winning. I found it staggering at the time and really frustrating now.

Is it time for the weakest link to go,just like the gays did,pay him out get another coach as we seem to have plenty of money.Was going to attend today but stayed home to weed garden enjoyed the day at home.

Really hurts me to say but I left at 3qtr time utterly ashamed.

With Collins you knew what you were going to get. It wasn't pretty but every player on the park gave their utmost.

Complete opposite now. You have no idea what kind of effort or game plan you are going to get.

Wolves and mates...please think hard about the future of the football department this week. I think you all have seen enough to know there is a big risk it is going to get worse.

Things need to change on the park immediately or people put on notice I think. The club needs a unified, decisive board when times get tough.

We have gone back to the dark days of 05-08!!!!
Our coach has a lot to answer for.
Injuries are no excuse for an effort like that today.
It would appear we are playing guys that are not fit or able to run out a game.
Justin Hardy is a Ken Farmer Medallist and at three quarter time had ONE possession.........
Webb should be our ruckman, Nelson isn't.

Luckily I couldn't go today. But when you lose a game by that margin it gets back to the WANT OF THE PLAYERS. It's seems this game was similar to Sturt.
When you lose games by that bigger margin. Questions  need to be asked. The players didn't turn up to play today.

Too many inconsistent  performances this year

We're missing some players, but this is badically the same team who beat Glenelg by 16 goals only 2 games ago.

We were 5th then and had kicked 21 goals.

It comes down to work rate, skill level and mental application.

Lachlan raises a good point about the pre-season and injuries and that does need to be addressed as a priority. That put us (and the coach) right behind the 8 ball.

Today's effort wasn't acceptable.

ALL OF THE ABOVE

BIG deal we beat the bays how good are we,they have been beaten easily this year wait till we play them next time maybe different story. THE CLUB should hang there heads IN SHAME you have undone Andy's work in less than 1/2 a season.P#SS WEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
