Think our task become harder now Fyfe is out.
While overall our opposition is weaker without Fyfe it also means they will be less predictable and their gameplan will be changed as result of Fyfe not being out there.
This is where we will struggle as our coaches are not exactly quick at adapting.
And if Walters plays even more uncertainty for our coaches to deal with.
Failed in the box when pies changed there gameplan reckon the same will occur this week.

Agree with Casboult + Willo out for McDonald +  .....someone. Is Silvagni available? If so, its him. If not, its Kennedy.
Betts as the sub is something i called for mid-game last week.

I wouldn't go further than that at this stage as i think the replacements are worse.

Stocker i'd like to see more of.
Carroll ditto
Kennedy/Silvagni depending on Silvagnis fitness.

If you watched that  PRIME "making their mark" stuff you would surely have realised that GWS are certainly not in a good space. Cameron won't last past this year (if not sooner) so it's hard to gauge how good FREO are.
We should win but I thought we'd knock off the filth so what do I know,
Yup, the gws stuff on there was a real eye opener. Lead by that inspirational leader Cogs!!!  Johnno Brown he ain’t

Time to make some moves.

Murphy, Newnes and Setterfield out, Cunningham, Stocker and Silvagni in.

Fogarty to defence b/c he can tackle and use the ball.
Stocker into the guts replacing Setterfield
Cunningham to provide the run and X factor that Murphy can’t provide
SPS to rotate through the middle

Fogarty Jones Plowman
Docherty Weitering Saad
Williams Cripps Martin
Fisher  McKay Cunningham
Gibbons Casboult  Silvagni

Pittonet Stocker Walsh

Curnow SPS Williamson Dow

I’d also drop Casboult but I just don’t have any trust in McDonald, so he gets a reprieve.

You'd be putting Stocker to the sword under the current playing conditions, if these rules were about 2 seasons back he may never have been drafted.

Hopefully his fitness gets to the point later into the season that we can make use of him, aerobically he's not elite, despite having all the skills.

The one who should get a gig is Cottrell, not fast but highly aerobic, he'll still be running at the final siren,

Time has come to rest Cripps, playing with painkillers each week isn't on imo.. They don't have Fyfe so good time to do it and its time to test kids and work out who is doing what for the future.

The next two weeks, the prime opposition midfield movers, Fyfe and Rowell are both out, give Cripps a rest and see if others can stand up.

Yep, and that might be the right circumstance under which to test Stocker, because at least he can have a run down chase type player working besides him. Have all of Cripps, Walsh, Stocker, Setterfield, Ed and things are looking a bit slow.

Maybe time for Dow and Setterfield to step up and show they can do Cripps job. Reality is Cripps is now at the managed state of his career IMHO and we need to be smarter and share the workload. Sometimes in adversity strange things happen and players go to the next level with responsibility, Kennedy is another who deserves a chance and maybe can re ignite his career.

Agree, others need to urgently step up in the engine room. Looking at "Cripps in the managed state of his career" already!! Doesn't take us long to chew up genuine talent and spit it out mangled does it??   :o
Reality always wins in the end.

Where is the "what do we get for Cripps?" thread? If he is playing sore, then yes rest him and play the others. We do supposedly have depth now.

Cornes and Lloyd reckon Cripps is only worth $750k a year given what he is producing, not sure we are going to get the value most here suggest he is worth if he was traded. Its become a real problem given his contract status...

Bit hard for a guy like kennedy to step up when he's clearly on the outer with the coach.....

Played some terrific games last year, then injured, then overlooked....

And has the ability to double as a legitimate lead up, 3rd tall type forward.

Terrific overhead and a reliable set shot.
Finals, then 4 in a row!
