He made the MC's decision look genius

The MC all of sudden is making the right decisions.......Funny that

Playing last years B@F, Keeping faith with the kids by giving them a decent block of games, no automatic inclusions to the likes of Hollands, Saad, Williams.

How long has it been since we had blokes that either have a touch of Kent or that SA in your face style?

Dean, Cowan, Bryne, Cottrell, Ainsworth, Newman, Haywood all have it

Add in the mid field bulls we have and finally we are no longer as EB filled with too many 'Von Trapp' types and its working.   

Also isn't Dean an absolute bloody ripper. In his first season has to be an outside chance to be in 40 man AA squad. Is never beaten and has not had the support of Weitering and still gets it done. Should win the rising star if form continues.

Weiters in, Ison out?

The Derk doesn't deserve to be dropped... Perhaps Weiters in, Ison back to the Magoos and The Derk up forward to replace Ison?
Derksen looks like he belongs and does not deserve to be dropped but he lacks a few inches against taller opponents. If Weiters is back, giving him a look up forward should be on the table as an option.

Liked Dean not taking crap from Greene, who is looking at a holiday if the MRO has any consistency at all.
I reckon Greene is all but out the door to the Cats- I posit that a few senior types at GWS aren't buying what's been sold.  They're a bazillion times better than losing at home to us by 4 goals (should have been 10).

Maybe give him one more week, but it's probably time for Ison to have a week or two back in the VFL.
Just as a developmental thing.
He's struggled a bit the last few weeks.
Let him go back and get a bit of confidence and a few possessions.

Me personally, I'm leaving him in. He (and Byrne, Dean) have something we have been lacking for years, kent.
Give them good long runs in the 1's I reckon, their confidence will come when given the challenge and having faith put on them. The team has grown in confidence and together, they have worked out how to get themselves out of the pickle they were in the first 7 or 8 rounds. Ison and Byrne need to dragged along in all that. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Just my opinion, its neither right, wrong or what the MC will do neccessarily.

Surely there is something there with Riley-  ok taps aren’t worth everything, but jeez that’s a lot of them,  if we can teach him to use the better, surely he could be a weapon.  A decent amount of touches as well.  There must be something there

Probably the only potential positive from that dreadful disappointment of a game. Yes, Moir got a lot of the aggot roaming around down back but a lot were easy possessions. Seems to want to be a mark and kick kinda guy, without wanting to put his body on the line? Undoubted skills, but endeavour still has a ?
