I'm not convinced. He was in and out of the team for his first few games until becoming established. He didn't play any JLT games and I think may have played one full game in the NEAFL.Originally Posted by goods78

It's hard not to come to this conclusion I agree.
Just what we need, another bizarre injury.
Yep. Big job for Marsh/Laidler on Boyd (presuming Grundy plays on Cloke). I expect Reid to float back there a fair bit.
Reid kicked 3 goals last week and would be wasted down back. He is no Key Back. I just don't see how we could possibly win with only oner key back. Astounding selection gamble. I think we just witnessed amateur hour.
We are going to get physically monstered. A thumping cometh!

We have them where we want them, everything is going according to plan!
Wolftone, you are the only poster on Red and White who doesn't support Horse 100%.
What had Horse done in previous seasons to not have your 100% support.
He hd an operation in the off season and was not training when he went overseas. He was recovering from the op. He did the toe after, a setback he didn't need.
What's the matter with playing Melican then. His form in the pre season was very good.
Someone here called him a genius He's a good coach who can't win the big ones. He can't seem to play against the Hawks style of footy. Dogs play it as do some of the other sides, GWS etc. He can't change his game plan or tactics when he is in trouble. In the 2014 GF he admitted he was out of ideas at about the 25 minute mark of the first quarter. It didn't get better. In 2016 he selected players with match fitness issues and we lose again. Sorry but if you don't take fit players into a GF you don't win, even if the umpiring is against you you can still win with fit players.
Sorry but he inherited a great list. Has had two huge signings. Has had a really great list and yet still couldn't win more than one premiership. If he can't get players up for a GF when a premiership is the prize, gee whiz. Add to that he has the best bull mid in the comp and the runner up in the Brownlow in the mids. Our list is strong but some decisions astound me. Some players still get a wlak up start and shouldn't. Some players can play more than three bad games and be carried by others yet still get a game. Others, the fringe players only have to play a bad quarter and get dropped. He has coached the tweam to top in 2014 & 2016 but failed in the biggest game of all. His coaching failed both times but more so in 2014. I am not the only one who doesn't support him 100%. There are plenty of others who have doubts. If Clarko had our list we would have won 5 straight.
It would imply that coaches think Laidler and Marsh are better at covering the talls than Melican or AA, and they want Newman to replace Rampe's kicking. Either that or the doomsday scenario - they can always swing Reid back if plan A doesn't work out.
Very interesting selections by Horse...I hope there is a dastardly strategy behind it, not just shuffling the deck chairs .
I'm surprised Melican didn't get a game. He was good in the pre season, played with plenty of composure and he would of given us more options defending their talls.
Cunningham is lucky to hold his spot. I hope he's given a very specific task, perhaps a lock down role on one of their halfback flankers.
Anyway I reckon it sets up the type of backs to the wall mentality that the Swans enjoy...Here's hoping.....Swans by 15
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT
