Also thought the Chad was important in our 4Q surge
If I was coaching I wouldn't drop him. I'd tell him this morning he's playing this weekend as an Inside mid and I expect better than I saw on Sunday. Time to throw him in from the deep end.Originally Posted by longmile
Drop McClean? Agree he was quiet, however Why Jacob Weitering is clearly the AFL's best key defender could have been a reason? He need to learn how to play with Buddy and he won't get better if he is not playing..
Stephens needs to feel he is one of the team, and again needs to play to get better.
McLean has had back to back poor games where he's hardly competed in a marking contest. I would prefer to give McDonald or Amartey a go this week.
Yes, although since that position is the back-up ruck at the moment, would have thought Amartey more likely.
Chad certainly hasn't had the influence in recent games as he did earlier in the season....and has shown he needs some tweaking in decision making and disposal at times. He's young and developing and isn't immune to criticism or being dropped. This week, probably not but another quiet one and a rest might be wise.
I wonder what is going through McLeans mind?? The highs and lows of footy all in one month of footy!! He was the in form contested mark in the competition, he would now be among the worst! It is a fine line between keeping a young developing KPF like him in the team for a learning curve, and giving his spot to someone more in form!!
Out : Franklin, McLean
Ins : McDonald, Amerty
Franklin copped a knock in the 4th quarter and will be possibly ready for a rest game. He’s played three games in a row and may need a rest.
McLean is not bringing the ball to ground. Amerty and McDonald may be able to bring the ball to ground better. Amerty is can possibly help Sinclair in the ruck better.
I liked Brand as a tall back. Bigger body than Fox.
Warner was named in the best players against Freo just a week ago. He is obviously performing a role the coaches appreciate.
When do we find out where we're playing the Saints?
I thought Warner was ok. Was a big contributor in the last quarter.

On radio this morning it is either Sydney or Cairns with Cairns the preference as StKilda play there the week after.
Horse saying Fox and Hickey will be back this week so that's Sinkers and I'd reckon Stephens out.
Brand with his height needed to match King, Hewett may tag Steele, their only reliable mid. McLean on shaky ground but stays unless they want to try McDonald again?
Cairns? We're unbeaten there I believe?
