Looking at the selections this year appears as though we are tanking already, surely the club knows we have no first rounders in this year's national draft? They must really like players in mind from the second round which we currently hold picks 21, 39, 57 (gave away 3 to GWS for Hopper).

Changes Vs West Coast Eagles
- Thread starter silvertiger
- Start date
On a dry track that may be the case, however in the wet against West Coast who has an undersized forward line & defence makes no sense.
Reckon I'm with the MC on these changes. Miller lucky the young one is injured...
Fair call. Get along. Have a Saturday afternoon beer or two. Given the predicted temperature, they’ll be ice cold too.
But…. He drops his head and wears his heart on his sleeve.
Slap it out of him…!
By the way, he never bags or abuses his teammates, just gets disappointed when he doesn’t meet his own expectations
Young out and isnt replaced.
So Miller stays in as the defender on the bench.
The only alternative was to bring in Bauer, which clearly was a close call
Miller is lucky but its also due to his flexibility
Sorry but thats a rubbish argument. So a young player drops his head after a few mistakes and is hard on himself. Means he cares. Stupid reason to drop him especially in our current predicament. He is dropped and now has a full week unless he is the sub with no footy and plenty of mind games to work through when he should of got a hand on the shoulder and told to just keep trying and things will work this week. I remember a one Alex Rance who was almost identical in the way he was hard on himself when he was making mistakes early in his career. He turned into a not bad player that bloke. Imagine they kept dropping him for being hard on himself.
Exactly. Have never seen him get dirty on a teammate or abuse a teammate. Gets disappointed with himself
He certainly is passionate and never abuses team mates, but he does sook after making a mistake which can cost the team through a lack of defensive effort. I saw this right in front of me against the dogs and commented on it at the time. It wasn’t picked up on the broadcast, but he smacked the ground in frustration after a turnover and plodded to the next contest which he would have easily covered if he hadn't been carrying on.
Obviously this is only one example but was pretty poor viewing and i can never imagine someone like George Castsgna acting this way, and I think it indicates that attitude is his problem. I suspect Noah's been told this many times but the message isn't sinking in, hence Dimma has found him hard to praise in his press conferences, regardless of his forward prowess, and has dropped him to reinforce the point.

Dimma is either tanking or coaching for a termination payout. Only way those changes make any sense
Brings back Beer Shites Ralph instead of Dow and keeps Miller in who is as useful as a chocolate frypan.
Cumbo dropped is a *smile* disgrace.
Pretty obvious Dimma as it in for some players and hence can’t make rational decisions about them

TM. You are right but I would find it too hard not to cheat and have done so in the past so now I have to do it right
Earlier in the season when he was in the vfl he had a poor game where as an example he gave away a really bad 50 by letting his frustration get to him. This is the issue.
This is the final piece of the puzzle for him. He is a burst forward and he is going to have times where he doesn’t impact. The lesson for him is that when that happens you work hard, do the basics. He isn’t doing that and after watching him live last Sunday I was disappointed in him in this aspect of his game.
How he reacts to this will define him going forward
Our forward line was like witches hats with the ball coming out last Sunday. He was only one part but it was clear to me he wasn’t working hard enough.
He is massively valuable to us going forward, forwards who can kick multiple goals in bursts are great weapons, but he can’t just be an occasional offensive weapon.
You can use the words rubbish and stupid all you like, I am just giving you my opinion.
Some, as I said post match we actually matched them well around the ball and a number of players had decent games. The biggest issue was our lack of work rate when we didn’t have the ball. I suspect a couple of paid the price for that.
But there are some who didn’t have great games for sure.
It’s how you react then which is the issue Merveille.
Keep working don’t work less
Same with Sonsie. He got schooled by a bloody good professional in Bobble. Use it to get better
It’s a lesson, I hope they learn from it because we will be better for it if they do
Is Young actually injured? Nothing in the injury report or any of the press conferences about it?
Or is he 'injured'?
If it's actually a dropping and they've decided to play Miller down back instead that's a horrible decision. Nonetheless I will be there cheering the boys on to their first win in Melbourne in a long time.
