When he gets involved he can have an impact pretty quickly and effectively
But he seems to pick and choose a bit too often.

It's been stated often that he chose Carlton because of Teague
Does anyone have a source for that?

The current Adelaide coach doesn't seem too keen on that aspect at the moment and if McGovern was still there he may not be playing.

If McGovern, Simpson and Jones are all fit then bring them in along with Thomas and drop Lang, Kennedy, Plowman and Marchbank. If need be, Stocker can push into the middle but is probably a chance to get a job on Cameron or Rayner. Thomas can play on a wing and through the middle....he's not quick but he's been one of the better players this year and uses it pretty well.

He's served his penance and backed it up with a BOG effort in the VFL....what more do they want? I think Bolton was non-committal on it when asked but he's not in the driver's seat this week.

I would drop marchbank for balance if it’s needed, well before Casboult. He has been a steady rock in defence and one of the rare bright lights.

As for Polson, I watched the 2nds and he did what he always does, SFA. Hardly touches it runs around like a headless chook guarding space and shanks it every one of his 5-7 touches.

If we are serious the new coach will delist him at years end. Won’t make it. Need to move on and stop justifying running around in circles is enough to be promoted. I know we are the bottom team but he is that far below afl level it’s not funny.

Possible outs: Fasolo, Lang, Plowman,

Fasolo cannot possibly stay in. Lang’s zip / 3 in front of goal is a coach killer. We need to fit Simmo into the backline. Kennedy is the one I’d give another we to. Not sure if McGov comes straight in....
