Yes, I tend to agree. Given the data from Daniel Hoyne about us being 18th for conceding scores from between-the-arc turnovers, I would have thought decent ball users would be an absolute top priority, even taking into account SPS' other failings.

I'm not sure 10m sideways is decent ball use or really helps us at all!

I hope the kids provide a spark that we sometimes seem to lack, but we have just as much chance of going the other way.

Its a tough call to be making in a very winnable game. Lets hope the MC hasn't cost us the 'w'.

Sadly SPS is still superior to any of those ins and the same applies with Murphy. That’s what happens when your list is shallow and the replacements are simply not up to the level. 

I agree with you but it was a big call to bring out the axe in a game we desperately need to win.

Oh well this time tomorrow we will have a better idea where we sit.
Petrevski out? .... finally got his right whack for his weak contributions

Out: Marc Murphy (injured), Zac Williams (injured), Matthew Kennedy, Sam Petrevski-Seton

Emg: Kennedy, Petrevski-Seton, Will Setterfield and Tom Williamson

Very confusing

Newnes, Murphy would have the first two that I would have omitted, but the MC chooses SPS. He’s been played out of position most of the year and was far from our worst last week - terrible choice. Give the guy a go in the middle ffs.

Dow in is a positive, but on balance we’ve chosen a weaker side with all of Newnes, Parks, Betts, Plowman, Casboult and Owies all flying the flag tomorrow.

Good luck to all but I’m not filled with confidence.

If we lose tomorrow and there are calls for Teague to go, who would be his replacement?

People have been saying that Clarkson is a shoe-in, but on today's result he has shown that he is also incapable of winning with a below average or poor list.  And the same can be said of Ross Lyon.

It could be that good coaches get the best out of an average or very good group of players but there comes a point where a list can be so putrid that it's beyond the help of any coach.

We need an experienced coach, someone who's proven, someone who coached the big games.

Buckley!

Kane Cornes. ;D

His post matches would be great.
He would criticize everyone...including the coach. Wink
