Yep play him. |
And if he was played and didn't deliver in the way the masses think he should, those same posters would be calling for his sacking.
Just like they are doing with Ben Reid. |
I think Reid is going to be a Gun player, people want Dawes because its time to have a look, even if he doesnt perform well we can still see how he looks, moves, reads the play and how good his work ethic is, and its a no brainier, Dawes for Maxwell who is in the worst form of his life, if Maxy isn't dropped then whats the point of players performing at vfl level if we continue to play blokes out of form at afl level?
As for Johno is seems everyone agrees on that too, again same thing as last year, we hit a wall, looked lost, played the kids and almost won a premiership, youth lifts the side to perform and indicates to players that the pressure is on, especially the senior blokes, they need to step up and lead the way.
its now or bust for Dawes and Caff this year, they might be the missing ingredient.
You need to roll the dice sometimes in footy, its time mick gave the dice a shake. |

Good point Jim - Maxwell needs a spell I would give Cox a run ahead of him, his form against Essendon is decent!

I like a lot of these ideas.
I think Cox has shown enuff in the VFL to be given another run & think Maxwell is due for a break.
If Leon is fit, then chuck Didak, Thomas into the middle & drop Ben Johnson also. This will give a for an Illes type player (or even a Lonie as much as some hate to say it). Heck, put Heater & Tarks into the middle more as well.
If Josh aint fit, then I think there is nothing wrong with givin Dawes a run. Yes he hasn't exactly set the world on fire, but give him a taste & that will pump him for the re season. |

Not sure if Maxwell should be ommitted. However, I do see the reasoning behind this.
Dropping Maxwell and bringing in Dawes is just ridiculous. But bringing in Cox is a good idea as they are 2 similar type of players. And I would not object to this move as Cox is a good utility type player.

Yes, unless as some1 suggested you play Jack down back as a defender & that would have a spot available up forward. |

| I agree it is time to roll the dice and give one or two new guys a chance. You loose nothing removing Maxwell and Johnson and I would try Mcaffer or Dawes or /and Isles.If Jack plays back and I think he should then lets see McAffer.He is small for a key possie but by all accounts a very straight kick and quite quick .. with some service he could kick a few. Otherwise lets use Isles Jedda is seriously fast and I have lost faith in Johnno.Dawes is not ready .. he must perform better at VFL level and Fletcher would have no trouble with him. Whatever please MM don't just sit on your hands and say "it will be rite on the nite".Be pro-active and throw the dice. Won't happen though! |

Agree with Cox also, the bloke has brilliant skills and disposal. No more excuses we can fix our deficiency at the selection table.
There is also another bloke i think we are forgetting Egan, talk about a wasted talent. Would be a shame to see him not get another chance to prove himself. I know i complained about his commitment at the ball and player, but give me Egan over Johnson in his current form anyday. |

Anthony can go back if need be. |
I think you need to add Goldsack to the "Definately need to" catagory.His game on friday was terrible, even for a kid and he seems to be going in reverse since we all started saying what a star he is. A rest may wake him up before September. |
