Play the Kids - Time to empty the vault

[The Stigga 1,097]

Moniz, Jefferson, Sestan, Adams, Verral, Kynan Brown, get them in.

I thought we were playing the kids - Howes, Woey, Windsor, McVee

[redandbluemakepurple 377]

Moniz, Verrall and Sestan in.  Bowey came back underdone as did Petty.  Foolish to repeat mistakes.

Listen to the band!

Ridiculous.  Complete over-reaction.

[Bates Mate 4,520]

I'd be happy for brown to get a crack. He plays with speed and intensity which we sorely lack right now

[layzie 34,528]

Play baby and bathwater, also toys out of the cot as sub.

Hyperbole plus +

This would be a complete kneejerk reaction.

Too many kids Danhausen, you don't want to curse them or burn them out with overreliance early on

[Fromgotowoewodin 1,606]

Wouldn’t have expected people wanting to rush back to the Neeld era but here we are.. should we make Laurie and Taj co-captains? 

[640MD 3,570]

INV. Taj might be a chance in a couple of years ( games perhaps)  not a star but very solid, just needs a couple of pre seasons and more game time. 
He will be a lock for the 22. 
 

why do we play guys who have been injured and rush them straight back in.

Moniz - yes, forward or back he’s worth a go soon. Personally now we have defensive options with Salem, Bowey and Woey we should chuck Moniz forward at Casey and see if he can produce some 20 touches, 5 tackle, 2 goal games 

Jefferson, Adams, Verrall - no way, not physically ready and losing their match up most weeks at vfl. They’d get smoked at afl level. 

Kolt and Kynan Brown - maybe soon, but absolutely no rush with either, they are working on their craft as mid/forwards at Casey.

Sestan - no for now. He can earn a debut in the back end of the year if he’s consistent at vfl level but I don’t think he’s a medium forward at afl level, he’s a high half forward/mid and that means building that tank, a lot! 

[Young Angus 875]

Hahaha funny thread...agree with Moniz and Kolt though

[rpfc 29,030]

Who for?

Drop the kids to play the kids?

This was always going to happen - a completely inert performance from a bunch of blokes playing a new way off defensive transition.

Progress isn’t linear. 

[Supermercado 2,806]

Hopefully picking half Casey's squad will help us match their fine achievements this year.

Like when Port reunited the Mark Neeld All Stars of Barry, Toumpas, Trengove and Watts.

None of those players listed are much good and none are physically ready, otherwise they would be playing already.

The fact that Howes and Billings are regular selections despite being consistently ordinary proves this. 

I'm hopeful on Brown, not confident on Tholstrup and resigned to the rest not making it. 

[picket fence 18,190]

Woey needs to play for the rest of the season!

Why the hell is this even a thread.

Because when we lose some people get very angry and want to sack everyone

After a loss like that all threads are the game day thread

I will pass on your vote of confidence to AMW

[spirit of norm smith 16,680]

Andy Moniz Wakefield.  It’s time to give him a go.  And not just one game. Three games minimum.  He’s still learning but gives it a rip.
