I think you may be forgetting how classly parfit could be. Had an awesome shimmy.I'm finding Clark hard to read. He's like a mix of Atkins & Parfitt, but once or twice a game he pulls some super classy shit that those others cant do.

Blicavs/sdk key defense, neale full time ruck? In a emergency perhaps.Thats what worries me. We will get away with it now and even next week (no cox or mihocek for coll) but in a prelim or an SF im not sure it holds up. And we have no other options as COS isnt ready and jeka isnt that type of kpd.
Post it!

How did we persist with parfitt for so long? He hasnt played for 9 weeks. And barely got a game last year.Not sure whether to praise the MC for the positional shifts and personell changes (all of which worked) or criticise them for not making the changes sooner, given that many of us have been calling out for Humphries and Mannagh to be included for a month or more, and for Stewart to be moved to the midfield for just as long.
Unsure why we persisted with the MOC, Parfitt, etc mix for so long when it so clearly wasn't working. It arguably cost us games. But anyway, better late than never lol.
Agree with you on execution. He aint the best kick.He did.
Its the decision making and execution that lets him down.

Scott asked about this in the presser. Being sub was mainly to ease him back in. Pointedly said no one should interpret it as him not being in our best forward line, “he is”.Soooo does Henry cop the sub gig twice in a row next week or does he come in for Neale/Rohan?
Rohan has the third tall job ahead of Ollie Henry for mine... but I doubt we'd play him sub twice in a row and Neale went ok.
Also do not see any reason to mess with the smalls... Mannagh, Miers, Close and Stengle can all play together.
Sorry I just got home butStoned Cat??
Im waiting for it FARKEN......!!!
You keep clinging to this while we watch rohan stamp his spot on the third tall roll. And now mannagh add to the dangerous small foward mix of close, stengle, miers and dempsey.Scott asked about this in the presser. Being sub was mainly to ease him back in.

There is literally no room for henry in this side.
He was back a few years ago and looked comfortable in the role.Blicavs is the obvious option if we feel J. Henry is undersized. I genuinely don't understand why people are acting like COS and Jeka are all we have in reserve when we have a guy on the list who won a Carji and made the AA squad as a key defender. To me he's the self-evident "break glass in case of emergency" KPD. Re-deploying him to KPD while SDK is rucking is no more radical a positional shift than moving Stewart to midfield or SDK himself to ruck. We don't need to be gambling on unproven kids or journeyman list-cloggers, we have better alternatives available.
Rohan needs to be at the start of the game next week imo.It's good that Rohan is getting games but he needs to managed very conservatively.
Thursday 6:25pm you will see you are wrong.You keep clinging to this while we watch rohan stamp his spot on the third tall roll. And now mannagh add to the dangerous small foward mix of close, stengle, miers and dempsey.

Great win, most complete performance of the year but let’s not get ahead of ourselves, hawthorn are not a good team. No matter what narrative the media peddle.
Think Rohan offers more then Henry. I like Henry as a sub.
Humphries stays in as a hbf.
Must keep Stewart in as a mid for large chunks when the game is in the balance. A big body with composure is a new look for our mid. Works well with danger.
I just don’t see much ceiling in Clark. Atkins 2.0. Probably the only player at risk of losing his spot.
With Bruhn and Guthrie injured I would have MOC as the next in, if form warrants. Just don’t see it in knevitt the way this board does. Otherwise guth and bruhn are the only others that I think help us outside of this 22.
Must play Mannagh going forward. Offers a new dimension in the middle, can take Clark’s role as that defensive mid link and offers more up forward. Is mercurial.
SDK has his confidence back which is the best story of the game. Let’s hope he’s recalibrated and continues on his 2022 trajectory.
Was Knevitt dropped or injured for this one?
