| Post subject: When did we last drop a BIG name?? |  |
|
The measure of any good organisation is keeping one's staff/players on their toes for fear that any misplaced drop in performance has consequences. I think to the following examples in AFL and other:
* Ross Lyon dumping Dal Santo & Milne in 2008
* Minson dropped 3 times this year for Bulldogs
* Shane Watson (finally) for 2nd test match in Ashes recently
* Nick Krygios and Kokinakis for reverse singles in Davis Cup last week
* KP getting the arse from the Poms cricket team
Invariably standards work. Think after 5 losses despite extenuating circumstances a stance must be made at match committee with an eye to rewarding those who deserve an upgrade to the seniors, such as:
* Marsh
* Dwyer
* Scharenberg
* Karnezis
* Young (yes even Young)

Good idea. Let's drop Pendles and Sidebottom.

Think you might have misunderstood the difference between dropped and recruited.....

Not sure where you are taking this post. I think it is more courageous to drop a rookie. You are more likely to be physically attacked. I coached footy years ago and was attacked by the team manager, occasional players, assistant coaches, wives; and more. All because I was a no nonsense coach who did not put up with crap performances and dropped players and sacked officials. Now days every one wants a big hug. We need to coach like I did and you watch the results.

| I believe the last time was in 1990 when we dropped Athas Hrysoulakis and we all know how that season turned out. I think you might be on to something. |

I think you mean Bryan Taylor and I agree. It was a big move that paid huge dividends.

Very good. Must have been the week after we dropped Greg Faull and Jason Croall!

Good to see the crux of the tread resonated with you!

The key to a good side is consistency in the lineup. I dont know what is/was wrong with Elliott but his drop in form/injury was probably the difference up until Cloke v Eagles.
Rash changes are great when you simply need to get the whole list up to the 50 game mark, in the bottom 4. I dont think times are that dire yet.
