ON THE BLOCK: Everyone! If All-Australian and premiership player Ben Reid can get dropped then no one is safe under Nathan Buckley. Taylor Adams wins a ton of the ball but how useful is that when he continues to turn it over? Jackson Ramsay continues to struggle on the backline. Tom Langdon hasn't looked great since returning. On the injury front, Tyson Goldsack went off with concussion and will need to prove his fitness during the week. Darcy Moore injured him hamstring late in the game. ON THE CUSP: Ben Reid must be brought back this week. The Pies also need to be getting games into Matthew Scharenberg as he is the future of the club. Josh Daicos was named in the best for the Magpies' VFL side. Chris Mayne failed to kick a goal while James Aish was also quiet. LIAM TWOMEY'S FORECAST: What's next for the Pies? They need to decide if they want to keep trying to win games of footy and play established players or turn their attention to development. Would the club be in a better position going into next year if Callum Brown, Daicos and Kayle Kirby have six or seven senior games under their belts? That might be a hard call to make though for a coach who is trying to save his job. |
