That he still gets a game for us sums up where we are at. Should of had the line put through his name long ago

Heā€™s literally the 6th guy weā€™ve tried as a tall forward, you carrot. And still kicked as many goals as anyone on the ground.

Heā€™s as far from our biggest issue as he is from our best side.

2366

There is a reason he has played 50 games in about 8 years, he isnā€™t up to it. He should be playing VFL permanently. We have far better options than him currently

2367

You really shouldā€™ve watched the second half too

If you are happy with that performance good on you. Iā€™d be happy to never see him play in the ones again

He isnā€™t best 22 but he had a shocker last night- practically invisible yet still kicked a couple and out scored Buddyā€¦ As a reserve I have no problems with him filling in to cover injuries while Francis, Begley develop and Stewart hopefully reaches his potential.

Would Brown have kicked 2 in the same role last night?

HE was good in the second half. Terrible first half

2372

From our rookie listed 3rd ruckman forced through injury to play his second position?
He was fine.

Fair enough, personally I would of atleast tried a Tommy/Looney combo first and think it may have been more successful. Hopefully Hooker is fine though next week and it becomes a moot point

I donā€™t think Leunie is that much better to be worth stuffing around with our structures for.

So long and thanks for all the fish.

Good-bye and amen.

2377

Clearly isnā€™t best 22 but heā€™s a really useful back up. Reasonable chance of a contract in 2018 imo

Will never play another senior game of footy.

Thanks for everything Shaun. Particularly round 1 this year

2379

Is Hooker a certainty to only miss one week?

2380

Hope so. Even still. Iā€™d play anyone else. Mckernan is done

How did you rate Stewartā€™s game?

2382

Just as bad. Ineffective after quarter time. All our talls were pretty ordinary bar Hartley

2383

Yeah, I donā€™t think he was so bad that he canā€™t ever play again. He took half a game to get back up to AFL speed, in a role heā€™s not really suited for.

I thought his second half was ok. I mean, if Hooker is ready then no question, but I wouldnā€™t be doing something silly like bringing Leuy in, and taking TBell out of the ruck.

Of course, if Franga kicks a bag todayā€¦
