I reckon they have to give him a few weeks but I do wonder if these next few weeks will determine his future  :-\

Guaranteed they will WP.

I would agree with you WP.

Also, many on this forum have been calling for Gourdis to come into the side week after week after week, please continue to suport him in this game and the coming weeks should he prevail... :thumbsup

He has finally been given a chance and he will need to stand up in this game......  lets hope he does well!!!

IMHO opinion we have all these talls.

McGuane and Thursfield have had years and they TBH aren't the solution.

Grimes was great until his injury.
Rance has shown wonderful progress this year.
Astbury is another unlucky one hampered by injury for the rest of the year.
Lamentably Moore our decent flexible and most experienced defender is in the same boat.
With our injuries lets be honest Gourdis needs to play for the rest of the year to see whether he can find a niche as a regular starter or as insurance.
Eventually we have to do the same with Postie to determine whether we have a keeper or not..
I don't think Dea will make it.
This year is so much still a development year despite our ladder position as we are in the unique situation of still tinkering with our list that still has some holes in it. Not as many as we had 18 months ago but holes that might let opportunities that present themselves fall through if we aren't vigilant and cover all our bases.

In summary let Goo play. :thumbsup

Given how many wanted Goo in the side, your thoughts on his first game back in the seniors this year?

Like most other defenders yesterday, IMO his run out of the backline and footskills shown at coburg over the last month were daunted by the pressure of the Melbourne press/zone.

Needs more time. If a key back is to be dropped, make it Mc.Gone.

His spoiling was good. He took a good grab but some of his disposal let him down but then again he was not the only one in defence whose dispoal wasn't flash. Persist until end of season

Simple, pee Miller off to Coburg for the rest of the year and play Posty at CHF for the rest of the season  :thumbsup

If I was Gourdis, I would leave the Dustin Martin-style fend offs at footy training. He just hasn't got the strength to do it and it's too risky to try them in the last line of defence.

He also went up when he should've stayed down and vice versa.

Disappointing game by goo, but imo is entitled to a couple of games to adjust to the pace.

I reckon he was well below average.

Fell over too easily, lost his man in contests and his disposal was appalling.

But I still maintain he needs to be given games until the end of the year to really assess him.

Should not be judged by his first game but his next few.

Still not alot worse than what thr millers. Mcgaunes. Thursfeilds if thr rfc world dish up.
