Did he nearly shin a shot on goal today? 1 goal 8 behinds in 10 games?

Johnson was his opponent and destroyed us

If we'd played Angus Graham predominantly as a KPF in 9 games I reckon he would've given us a better return.....

Any muppet that has defended this guy needs a lie down. Out of his depth by an absolute street.

List management 101.. Griffiths never plays a full season... Is Elton honestly our 2nd best KPF on our entire list? How does someone keep their job with a decision like this? We literally have 2 KP Backs and 2 KP Forwards that are AFL standard and nothing else. That is simply not good enough.
Go Tigers!

Who's our second KPF that's AFL standard?

Can't help but wonder how McBean would've gone this year getting 6 games in a row.... :shh

Fair point, I'm grasping at straws suggesting Griffiths?

The club needs to come out today and make a statement that they are releasing Todd from his contract, it is inexcusable to tolerate this sort of effort from any player on our list. 

His non competitive nature cost us any opportunity of taking advantage of our fwd 50 entries yesterday, how a guy of his size cant impact a contest in a physical nature is mind boggling.  The club cant accept it and cant expect us supporters to accept it either.

Play Soldo and rotate him and Nank between ruck and CHF.
He'll have some poor games but he has way more upside than Elton.

Its come down to whats best for the team now .

Nank is obviously our best ruckman.  But he is probably our second best tall option up forward .

Would like to see how the Soldo/Nankervis combination  goes - would have to be more effective than anything that contains Elton.

People claim Chol is too raw but then want Soldo to play?

Soldo is a big body that is going to be taller than most ruckman and able to hold his own in a contest, Chol is way too lightly framed and would be pushed off the contest too easily.  Big difference

Chol is bigger than you think, he also has a leap and is explosive albeit has a crappy tank.

 Soldo rucked against Lin Jong and a part time ruckman and people assume he will be able to make a contest against sides with afl standard ruckmen? I would argue he has less of a tank than Chol at this stage

You can argue, the point being made is that Nank would provide the best option at CHF, doing this leaves the ruck spot and i dont believe at this point in time that Chol's body could sustain that, whereas Soldo's body could.  Its trying to make best of a bad situation.
