Miles has had a very poor start to the season and i hope it is due to an ankle restricting him. Needs a rest or needs to find form at VFL.

Clarkson supported Sicily after a round 1 shocker....he went out of his way at training to emphasise to him that he would remain in the side and that he belonged. Hardwick is clueless.

HHHAAARRRGGGGHHHHHH IT IS HILARIOUS.

So after 7 years of Hardwick the best we can come up with is a 24 yr old failure from another club and a 25yo with the skills of a 10 yo.What marvelous depth this club has built up over the last 7 years.

The scary part is it is about as good as it gets outside of the handful of injured players.

Hmm i wonder what odds i can get on that 1 and 9 i thought a possibility.

Post by: big tone on April 14, 2016, 09:25:43 PM
As I said the other day, I'm happy enough to see players like Miles dropped if their form warrants. It sends a decent message that form counts, not reputation.
But as I also said I wanted to see something different. How is picking Hunt after nearly the worst game I had seen by one individual ever, get a recall a week later?
If this game was in Melbourne I wouldn't  go.
Moore coming in I'm happy with but FMD I cannot believe they have picked Hunt again. I would have said his papers were stamped after that performance 2 weeks ago. 

Also dropping a kid after one quiet week after going out on a limb and saying we may need to take a step back to go two steps forward, basically saying we are going to play some kids. Just pathetic!

Post by: Lozza on April 14, 2016, 09:35:49 PM
Hardwick hedging his bets with selections,, this week I think it might be three steps back and no steps forward, his presser again will be essential viewing. We could have record clangers, when we actually get the ball that is, don't think we will see much of it to be honest. Can already hear Hardwick saying we got beaten by last years grand finalist so we now know the level we have to be at..... More and more spin each week.

Agree with sentiments that this game will be lost because of team selections. Hardwick's failure to stick with Youth in dropping Short and his decision to bring Hunt in whose skill level is questionable when the team needs skilful players shows very poor judgement.
Title: Re: Official team round 4 --- Miles out
Post by: YellowandBlackBlood on April 15, 2016, 08:43:43 AM
I can deal with Moore as we gave him a life line and should at least give him a try.

I can't deal with Hunt's selection. He played one of the worst games I have seen by a senior AFL footballer the game before last. I don't care if he had 100 possessions in the VFL last week. He can't be rewarded with a senior recall after just one week. Add to the fact that he is not the future as he has little upside and it makes the decision even more unbelievable. And poor Short gets the chop...... :banghead

Disagree that team mates ignored.  Last week i saw him in no mmans land half a dozen times on the hbf. Not sure what he was supposed to be doing but didnt look good.
I dont agree that one game seals your fate but by the looks of selection its not because a bad game.

yeah, top class coaching and development. kid plays his first afl game as a small forward and shows good signs. next week he spends time at half back and looks all at sea. For sure, the obvious response is to drop him, FFS!

It's probably been mentioned but I cbf going through the thread but Rance aside how bad is that back line comprising of soft, poo scared, out of form, slow, plodders.  All we need is Hunt to be the spare in defence to round out that lot of spuds.

If they are going to bring someone in despite poor skills and decision making, why not give Castagna a run at it? Might not quite be as good as Hunt defensively in theory (very debatable) but from what I can tell he isn't a poo scared little girl which more than makes up for it. Factor in the potential and surely Castagna deserves the nod?

100% agree.
And there is no doubt Castagna would give you more attack when we have the footy.
I thought this was his week, that's what makes the Hunt decision even more disheartening.

I can see why they haven't picked castagna instead of hunt.

He'd quite possibly do ok off half back, then next week he would be played in the forward pocked and struggle, and then the football challenged hunt would come in for him the next week anyway.

They have basically just streamlined the process and achieved in one week what would have taken three. Quite smart actually.
