How could Elton possibly still be worse than either of them?

I can tell you , he is
That's because the club has developed him poorly.
The guy is 197cm, mobile for his size and can take a grab. That gives him a great platform to be a KPP. The rest is development.....

True to a point. He was rated as a junior though. We picked him at pick 26 in the draft IIRC.

We do turn them into spuds pretty quickly at Punt road though.... :whistle

Both Astbury and Maric wernt good last week but were they worse than Hampson and Chaplin? I didnt think so. Cant remember seeing Maric turn it over like Hampson did thats for sure.

Dont like those two changes but after last week there were probably 12 you could make. Good that the younger ones are getting a exteneded run though from what I saw last week that is part of the problem. These guys are just getting pushed around by bigger bodies. Supose you cant have it both ways (playing the kids and bigger bodies) but some teams seem to do it.

Dont like the Griffith backline idea much. That has also been part of the problem, trying to turn guys into something they are not and playing them out of position.

As a KPF I haven't seen BBBG do a lot.

I actually agree, in the complete opposite way to what you think

Reliably unreliable

Griff in the backline is the sole reason we have Hampson in our team so I never want to see it happen again

He seems pretty good

Do you find a spot for him when Cotchin. Grimes. Lambert. Lennon. Yarren are fit and we he a non insane coach?

Hopefully butler. Chol. McBean. Put on pressure

But you're unsure about him and in another thread you listed the players we should keep playing but omitted him. So obviously you don't rate him as one of the kids we should keep playing? Why is that?
