1. Don't play Houli
2. Don't play BEllis
Bit harsh
50 possessions between them
It's not about quantity, it s about quality
Staggering they played Houli. Hasn't played all preseason why didn't he come back via the VFL? Should not play round 1. He was very poor. Clearly underdone, so he was a liability. Our back half in the frost quarter were terrible. The positive signs showed in the first 2 weeks with the way they had gelled together was non existent in first 20 minutes. Damage done, game effectively over.
Ellis was better today BUT he played alot on Maine. That contest was about butter (ellis) versus margarine (Maine), think peole shoud be able to follow me here
The selection of Houli should not surprise anyone. They still feel obligated to pick after he left Essendon for the Tigers all those years ago
Ellis on Mayne isn't the fault of the player, it's the fault of the coaching panel who were stupid enough to put a midfielder on a key position player.
