if after 25 more games i had not seen too much improvement on what i have seen now, hadn't seen any real attributes that suggest he can make it, then i'd have no hesitation in getting rid of him.

Thanks for the answer  :thumbsup

I've seen enough and haven't seen anything that shows me he's any good or deserves the number 7.

Some players get drafted and show things right away  ie Batchelor, griffiths, Ellis, Conca.  But some show nothing ie Post, Dea. Get rid of them otherwise you have list cloggers that'll never make it like Browne, Graham, Conners (loser)etc.
Remember what Hardwick has told us from the beginning. Unless you can win your own ball you won't be playing for Richmond. Or he said something along those lines. 
We aren't experts but many of us see something early on that you can hang your hopes on, that one day he'll be a good player.
What I look for most is if the boy can read the play. If he can't I tend to have my reservations.
With Dea & Post I haven't seen anything that I like, especially the reading of the play. In my opinion Both of them seem to have no idea at the moment.

Nason was a fraggle and the joke of the competition.

He was a defensive liability, TBR liked him, he just had to go.

He also got an extended run in the seniors, something Dea hasn't been afforded yet.

I don't like Shane Edwards.

sorry dice I have no idea who you are.
Do you like both post and dea? And if you do why don't you explain why instead of posting a nice picture.

Can the two of you show some basic respect for the jumper and the number?
It's unsavory.
Oh and Stephen Ryan wouldn't be happy either >:(

I wore number 7 in under 10s and 11s and I find this highly disrespectful.

I think the "how long do you give him" (and BTW you can throw Post in as well) question is fair. Do you base it on games? Pre-seasons? time on the list?

To be honest no one has actually given a direct answer, people keep saying he needs more time but I am interested to know what people reckon that equates to

:thumbsup

I believe there's to many variables. People made valid comments on Nason's size and no improvement. Dea apparently has made improvement (havn't seen it, but i also don't see coburg games). Post is a tall, everyone seems to agree talls take more time. Makes it hard to answer whether it should be based on games, pre-seasons or time on the list
