Simmonds playing on good decision or not?

[peggles]

Simmonds playing on was a necessity.
We have no ruckman.
what a joke that a club can recruit for years yet ail to recruit ONE ruckman

what the eff did Simmonds do last night that Browne or Graham cannot?
I presume neither are in a wheel chair?

Tuck is our best ruckman, put him in the ruck.

Graham hasnt had a possesion in the past 2 practice matches and Brown isnt ready as yet.
At least Simmo can get to the ball and has a crack, cant say the same about Graham

getting to the ball and having a crack isn't worth jack all when he constantly turns it over and falls over and can't win a hitout, let alone one to advantage. 

[peggles]

you couldnt possibly play graham...he offers very little.....maybe nothing

well...simmo literally offers nothing.

So true. Nothing to be gained whatsoever by persisting with Simmo who is clearly past it.
He was thrashed by Kruezer.

It's a fine line between playing a raw ruckman to teach him 'on the job' and having him battered around and his confidence ruined for ever.  I don't honestly know which way I think on this but it's not an easy choice for the club.

How could anyway say to play Angus Graham ?
he has been statless his past 3 practise matches.
At least Simmo has a go

Graham was very good last year. Who cares about preseason games

[Gigantor]

Smokey i think you are right on this...so its best we leave such decisions to the experts(the club)

He was terrible last year.
What games do you people watch ??????

[jackstar is back again]

Angus played 16 games last year for 46 kicks. Thats an average of 3 kicks per game
He played in 2 wins.
In those wins he had 1 kick and 2 kicks, Fantastic 

Forget about Angus Graham please.
We need match winners, players who can turn a game, he couldnt turn his toast at breakfast time.

What we need at Punt Road is a mobile ruckman who can mark around the ground and take contested marks at that.
A "Paddy Ryder type."

Totally agree, play Tuck in the ruck. We all know he will give 100% and we all know he will not give us first use but get our on-ballers to play man on man at ball ups and throw ins. This way we have 4 blocks in the middle that can actually get the footy.
At least this way we will not be playing a man short everytime we take the field.

Our ruck stocks are at an all time low so let let them learn at Coburg and wait until they EARN a spot. Even Vickory needs to start to show a little, the only reason he is in the side at the moment is he was an early draft pick and we are hoping he can answer our prayers. But to date imo has shown little to nothing.
Harsh but fair i think.

wow jack when you rattle of those stats ..his performance looks even more ordinary

[jackstar is back again]

Wouldnt you all like a Brad Ottens type at Punt Road now

[Gigantor]

jack ,otto saw we were a basket case and left,,thats my take on it now

Yes i'd love someone like him at the club...Do you think that maybe it would have been wiser to hang onto Patto for one more year and dispense with simmo?

[Gigantor]

Seen Patto at Northern Knights, was hopeless below his knees and was a bit uncoordinated.= aint going to make it.
There is a perception in the AFL if they are 6Ft 5 ins, they will make it, 
Need to just keep turning them over to you find a good one, we tend to hold onto them for too long.
If Browne cant play senior footballer regularly this year, he is out the door with Graham a step ahead of him.
Would try and trade for one of Brisbanes ruckman.
