Hate is a very strong word and one I don't particularly like to use

Don't respect him is a better way to put it

His disposal yesterday was average at best and he is clearly not fit. Yesterday he gave us plenty of glimpses of the "bad" Dan Connors, the one that wont chase and the one that tries to do the "show off" (aka selfish) type things rather than the team thing, first option thing... and can I add he one mate that stood out as a beacon in that regard as well at times yesterday....

Even though I see a pile of potential in Dan I can also see a fair bit of bad as well.

However I did see something I wouldn't have expected off Dan yesterday, ie he backed into a contest.

Vickery to replace White or Nason? I didn't know that either were ruckmen. Might have been as juniors but not at senior level, surely.

Maybe you are just looking at ruck stats as neither of them won a ruck contest yesterday and deserve to be dropped on their poor ruck performance?

Or are you proposing that with 3 ruckmen, Graham, Browne and Vickery, that one of them could play on a half forward stuff and run and chase all day? Have either of them been training on the half forward stuff?

I think that hardwick mentioned after the game that they might be looking at Vickery as a short term tall forward option to help Jack out, especially with Griffiths out for the rest of the season.  Probably about practising the structures he wants moving forward into next season.

Yep Dimma wants TV in as a second tall forward to straighten us up and take the focus off Jack after we spent the first half yesterday running around and handballing in circles. Unless we are planning to give Gus a rest then it seems we plan to play all three of Gus, BrownE and Vickery this week.

serious question but this week do you expect Hardwick to go all out to win therefore just play one on one man on man footy or do you want him to continue the education process and play some zonal stuff which we have struggled to do well?
