What do mean by selfish things WP? Are you referring to players taking the game on or something else?

Got it in one al.

I appreciate that when someone takes an the game and it comes off it's great

However, the question is when should you do it

BUT when you decide to take someone on and you have no chance at winning that contest and you have a team mate in a better position to receive a handball or a kick that going to get your team into an attacking position then it is IMHO totally unacceptable because it isn't team orientated it is simply bloody SELFISH

That's cool WP and makes a lot of sense.

It is actually the part of his game that I like the most. For a kid who's about to play his 24th game I feel it's great that he will back himself. Lots of learning to be done and I thought DH was all for players playing their natural game. He stuffs up on occasion but if he can get experience and learn how to play like he wants to then he will be a weapon. Frankly I get really sick of overly cautious percentage football.

Eventually, if he shows he is not going to learn, then he will be tossed and rightly so. Even so the time is absolutely perfect for him right now, to try to learn how to take them on.

The kid has played few games and not many of them have been consecutive. He has some skill and obvious talent. In my opinion I'd give him a little more time to see if he can smooth off the rough edges.

PS. I just found the post in the Jamie O'Reilly thread where you answer my direct question about him. Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Another positive North Melbourne won. Means West Coast will win the spoon.
Would have been better if West Coast won as they would have lost their 2nd round PP for 4 wins or less
They play Geelong away next week so would never have won that one

Negatives

My Foxtel IQ failed to record the game.Believe it or not the earliest the game was on (in WA) was 4.30 am Sunday.I went to watch the "honourable loss" only to find 2hrs of tennis and only 5 minutes of footy. :banghead

Does anyone know when Austar is replaying the game?

The games are usually replayed back to back from memory Wednesday night till Thursday morning. Seeing as we were the second game of the weekend, we might be on at 8:30ish Wednesday.
