you've got to be joking?
griffiths has never looked so lost and out of his depth as post has.

as for
"why does it have to magically stop."

well it's not magic, it's just what the plan was from the start.

first two years development ie getting 500 games into the kids, then a change of focus in the third.
disagree post has done no worse than griffiths but griffiths is the annointed one. 

the focus does not have to change but surely the plan is flexible and caters to circumstance. it seems not.

Post was a disgrace round 1.
As he hasnt improved on his recent showings at Coburg
Elton, you would have to be joking
Plays development squad at the weekend and you want to play him at Richmond
Huge difference between Coburg and AFL.
The development squad is worse than local footy.

Think Miller has a lot to offer.
Kicked 10 in an VFL game this year.
Way too many experts on this forum, you should try getting a job at a club ;)


Brad kicked 10.
However.
Huge diff between vfl and afl.

lol disgrace my arse.
he wasnt great more than anything made skill errors than defensive ones. came off a pretty decent pre season and was banished never to be seen. how did both rance and griffiths go in the sopping wet against two boys.  post has hardly been worse than griffiths  yet hes banned for life never to be seen again.

elton played at coburg reserves because of the rotation system they play too many talls in the seniors every week and talls have to go back.
the seniors cant win because theres not enough drive and mids and the talls have to go play thirds.
to me elton is the most talented tall forward we have outside of jack we should be getting a game or two into him just like we did with vickery griffiths rance etc  when they did nothing to warrant it.
elton showed pre season he can play against men. what is so different now to las yr or the yr before. the answer is nothing we still need to get as many games as we can into as many kids as we can without sacrificing too much. we would not be sacrificing a thing if we played either of post or elton in place of vickey or miller. my granny can not perform that poorly.

yeah, he did.
I'm definitely on the play post forward bandwagon, because he has been horrible when playing down back for richmond
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

griffiths has at least looked comfortable, while not excelling.
Post is...what is you say? Deer in the headlights sort of stuff. looks lost and out of his depth.

Elton will play when the MC reckon he is ready, and they wont base their opinion on 3 or 4 good bits of play in a pre season mickey mouse game.

If elton showed he can play against men then derrickx showed he can take strong contested marks against the best the year before

Can tell you he was disgraceful and dropped accordingly
Coaches were pulling 'their hair out "' over his performance

No, 2009. Kicked 9 against Werribee that year too. Also kicked 7 in a half on Lachie Hansen in 2007. Finished the game with 10.

Sorry claw but he was disgraceful round 1. Hence, why he was rightly dropped

If you think pulling out of a contest because your about to get hit is OK then you can say Post was great

If you think dropping your head after dropping a sitter mark and then refusing to chase the oppostition because you are too busy sulking then you can say Post had a fantastic game

Sad thing was this wasn't the first time he's done those type of things and for a bloke his size he shouldn't be doing those type of things

There's an old saying "built like Tarzan plays like Jane" unfortunately that was Post in round 1

"Oh yes I am a dreamer, I still see us flying high!"
