Graham is crap and any thought of bringing him in the side should not even be discussed.
Yep wish claw woukd shut up on this issue.
why because you disagree.
make no mistake ive been wanting the likes of graham and white chopped for yrs on end now and nothing has changed. but we are in the now and we do whats best for the long term. i make three points.
1/ who comes in if ivan goes down and we are puching for finals. hmm do i hear you say angus graham. wtf just throw him in the deepend probably when his form has drpped away and is pooe at coburg
2/ look at most clubs #1 ruckmen. most have been out injured at some stage this yr. sooner or later we will lose ivan for a game or two or even long term.
3/ ffs what does it say to everyone at coburg, and even worse in the team when the best players every week at coburg are just overlooked. white and graham are clearly not the future but what about a thing called culture and a thing called earning your spot. no one can say graham or white have not earnt a game.
we can play both at the drop of a hat and not lose a thing when one considers how badly out of form the players they would replace have been. ie vickery king nahas these blokes dont have to improve or become consistent because they know no one will be promoted.
jeezus we moan and groan me included when players we dont think are good enough get games or continue to get games, but bloody hell we all have to acknowledge when players deserve a call up like it or not.i dont like it but graham and white deserve a game. especially when the mantra out of the club was you have to earn it.
graham for vickery what do we lose. a side benefit from that is ivan gets to spend more time forward and is not run into the ground. graham will give something in the ruck unlike vickery and can do no worse forward atm.
white for one of nahas or king. what do you lose? the answer nothing. you actually drop players for poor performance and promote those who have earnt it at coburg now that is taking care of culture.
yep we need to both reward the good performances regardless of who they are like it or not, and we desperately need to keep pushing kids to the front at the same time because we are still very much at that stage.
its not all about this week or next week but the long term. something we do this week may well hurt us this week but long term will benefit us.
