Todd Elton

[FLATearth]

The tall stocks on the list is pretty concerning. The remaining big options are all fairly speculative picks and long shots; Chol, Garthwaite, Soldo, Moore ...

Elton is problematic.

Griffiths gets knocked out every five minuets

[tony_montana]

He'll probably get another crack at it next week - you'd think Benny will have a bit of time off. If he struggles again next week, its Chol time. We've really got to rotate and give Chol and Moore a crack at it this season

Did you watch the VFL today? If you did you would know it's not yet Chol or Moore time.

No I didn't and even if I did I wouldn't judge them on a game where we got done by 12 goals, I also would cut Chol bit of slack given he got ko'd last week..  Chol has been pretty good this preseason and deserves a crack, and I'm sure at some stage this season Moore will deserve a shot too.

Come back Benny....all is forgiven.....

Elton Struggled. 

[big tone]

I haven't seen the game yet as I'm moving house and could only listen to it on the radio.
So I make these comments without really knowing just how ordinary Elton was but regardless of that I think he deserves a couple of games to get the pace of it at least.
No one else is bashing the door down so why wouldn't you persist with this guy for a few weeks and really find out if he is worth persisting with. Either way he has had long enough on our list and an informative decision needs to be made on him at the end of this year. It's the perfect time to give him a block of games to show us all if he can play at the level.

I might think differently after watching the game but I doubt it.

Anyway good win by our boys.

  He want as bad as some on here are making out. I was at the game and he played his role which for a player who has only played a few games is all we can ask at this stage. 9 possessions, 3 marks, 5 hit outs and 4 tackles....not bad.

Tend to agree with this

Didn't think he was that bad.

 Thought in the ruck he was poor (Griff much better option) but he made contests, created contests for the small forward sand bought the ball to ground. So based on that I reckon that was his job yesterday and he was Ok

[MintOnLamb]

Agree, he deserves a few more games IMO, his shot at goal was a classic, probably very nervous as well.

[mat073]

I'm not a Benny fan but he's light years ahead of this bloke .

How could Chol be any worse ??

[tony_montana]

Hope Im wrong but I reckon hes done. I have been happy to give him a fair go but like when I saw Mcbean in the seniors, there is not getting the pace of the game  and then there is wayyyy off the pace of the game to the point where you cant see them bridging the gap required. Would love to be wrong but after 5 years Ive seen enough, looked well off it.

Mostly agree. I think that it's important that we give him a few games in a row though.

Hes Not done, cause There's nothing else.

Mcbean and vikery are gone

Griffs alway hurt

Chol, garthy, soldo, Moore are no where near it

Geez help us if jack goes down

Questionable like management by Hardwick and friends

Can we bring in Tyrone on loan?

Mr Vickery go away with this embarrassing idea.

[big tone]

I just watched the replay and I thought Elton did ok.
Competed like he had to and got a few kicks himself. The second half was a scrap and impossible for a 200cm forward.
He will keep his spot going off what I saw.
