Not sure how his game was anything worse than Griff produced this year or most other years in fact (excluding his one good game every year)

Elton Struggled.  :rollin

In the name of stability, let's keep this dud on the list for another 3 years just so we are absolutely sure he is a spud and not just deluded by his stellar vfl form  :sarcasm



Is there any possibility we can recruit a decent KPP?

Woeful today, could have had a mannequin in his place today with no difference to the result. Can't hold his marks, can't kick and generally is VFL level at best. Unfortunately his papers are already stamped, certainly can't complain about opportunities, has been around long enough to be doing better if he had any ability.

He took a good mark from the side once, shanked the shot and faded into oblivion...He does however have a slightly better disposal efficiency than Grigg  :shh

Better off just playing Lennon as the second forward....no coincidence his best half this year was after Griffiths went off v Collingwood....problem is we need to play someone who can back up Nankervis in the ruck or we'll just run him or into the ground like we did to Maric....

Chol is a year away at least. Soldo can take a mark, kick a goal and at least be competitive in the ruck. Play Jack at CHF, plonk Soldo (,and Nank when resting) on of FF line and let the mosquitos feed of anything they don't mark. Alternate, Caddy and Martin at FForward. More than anything else we can't risk burning Nank out.

Have some faith WP. Could do worse than Elton?

If you cannot get a kick in a 200 point win, I'm not sure you are ready.

I'm sure Chol could come in and take a nice mark or kick an exciting goal but surely we want more than just a few highlights. We have had that for 5 years with Biff.

I'm sure he will get a game later in the year, but we need players that will contribute more than a couple of highlights.

I'd keep playing Elton for a few games yet, purely as he is a big body that can give Nank a chop out but more importantly so we can put a line through his name or not.

He is streets ahead of Elton, though I reckon you and I would be too  ;D

Just didn't think he was very good yesterday, was actually disappointed in his game, lack of intensity, just cruising with poor decision making and skill errors when under no pressure
