Ive seen enough.

Time for the Chol  :clapping

From what I saw yesterday at the VFL, no it's not

Have some faith WP. Could do worse than Elton?

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

Ill flip a coin then. Heads i play, tails you can don the guernsey  :thumbsup

If it was up to me, I'd elevate Soldo and play him. The guy is showing more than any of those mentioned so far....

Actually it is interesting

Watched him closely yesterday and I was impressed by a lot of what he did

But I will confess to being generally surprised at how his tap work is just that in the majority of cases soft taps. Couple of times he could have monstered it forward and didn't. Mids had created a clear space with forwards attacking and he just tapped it down literally at his own feet, ball would have travelled less than a metre.

As I said was surprised by that, show the kid still has a lot to learn

I agree that he has a lot to learn but he is the best ruck out of Elton, Griff and Chol. He is also playing around the ground better than the three and also hitting the score board on occasions. I thought he was a dud of a pick when we got him but his improvement has been extraordinary. He can't do worse than what we've currently got and in fact can do a lot better.

Did C Moore play. Braithwaite or whatever his name is?

KPP stocks are so poor right now. Just waiting for Astbury to break down.

Thought Elton was poor but I know that Griffiths has well and truly had his shot. Would rather Elton over him at this stage...

Yes C Moore played, exceptionally disappointing game for mine. Outside of trying to take mark of the century at every contest, did some really selfish things. Worst being about 55 metres out with the centre corridor open and a teammate leadingl up 20-30 metres out on his own and Moore tries to kick a goal. Please don't tell me he didn't see said teammate because I was 100 metres and I saw him easily.

Also, was off for a fair bit with a knee problem, came back on late in the 3rd with it all taped up, would suggest a slight medial strain

Garthwaite played. He isn nowhere ready for AFL but great signs. reads the play well and the kicking action is scary but he didn't miss many targets. Patience

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.

You seriously can't put a line through his name yet? Gee wiz it seems like you think his games have been acceptable :gobdrop

Just needs another half a dozen years on our list before we can make a call.... :shh

Griffiths, Post, Elton, Gourdis, A.Edwards, Miller, Hamspud etc...

Looking at our KPP recruiting over the last decade one can only conclude that FJ & MoneyBlair had a severe case of Janes Addiction....
