Claw, the team won by 10 goals and you want to drop King who kicked 3 goals in the first 3 quarters,
Vickery who at least gives Maric a rest in the ruck in the d50 or fwd 50
You and I both know Jako won't get dropped thought I agree totally with you why drop Ellis when he has done everything asked of him.
Surely Maric for Batch is the answer.
I agree with you on alot of things Claw but our list unfortunantely still has flaws and until we draft or trade to fill these deficiencies staples such as Jako and smalls like Nahas King and Mini Maric will unfortunantely be part of the landscape but leave that for another time. I guess for now we pick the best 22 available.
For me I can't wait for a fit Astbury to come into the side and straighten us right up.
i think i named 4 players who were ordinary imo.
what i have said is to allow batchelor to come back in rather than drop a kid who is performing consistently above expectations, we should target one of those 4 who have been mostly poor all yr and didnt have great games. how about we try and take some of the load of those who are currently carruing us atm.
hmm the way i read it ben griffiths did not deserve a game he didnt earn it thats for sure. vickery was pathetic no other way to say it. 6 posessions no goals the odd hit out and little else he certainly does not deserve a game why not do what we did with griffiths and give a bloke like post a game or see what derickx can offer at the level. why must we continully reward utter mediocrity which is what vickerys whole season to date has been terribly mediocre.
me id be giving post a game and batchelor would be back in nahas would be one out if we keep vickery as the back up ruck one of king or jackson would be the other.
its so funny vickery has played 7 games this yr and he would be very close to our worst player in all 7 of them and no one wants to see him dropped. we dont have to tolerate this we do have options. my attitude is we could play tom derickx and not lose because he could hardly perform worse than what vickery has offered up to date.
it wont happen there are clearly favorites who can just walk into the team without doing a thing. and there are clearly favorites who stay in the team without doing a thing.
