Each game is worth noting . We got a mal Michael but don't know it cause of a bloke that moves like a boat and isn't too interested. Not helping rance or Grimes

some blokes have such glareing weaknesses do we really need to see em play in the ones to acknowledge thay arent anywhere good enough.

i reckon if supporters paid more attention to player weaknesses there would be less disappointment and insistence that they get games.

At this stage of the season they still need to to be given the benefit of the doubt and a chance to see what they're made of at AFL level. Who knows, some might surprise, either way it beats continuing to play the same blokes that we already know for certain aren't good enough for the seniors because we watch them stink it up in the seniors every week and have for years.

your right. take it further though, why have people recruiting players with such glaring deficiencies????.
we have 45  because we should be able to find a decent proportion of players who meet basic criteria. only at richmond we havent yet worked this out.

doesnt matter what stage of the season, if they dont have the attributes to succeed why play em.

Credit where credit is due..
I wanted to run this bloke out of town during our horrific start to the year.

He has been solid over the past month.

Good post Matt,  I'd add that he needed to stand up earlier in the year when it counted - particularly when Rance was injured.
Guess it shows up his limitations which makes his leadership credentials dubious to say the least. :-\

Chaplin on 3aw:

* I think the catalyst was the other Essendon game earlier in the year. We had a stern meeting. We were more open and honest with each other. After that we played good football.

* I think Jake Carlisle tested Newmans patience by calling him really, really old.

* Playing on Joe Daniher last night who is a bit inexperienced gave me a chance to drop off a few times and help out Rance.

I'd argue rance has been excellent.

Chaplin since the rance return has been less shyte.

I'd swap him for thatvguy hardwick said was winning the b and f




I do wonder what the powers to be rate as the best backline if everyone was fit.
Grimes is leadership group so must be rated highly
Astbury apparently winnig the b and f
Rance is clearly a level above the rest
Would they play all four?

 Nondount the powers to be love Chaplin. Credit to houli for being less squibby recently

Made Daniher look like an ever bigger pale, pimply gimp when standing next to him.
