Didn't he only get 4 touches 2 weeks back in the 2's?

Then he gets 15 touches and a goal this week.  He is still a work in progress clearly, very up and down.

 i raise you vickery, Aaron edwards, Shane Tambling, Hampson.

You like a few others are completely missing the point. We have players who deliver similar stats in the one's consistently so whats the difference?????

Play the kid and give him some game time FFS, and permanently leave the worst player i have ever seen in Angus hampson out of the side.

I'm just sayin he is up n down. You would want to be careful who and when you play him. I'd hate to see him smashed by some fullback, drop a key mark in front of 80K and mentally never recover from it.

We have to cull a lot of the aged at the end of the year too.

[Francois Jackson]

Fair enough but a few things

1. We won't be playing in front of 80k this year and possibly next

2. Our season is over

3. He needs game time and we have shitkilda, GWS coming up

What's the worse thing that could happen by playing him.

[WilliamPowell]

Angus, our season has been over for weeks and our brains trust (and I use that term very loosely) has shown no inclination to give kids opportunities this year.

So why would they start now?

Can't have it. It's not our way....sadly

[tdy]

I agree Angus, against the lower sides, go for it, play him.

You're dead right we wont play against 80K again this year.

St Kilda yes, GWS yes.

Collingwood at the G no. Not that I checked our fixture, do we play them again?

Nope only play Essendon out of the Big 4 twice this year - which is another baffling thing that I'd hope the club is questioning the AFL about but suspect are not. Should play the other 3 twice every year like they all do against each other, regardless of where they finish.

[Yeahright]

The difference being they are getting similar stats in a much, much harder competition. Before you sook though I agree now that the season is shot play the kids no matter what

D you think it's easier for McBean to play forward with Williams bannfield Darrou passing the ball to him?

Or deledio cotchin Martin ?

Do you think it's easier for McBean to kick goals on Joe Goose in an open forward line or Harry Taylor in a crowded forward line kicked to him deep in the pocket?

[Judge Roughneck]

With Riewoldt maric Vickery griffiths as potential forward line partners. Mcbean would not be getting the no.1 defender / Harry. Taylor. Jack on his own usually attract numerous defenders.
Mcbean would getting the best defender currently. Which would not be light years ahead of the 3rd or 4th senior defender. Mcbean would likely have a size advantage at senior level too.

Coburg in the past have been awful. And at times Richmond VFLa bbit of a rabble. Very often some people play betterat senior level with good pplayers around them. Even given the step up in tempo.
 
For mine - with mcbean near winning the VFL Coleman medal and still not getting a game behind mcgaune aedwards hampson sums up hardwicks backward mentality

[the claw]

i still would like to see him play at chb.

[Judge Roughneck]

Me too. Mcbean rance Grimes astbury looks the goods

[Rampstar]

Grimes hasnt developed as much I as thought he would. He looked very very capable early on but he is an ordinary player IMHO and if we can get a decent trade from a club wanting a potential key defender we should take it.

Sounds good in theory, but have you seen the delivery into our forward line recently?

Where does this idea that you have to play AFL to develop your game come from?

Have Geelong got it wrong with Kersten?
