I've defended this bloke over time but after Sunday I cannot excuse the inexcusable
I posted on another thread
His half hearted effort in the 3rd which cost us a goal when we had the momentum was unforgivable
I'd drop him this week without hesitation
He's the VC, time to make a statement and say efforts like that won't be tolerated especially from our "leaders"
Put him on the table for me trade week.
Won't get much, as i asked before would you trade for him if in charge of another club. I most certainly would not even if he came for free.
Everytime he goes under the radar and keeps his spot means quite literally that a kid does not get much needed experience at the level in the role
Given where we are at he is literally taking games off kids imo..
As a defender where is he in the pecking order. There are probably ten players we could play across hb including shortsteps. You work it out,
Me i think we should be going with Miller, Balta, and Gibcus as our future tall set up down back. The mediums and smalls should be Brown,Trezise, Smith with Vlastuin and Broad all before Short that is clearly the way we should be going.
How simple would it be to roll Rioli to a wing and for that matter even Nathan Broad as a defensive wing fixing the wing problems in one easy swoop allowing some of our most promising kids to play hb in their natural roles.
Yes he is taking games off kids and if we have better long term defensive options needing games, then you have to ask where else do we play Shortsteps.
So tell me what other role can he play and who is he better than at it??
Do the exercise and it become very clear that he is surplus to needs.
