Yes.....some of the loosest checking ever seen by Morris that day.....
Morris did the best he could with limited talent. He isn't a good reader of the play, not fast, not tall but he played in the AFL.  Well done.

Can't believe he didn't stop Betts that night

Thought Elton might stay on, perhaps another developed big man is on his way? :shh

Elton was always goenski, showed in every AFL game he played this year (sadly) he wasnt up to it

Not playing in the VFL finals was the final nail IMHO

How is Griffiths still on our list?

Surely people don't think he's going to do an Astbury and turn his career around?


Or maybe just cut later...?

Griffith is signed until end of 2018.
We have plenty of space due to retirements and delistings.
Leave him for next year and see what happens

Hold onto for mine.

I agree, if I had to guess I'd say I don't see him making it. However, we're stretched thin (excuse the pun) with talls so I'd say we're only getting rid of the ones we can't afford to keep on our list.

I've heard Chol is nowhere near it, and from the handful of quarters I've seen of the magoos before AFL games I would say there's not much to excite me.

Doesn't look like he knows what he's doing/where to run, and lacks effort. Very athletic of course but otherwise not much else to interest me.

That's concerning. Hope hes  not Like Daw at Norf a great athlete but a liability as a footballer.

Yet he'd already gone past McBean after two NAB Cup games accordng to some..... :shh

Given I know nothing cos we won and I thought we had holes everywhere I'll caveat this. I reckon we ought to draft 2 mids and trade miles for schache if miles is a goner. If he'll stay keep him.

Of course we would trade Miles for Shache

But considering that's an impossible pipe dream, we'd better look at other options

Well considering McBean is long gone to the SANFL and Chol is still on our list albeit tthe rookie list,  think Chol is still ahead of McBean.

And i still think Chol showed more in a couple of preseason games than McBean did in his AFL career. ;D

“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

We've already got one mummy's boy on our list and at least he played in our reserves grand final. Schache on the other hand left his teammates to fight out a premiership win without him.

NAB or not, Chol has outperformed McBean at AFL level :shh
