Krak doesnt deserve to be in the team. It is a disgrace he is getting a game.

I'm with you there Bull

[Bulluss]

If you had seen him today at training Mopsy, you would have thought he had been told he wasnt playing.

Jackson is a fraction stiff. Okay he hasn't done alot in the games so far but he's been handy in bursts at FF in the forward rotations.

 I would have have preferred Krakouer at Coburg to show he can win some footy consistently over a few games and earn a recall while the rest of the senior side was left unchanged bar Hughes coming in.

Out: Jackson, Pattison

I really do struggle with the selection decisions at times

I mean I happy to see Cleve get a game but wonder how it can be of any benefit to play Pattison one week drop him the next 

I reckon Jackson is very unlucky

As I said I don't get it

[Mopsy]

If you had seen him today at training Mopsy, you would have thought he had been told he wasnt playing.

Perhaps they are trying to maintain some trade value

[letsgetiton!]

i have a feeling krak will kick arse tomorrow night

[DallasCrane]

I agree with the other contributors- Krak doesn't deserve a game at the moment. Jackson looks more dangerous in the forward line than Krakouer has for the last season and a bit.

Having said that, I hope your right X. But as The Bull has been saying- how can he learn anything after one week in the ressies.

Disappointed Patto and Jacko got dropped 

[mightytiges]

i have a feeling krak will kick behind tomorrow night

The only reason I can think of as to why Krak's got a game is he kicked behind in the corresponding game last year. 5 goals straight.

he was also named and meant to play last week but due to balance and structure was dropped. he will go ok, just cos one may appear lazy does not mean he is. take joel bowden for instance, looks as lazy as hell but we know he isnt. whenever a player can make the hard things look easy , then the normal things appear lazy. im prepared to give krak the benefit of doubt, and hope this year he steps up a notch. its just round 4.

what amazes me, is players like tivendale. i have watched every replay since getting back from italy, and dont understand why so many supporters are rating his games this year. his poor kicking and decision making have influenced  many bad trends and losses, esp in perth! he still stuffs up and its contagious.

at least when krak gets hold of the ball he uses it with perfection

[Bulluss]

Come off it X, you are kidding yourself.

Krak is lazy and that is fact.

How long has he been at the club for now? He still doesnt have enough stamina to run in the midfield, coz he is lazy and isnt prepared to work hard enough to increase his stamina. FACT

He also refused to tackle at training yesterday as i reported and was pathetic.

As for Tivendale, i have been one of the first to lay the boots into him over the last few years but he has been one of our best players this season. He is currently leading the league for inside 50's and is running hard, finding space and setting up many forward movements. Sure he still turns it over at times but most of our players do.

I hope Krak does come out and kick 5 goals tonight, but i can bet my balls if he does that he wont get a touch for atleast the next 5-6 weeks.

[letsgetiton!]

the only ppl who really know how hard he trains is himself and the coach. i can say the same thing about many of our list, how many on our list can really run a game out, not many. lets just sit back and watch him this yr, if  he continues to not do what he is emplyed to do, fine send him off, but he just may come out of his shell this yr, we are 4 games in, if he didnt deserve to be in the team or wasnt in our best 22, do u think terry would have selected him?

what boggles me is why terry persists with tivendale! but thats another topic

[Cain]

Given Krak plenty of chances. He needs to shape up or be shipped out. Happy to be patient with young players - but he's way beyond that. Flashes of brilliance dont make for long term success. Consistency is critical.
