FJ you can’t say he needs to stop rewarding players who don’t deserve a gig and then in the next line say he should be playing Cumberland.
Naismith may not be the future but he has been playing well in the vfl while Cumberland has been struggling.
I’d also like to see Cumberland in the side as I think he does play better at afl level and it’s essentially his last chance before being delisted, but let’s not pretend it’s about rewarding form.
Cumberland has played decent games at vfl level and did not get selected. That is an absolute fact and not just this year either. Has played some average ones as well but so has mansell, graham and about 4 other players. Now if its all about form mansell should be omitted this week. Has played 2 very ordinary games hasn't he? Mcintosh, Naismith, Graham, the list goes on.
McAuliffe. Dumped after 1 average game only to then watch as our senior side get smashed by 7 goals. Sonzie...
Ryan is another. Having a cracking season and donuts. In a game we needed forwards a nice guy has been gets selected before him. Crazy.
Maybe last year but I don’t think he’s had a good game in the 2s all year, although I could be wrong. At this point since 2022, he’s been ignored by Dimma, mcqualter and yze so there’s obviously some issues there since it’s not just a case of 1 coach digging his heels in and not selecting him.
Ryan I agree, he’s had the form to warrant selection.
Don’t get me started on the decision to drop sonsie and mcauliffe. Absolutely ridiculous decision that makes you question what they’re actually trying to achieve this season.
