And yet Mcintosh kicks goals more often than not when given the chance.

This didn’t age as well as hoped

He's no good.  Great, he can tackle but nothing else

Bigger issues than Mnasell. Thought he was good enough today. For a guy who would be on lowest $ and cost us a rookie pick. I think we get overs for Mansell.

I think we have big issues with 7 year contracts for the GWS boys, in particular Hopper who isn't in the top 25 midfielders in the comp.

Yep at tigerland  we seem to fall head over heels over  blokes who have a red hot go but lack in most things.
Play enough of these types and there is a tipping point even during games.

What i saw he played mostly back what a wasted opportunity to get a game into a kid like Brown.

Those in charge are paid big bucks to get the balance right the balance of playing talent over plodders.

Give brown a go and send Mansell to the tip.

I’ll be one out again on this but he was solid yesterday. Hard and clean with plenty of run as per instructions.

I just finished watching a replay and have to say while he laid some good tackles his overall impact on the game was minimal.
He is nothing more than a battler who is getting the best out of his limited talent.

Going to go back to this

As a defender who would you pick him in front of.

Rioli, Broad, Vlastuin, Brown, and even Banks. Im picking TALENTED kids in front of him and the other three are well in front of him.
Another kid who has been injured all year in Kaleb Smith has more talent.

We have to stop playing these types. The long term damage is almost criminal.

As a fwd im playing Cumberland, Bolton, Clarke, Coulthard, and a tall in Bauer in front of him. To pick him in front of any of them is folly.

Really?

Thought he offered nothing when he came on

Did we give him a new contract this year? I thought i read somewhere that we did. If true talk about incompetent list management.

Why are we so keen to keep what is the saying? oh yes role players, By that i take it to mean a player who is lets say a fwd but can only perform one of the  jobs ie pressure  of the many that is  required for the role. 

As much as i lke the way he goes about it he just has to go.

Who wasn’t credited with a tackle against the Saints.
“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.
