Luke has been playing out of skin IMO. He always looks awkward around the footy, I think he's been really serviceable but just like Miller last year we can't expect him to play at AFL standard every week.

We need another key forward desperately. Aaron Edwards needs to be tried or even bring in the Bean for a game against Adelaide after the bye.

Luke isn't the answer for mine. He just isn't at the level IMO.
have always thought this but when i say it the nuffers have a go and it degenerates.
the only thing i disagree on here is bringing a edwards in for a genuine tall. if we replace mcguane it should be for a player like elton astbury or griffiths all genuine talls. all genuine forwards imo.
for sure play a edwards, play him in a pocket or off the bench changing the structure down.
let me put it this way
when sides structure up they normally go kpf chf should be one of astbury elton, kpf ff shuold be riewoldt,  and ruck /forward should be vickery  in a pocket if he can perform the role of either a ruckman or a kpf. . when the ruck forward goes on ball bring edwards on.
it is not a problem.  teams still rotate their ruckman both forward and off the bench. aaron edwards meets a lot of requirements that we lack the only criteria i put on giving him a game is as a medium sized player he defends well and he works hard. he cant play as a tall we need him to apply defensive pressure when we dont have the ball.
i like aaron as a player but he doesnt get a game atm because he must add defense to his game.
imo hed be the best leading player and hit up player at the club that we have. we are screaming for a player who is similar to him.

Spent the night before in hospital and probably shouldn't have played.  But continue regardless.

If in hospital night before should not have played. Edwards could have played. There was no need for McGuane to play if he was unwell.

Why not, that's how we manage our players at the RFC, if they are injured or sick, play them until they fail or breakdown, what's wrong with that.. :whistle :whistle :whistle

We didn't help any of our key forwards yesterday, constantly dropping the ball on their heads instead of putting out in front.

Lukey dropped a few on the lead that he's been gobbling up in recent weeks

If you can't get more than 2 touches on Seller/Dunn then you should be delisted on the spot. Gastro or nos gastro.
