YES YES AND YES

I have been saying this all year.

for the benefit of the rfc we need to send him back to Coburg ASAP.

what benefit is he really, he is a very average footballer.

Could you imagine if simmo goes down, same problem as last year we need to play another ruckman and get some games in him at patto's expense.

IMO its very crucial.

Out patto, hyde, mcmahon

in graham, polo, rance

Graham has had a couple of good weeks playing for the Burgers so perhaps this is the time to bring him in for Pattison. I love Patto but he looks so slow and clumsy and lacks those crutial centimetres he needs to be a No. 1 ruck option.

I think Angus deserves a try.

Schulz had a terrible game. I am normally a big supporter of his but he was very ordianary in attack yesterday. He seems to have lost his leading, marking and kicking skills. Perhaps he found the transition from defense to attack to much of a jump in one hit?

Bowden is a waste of space. He tried to play the supporter leader giving advice to people who didn't need it but was a ghost for the rest of the game. Just taking the spot of a young fellow currently.

Hyde either did a sensational tagging job or was extremely ordinary. Can someone enlighten me?


For mine -

Outs - Hyde, Bowden, Schulz ......and maybe Patto

Ins  - Polo, Rance, Hughes.......and maybe Gus

if you love patto as a ruckman then you are very dillusional.

he is a pathetic ruckman. not his fault because DUMB FC.UK TW wont give another ruckman a go.

Patto needs a break. a blind man can see he is not up to afl standard.

But as usual the RFC will play under done or underachievers till they are limping.

we cant develop players thats why they get burnt out like patto and simmo.

no brains at all

if setanta played on patto right now he would run rings around him, thats how backwards i feel he has become

I didn't see it that way yesterday.  I thought he was very competitive in and around the packs and prevented White and Johnson from dominating at any stage of the game.  His stats were comparable with Johnson's and that is enough for a second ruckman - anything else is a bonus.  Remember last season at all?

yes dawson i do remember last year which is exactly why i want another ruckman in at patto's expense.

put it this way and tell me if u dont agree, patto is struggling IMO and if he or simmo go down we have to try graham who has played hardly no games.

we need to get some games into him and then if patto or simmo needed a rest he would have some expierience.

see geelong when otto went down. west struggled as he had no expierience but no im guessing he is way better for the run.

graham deserves a crack, patto needs a rest, simmo resting in the forward line. game over tigers win

No, if Simmonds or Pattison go down for a short term then we pinch hit for a couple of weeks with Polak.  If they go for an extended period then we promote Cartledge who is playing seniors well at Coburg and potentially capable of holding his own.

we need to get some games into him and then if patto or simmo needed a rest he would have some expierience.

Graham needs to earn a spot like everyone else.  If he can't get a regular game at Coburg then reality says he is nowhere near ready for a call up to the seniors.  Sorry to disagree with the romantic notion you seem to have that just giving someone an undeserved game will automatically make them up to it.
