I Thought Thursfield played very well competed hard and was solid in his delivery.

Thursty is out of contract in 3 games whilst McGuane has another year on his (at 400k I might add).

Would anyone dare keep both on the list next year?

I'd keep Thursty, purely as a depth player.
Maguane should go.

What happened to Willy's bed time stories?

The Glove has done well in recent weeks.

Getting better week after week.He made a couple of blews with a hospital handpass and kick on the full,but then did well.Took some awsome grabs in packs and his defending was good to.Work in progress but like what I see and could be like Rance just need's time.I think he just need's to gain confidence.

Being at the game I have to say he did himself no favours yesterday.

I thought he was very poor indeed. Decision making was poor which results in him slowing down the play far too much

Must admit i watched him pretty closely yesterday after thinking maybe i have been to quick to write him off. But yesterday he was as bad as ever. His man (a kid with 10 odd games to his name) kicked five goals that could have easily been seven or eight.
To be totally honest i don't think he has much of an idea. As a backman he gets lost in play and is only good for one effort. Has to play forward if anywhere.
To be fair should be give one last year next year to turn it around but will go on record and say he will not make it.
Happy to be proven wrong of course.  :pray

should be given one more year. Like someone has said on here each young player should be given 2-3 years before they are moved on.

Rance has shown that it can be turned around. 12 Months ago some of us, me included, would include Post and Rance in the same category of would not make it.

What do we do with the kid, Wilma? Should hang onto him next year and give him more games, IMO. Could click. Has too much talent to not get another crack

I thought he was really poor to be honest. Struggling atm Id trade him out but if no one takes him keep him on for another 12 months on the minimum salary as per AFL rules.

Right at the moment I reckon he fits into the category of too good for VFL but just short of AFL standard.

He's a very contested mark but his decision making in today's game is just where it needs to be to succeed in this comp. I haven't seen iny improvement in him since his first handful of games in 2009 to be honest. IMO he went backwards last year but right now he is where he was in 2009 and that's not enough (again just my opinion)

What I would do is this: we go to trade week and see if we can land a key back, if we do then we have to seriously look at moving him (could see GWS taking him for a 3rd rounder) or we keep him for another year of insurance but I dont' see him as a long termer
