I disagree Sripes.
My biggest concern with Post is his speed. Rance has never been lacking in this department.
I do agree that many of his mistakes are due to a lack of confidence, however if you're a slow KPP, you wanna be seriously skilled in other departments. Not sure if Posty has the tools. But i'm preferred to give him another year. Lets see how he goes this weekend.

If Rance can improve his kicking anyone can.
This time last year amny were willing to write Rance off. He has come on.
I think Post is a similar type of player. He deserves another year to see what he is worth.
His contested marking from kickouts on the weekend was great.

Yep a couple of good contested marks, granted

But the same old same old, poor & slow decision making, his opponent running off too easily...

I don't think we have a player

I took more positives than negatives out of his performance tbh. Thought he showed good reading of the play on several occassions. But was dissapointing he was allowing that first gamer to be so influential early on. Still small steps and he is very raw. Needs a big preseason, still looks like a raw ungainly colt out there

Look I know I am harsh on the kid but I think he deserves it.

He was drafted a year later than most of his peers and I have no doubt now that there was a reason and it sadly shows = far too many question marks, very few answers

this was his 3rd season and I don't think he has improved from his first season when he showed a lot of promise.... I wonder if he is a bit like Tucky in that he struggles we getting his head around  all the structures, team plays etc

DOnt' know but I think it again comes back to how long do you give someone

Would rather give Post another year than anyone like Hislop Jako Farmer.
At least Post has a dip and does some nice things.

Might survive the cull purely because of the amount of crap we have and the limited talent we can bring in.

I see Post being a slow version of Sam Fisher. Fills the whole and is a really reliable mark in packs and as 3rd man up. Saints go to either a McEvoy or Fisher every time from kickouts. Post could really help us improve that area with his marking ability on half back.
Go Tigers!

If Astbury steps up alone with Grimes he may be struggling for a place in the side next year. At present though, he is ahead of Astbury but we'll see after the preseason.

Not sure if Post ahead of Astbury. Post is a good mark. Needs to work on other aspects of his game. Won't delist him this year.

post wasnt slow at decision making, the team were slow at giving him options as most times he had nothing rEALLY to go to

But what aobut the time they did give him options, the times Lids and Houli ran for him and he just kept looking, eventually kicks it or handballs to a contest.

Couldn't be happier with Post lately. Dunno what anyones problem is in here. He's not as quick as Rance, but he's alot better in the air. I see him improving like Rance in 2012
