For a big player his is soft - needs to muscle up and start impacting packs and denting opposition. Cannot remember the last time he went in hard or got hurt putting his body on the line

Bingo

so he has to be coached better
maybe he doesnt take instructions well.

personally one more year and for godsakes
over summer grow some balls and play the game
like you mean it and go in HARD.

soft man

I'm going to be very interested in how all of our talls fit into the side. The off-season is going to be very interesting (to say the least) particularly if we get any additional tall defenders or forwards to add to the mix 

Assuming we don't secure any free agents over the summer (highly unlikely imo) we would still have an abundance of tall defenders all sitting around the same ability level. Rance and Grimes would at this stage be awarded the first two positions but then there is Griffiths, Post, Astbury, McGuane and even a couple of rookies. Like many here, I like the idea of Griffiths goinf forward as our CHF with Vickery and Riewoldt roaming the F50. This would leave Post and Astbury taking the 3rd tall defensive position.

Now if we get Chaplin he will take the third tall position meaning Post will be pushed out of the side and made a depth player. With Grimes seemingly injury prone, I would guess he would get a fair amount of games time regardless.

We'll all just have to wait and se what the off season brings now....

Don't talk about Riewoldt like that.

Wrong. Hardwick simply doesn't rate him. Neither do a lot of others clearly.

Anyone who thinks Post is of any value to our side, watch the 1st quarter against Fremantle. The amount of times in that quarter alone he sold other players into trouble because he shi  t his pants as he was under pressure, then when that player (Rance on most occasions) tried to run to draw the pressure from Post, Post was stationery/observing so when he then received the ball back, he mis-passed and turned it over or on the other occasion couldn't hit the target and it went out because he thought he didn't need to get involved passed the point of dishing off in the first instance.

He is useless, and what is the good in him being able to take a solid mark, when he gets up to kick the ball he just turns it over or kicks to the worst option available to him??  Regardless of all this arguing on whether or not he will make it and whether or not he needs more time, I'm pretty certain the club has him gone at the end of year anyway based on everything he has shown us at AFL level to date.

What a stupid thing to say lol. There was 1 handball which didn't hit the target otherwise it was a very good game. Where the hell you imagine these other turnovers? You on drugs or something? 1 simple handball obviously showing lack of confidence of a young bloke who has played 30 games but spread evenly over 4 seasons. Surely you don't think he lacks the skill to handball 5m under no pressure? Composure comes into pressured situations only. This guy is just trying to fit in at afl level and is a bit nervous when he has the ball under no pressure and he prefers to give it off at this point. Kicking off 1 step is also a sign of these nerves. More games will fix this. As for everything else Post has the size, skill, mark, spoil and jumping ability to be a top defender. The club should be pumping games into him to get to 50 games nice and quickly. How does all this pass over so many heads? Unbelievable

Thought Posty was pretty decent on the weekend. Definitely keeps his spot down back.
With Griff out, I'd play Maguantanamo down back and bring in Toddy Elton (regardless of form) to play forward. Just get some games into the kid now.

[Penelope]

please no Mcguane down back......Pleaaaaase.

[Willy]

I know, Al. I know. But who else we got?
Actually maybe Batch comes back in.

[Penelope]

yeah, Batch to come back.
