Yep and for the most part moved so slowly to the ball and got crunch tackled by likes half his size.

Good first half and kicked a goal. Needs to take the next step next season. We'll have to get through the trade period to see what the club have in mind before talking about 2013 for a number of players though

As I posted on another thread

Yes terrific, just terrific

Only refused to chase and attack the contest about a 12 odd times yesterday, it was terrific

Good first half and kicked a goal. Needs to take the next step next season. We'll have to get through the trade period to see what the club have in mind before talking about 2013 for a number of players though

Yes his first 15 minutes was simply stunning, it was de ja vu of round 1 against the Blues when he pulled up to avoid a contest down in Port's FWD pocket, set the the tone for the day
sadly

Terrific, just terrific

Not sure how you can see he is better than Rance. Natural talent wise I'd probably agree with you but seriously that isn't enough.

Unfortunately for Post he lacks one key ingredient that Rance has in bucket loads of and that for a bloke of Post's size you need have plenty of and that's playing without fear. You need to be willing to crash packs, put yopur body on the line despite what you are about to cop.

Someone on here once posted about another player (Gus for memory) built like Tarzan playes like Jane - that's Post's biggest weakness. He should be crashing packs and attacking contest meaning he puts fear into the pip squeaks he's up against. Sadly he doesn't

As for next year it wouldn't be a surprise if he's runinng around for someone else

He is everything Hardwick wasn't as a player and I won't be in the least surprised to see him cut.  His biggest strength is supposedly his marking yet he drops more marks than he takes, he is soft as at the contest, he is lazy, and he panics.  In the Macquarie dictionary under "List Clogger" you will find the name "Post".

He had a good game.  Rance makes just as many mistakes as Post and just about everyone rates him.  Clearly favouritism at play here.

What Post does well is generates run and reads the play.  He is a big boy.  I don't believe he is scared.  He just needs confidence and that will come the more games he plays.  6 marks, 92% disposal efficiency, 13 possessions, 2 tackles, 1 goal.  Not bad for a developing back man.

If we want to complain about a big man not chasing enough, well Martin doesn't chase either.  There are a lot of soft players on our list who are afraid to tackle or too skinny to be effective.  I don't expect massive chases from a guy his size.

If he gets a big preseason and a bit of Maric into him, he could be a very good CHB.

Next year I wanna see more grunt in Post and more confidence with the ball. He's still only 22 and plenty to work with

Next year I don't want to see Post playing for Richmond.

If anyone actually thinks he offers more than Grimes/Rance/Chaplin/Griffiths then they are deluded. We are not developing players at Richmond in 2013, we are out to win and make an impact in finals FFS. Post, based off his performances, will not be a part of that nor will he take us there.

Maybe what all you 'pro-Post' people are saying is "I hope he stays on in 2013, and continues to develop his basic skills. I hope he can create some sort of aggression and poise at Coburg, so if several of our preferred options in the back line go down with injury/suspension, we have a replacement who can actually IMPACT a game when they are called upon."  ???  :whistle
