Is this Casey vs Geelong thread or Wines vs Toumpas again

You tell me! Check comments made by morons before quoting me.

I'm not going to sit here and let the idiots above slag off a young lad trying to make his way in the world. When kids get drafted, they don't sign up for this [censored]. The wannabe Footy Ops Directors on this site won't let the bone go.

Yep agree and therin lies the problem. Would not play him until he starts to win his own ball. Not hard to get into space and pick up cheap possessions.

We are not yet at the stage where we can afford the luxury of an outside mid paced receiver. We won on the weekend because we had more goers than in previous games. We had more players that were prepared to work hard and win the hard ball and do the 1 percenters. Add the flair with Roosy's coaching moves and you had a very committed playing group that worked extremely hard.

Nup, Jimmy Toumpas needs to show a lot more to earn a call up in my book!

yep, but our poor culture of the last 10 years, has seen that we do allow these players to become one dimensional when they're young.

we have to demand they all learn to win the hard ball, when its their turn.

There should never be a time, when we allow our young players to be just receivers. without an ability to contest hard physically one on one. its not soccer we play.

If you watched the nationals you would have noticed how good Whitfield looked though, he was right to be pick 1.

Menzel was hands down the best player when fit.

I rated the players in order

Whitfield

Grundy

Menzel

Plowman

Toumpas

Viney

Wines

Plowman

O'Rourke

Plowman looks good. Pick 4 and pick 9????
