not ready or not good enough? wtf is with our decision to recruit 172cm spuds with no tank

No way am I going to write off a 18 or 19 year old kid. 

[Bravo Oliver, Bravo 182]

Thank Christ for Harmes

hope no one wants to drop him!

He'll be fine next year and beyond, but at the moment he does one good tackle a game, misses plenty, gets pushed off the ball too easily and can barely kick over 35m. He's young, a good decision maker and will be fine in time.

Today we should have won and clinched a finals spot, but failed as we always do.   Changes must be ruthless.

In -              Melksham, Hibberd, Kent, Hannan,  Keilty, Wagner

Out  -           Hunt, Garlett, ANB, JKH, Pedersen, Spargo

the only good player who is that short was boomer Harvey. just don't see anything in spargo that suggests he will make it, I mean the kid hasn't even learnt a set shot routine!!

[titan_uranus 25,020]

Out: Hunt (drop even if injured), Pedersen, Spargo/Garlett

In: Hibberd, Melksham, Hannan/Kent

Assuming Hibberd and Melksham are both fit, the first two changes seem obvious to me. We need to drop one of Spargo/Garlett (leaning towards Spargo at the moment, not because Garlett was any better but because Garlett's upside exceeds Spargo's at this point) and I'd try whichever of Kent/Hannan the FD thinks is best-placed to make an impact.

If we want to drop a fourth I'd drop JKH, who's reached his AFL ceiling and it just isn't good enough. Bring in both Hannan and Kent. Leave the other of Spargo/Garlett in as we need a crumbing forward.

ANB was useless but we have to back in our core players, of which he is one, and put the onus on them to improve.

Did he poke his tongue at them on the way past.

Hogan kicked badly today but to say he should be dropped is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. 

Someone mentioned he is low on confidence??! He kicked 4.1 last week.

Hogan was pretty much worst on ground today

If he'd kicked the 2 sitters he missed, we win and play finals - massive let down from a bloke who is well overdue to deliver

Jeez . . . you don't like him do you GYM? This would be the same Hogan that finished with 19 disposals and 15 percent of our score I take it?

MacDonald, Spargo, Oliver, Tyson and Brayshaw all missed sitters.  

Well over due??? He is 22

19 disposals at 42% efficiency

(9 pts also not 15% btw)

If he could kick, we win and play finals
