What's this sorted by? Player ratings?

Avg player rating to account for games played.

has had a few good pressure acts . Weightman hasn’t had none Hmmm

****ing idiot!

Great to see Weightman and Mahony strutting their stuff on the big stage.

I give the 1st Q to Weightman.

on points just .

If you can’t run you can’t AFL today unfortunately . Only a complete moron cannot see that .

So who's knocking the door down to force him out?

Have we got a small forward averaging 10-15 possessions, 6-8 tackles, 2-4 score assists and 1-2 goals in the Magoo's?

I understand these numbers are slightly higher than Jack's, but it's what I'd expect from a challenger.

After watching the Ressies today, I'll answer my own question here....

Paul Curtis is showing enough of what we need. Not sure if it's Jack who needs to go out, but Paul needs to get a look in at a debut soon.

 

[Devil Fish]

Mahony obviously injured. The guts/grit he is showing has to inspire his teammates.
Up to 4 touches and counting.

Still have Weightman ahead.

 

[pooley]

Dear Jack,

Please spend some time in the VFL. When you kick 3+ goals in a game I shall reconsider you.

PS. Can someone tell me what our recruiters saw that I can't.

Short, average speed, <45metres kick.

 

[groo]

2s won't kill him.

 

[Devil Fish]

I’ll watch the replay later but from being at the ground, Weightman seemed to be the best small forward in the ground. Not sure if he tried as hard or chased as hard as Jack, but yeah.

 

[hilly]

Terrific VFL career ahead of him if he wants it but not enough strings at AFL level.

Cody Weightman eight touches and 0.1 from 58 inside 50s.

Unfortunately for Jack he needs to become a victim if this team is to go anywhere. The Atley and JMac days should be behind us. Mahony has no elite athletic talent and no elite footballing talent and we don’t have a role for him in our team. Take Turner with ya as well.

Has been down since I bought his badge. Same thing happened after I bought Lazaro’s last year. There’s something in that I reckon.

I’d say that’s debatable considering your attempted justification of Mahonys performance by quoting Weightman stats…

 

[hundini]

Didn’t have a good game (nor did the team nor most of the players). A reflection of the team not able to control possession for large chunks of the match.
Surprised he was swung into permanent defence role late, as he has never trained as a defender in 3 years. Hence the split hesitation with JHF that resulted in a turnover and goal

 

[the flying ham]

That was his worst game for the club IMO. Only young though. I think his injury opens the door for Curtis to have a run. He has played lots of senior footy so early in his career, a few games in the magoos might do wonders for his confidence and his touch. And for a little fella his touch needs to be supreme. Couple games in the scoobs IMO

well said; he's been solid playing his role, but yesterday was poor. Once he recovers, it will be interesting to see where they play him on the way back - if precedent is any guide, he might get a run on ball in the VFL. When Noble dropped Bailey last year, he was played in the centre square in the VFL (and was BOG along with Xerri in a side that lost by a hundred at Box Hill), as was Stephenson this year. The message for running players put out of the ones seems to be go and get some ball, so Mahony might be asked to do the same

 

[schimma_20]

The first time I saw him was in a intra club match I said at the time why in the hell would we draft a slow plodding small forward who looks about 40. Now when I see him playing I still say the same thing.

It's not punishing him for yesterday either - there is merit in sending him back to get his hands on it so that if and when he comes back he can have a bigger impact.

Safe to say he’s now out of form.
I need to stop backing blokes in to perform.

all day in vain and just have zero impact was painful.

Absolutely. We will not improve by getting players into the team that are unequivocally fringe players and then never questioning that place in the team. I personally think Curtis will come in and struggle to lose his spot - that will throw down the gauntlet to Mahoney, Turner and a few other players. Which is good for the team.

I'd love to see mahony either play on ball and get himself 30 at high % disposal or do exactly what Curtis has done, which has been get some clinical finishes around goal
