Welcome to Essington.christ how does a guy who came on for maybe 10 minutes get a page and half of rinsing.
He had a real opp last night and could’ve been the difference post Caldwell subbing to help Ess win.christ how does a guy who came on for maybe 10 minutes get a page and half of rinsing.

This is where Scott takes too long to pull the trigger on the sub IMO. Like Hind got 5 minutes the other week. Players need >30 min to have a real impact IMO. For mine I would pull the sub lever early in the third.christ how does a guy who came on for maybe 10 minutes get a page and half of rinsing.

Someone ansked about Archie’s form during a Q and A at a sponsor’s event that I was at the week before last and these were actually Mark Harvey’s words.
Harvs said that Archie is “sitting on opposition midfielders because he is midfield fit”. He also mentioned that he may not be in form but that was useful to the team and he is a “big boy so can handle it”. He also mentioned that he thought Archie would go “back to being a pressure forward soon”. He didn’t seem too worried by Archie’s form slump although he is generally pretty positive (possibly too positive).
That was before the Melbourne game and he has been pretty average before and since.
So reading that, we are using him because we have no one else who is "midfield fit"? He's not in form but they don't have anyone else to do it.
Presumably the balance gets better when parish returns hence why it's only temporary.
He was injured for a bit.How is Hobbs not midfield fit...
He did say that Parish would have to win his spot back and would play in the reserves. It will be interesting to see if this happens. He should be good to go I think.So reading that, we are using him because we have no one else who is "midfield fit"? He's not in form but they don't have anyone else to do it.

Simple, get rid of Jake, he's doing nothing but keeping us mid tableHis best position is taken up by Stringer and Langford. And I don't know if he'll be as good as those two.
