I don't want to stick the boot in, but there is just noway he can play for the rest of 2017. Maybe next year with a big preseason but by god, against the Dogs and now against the Cats he has been worst on. Can't be doing that in high intensity games.

Back to the VFL.

Bring in Miles, and Menadue

10 conca fail
11 ellis fail

13 lennon fail
14 ellis fail
15 rioli
16 bolton.

we are widely regarded as the least successful club in the new millenium that is in no small part thanks to francis jackson.
It has taken an inordinate amount of time just to get to top 4 and we arent there yet.

Yeh and Hawks took Thorp at pick 6 who played 2 games. 1 pick infront of Joel Selwood.
You cant get them all right, but looking at that list its not really that bad.

JON - Real Bad
Reiwoldt - Massive win
Cotchin - Massive win
Vickery - Fail
Martin - Massive win
Conca - ****ed by injuries, cant hold that against Jackson
Elllis - Pass easily
Vlaustin - Pass
Lennon - Fail
C.Ellis - Not looking good, but not done
Rioli - Pass
Bolton - Looking good.

You never can nail everyone.

anything under 80% from 1st rounders is not good enough. keep in mind Vickery, Jon and conca were all top 8.

Delist, he doesn't have what it takes to play AFL, staggering that people still want this passenger in the side. He is so far off it.

Apart from obvious list cloggers in Morris, Elton and hunt, he is the worst player on our list. I'd argue that hunt gives more, this guy struggles to get dbl digit possessions

Fj is just middle of the road, not great but serviceable. Never forget the tigers rebuild came at the worst possible time and I honestly believe if tigers could have selected one of swallow, Bennell or day in 2010 plus a better second rounder as well as having access to the cream of 2011 Richmond would have won finals and made too 4 numerous times by now. The talent missed in those years hurts badly
 
Ellis has time on his side but needs to get his hands dirty fast. He does have some nice atttibutes and will get better. The kicking mantra behind the draft philosophy was incorrect and fj's love of the hybrid midfielder has left the list with some big deficiencies.
 
He's still young and an outside player but with efforts like today I have zero respect for him. He was an embarrassment to the jumper.

Enjoy the VFL Corey - it's where your career is headed.

Won't be back in 2017. You couldn't take Bambi into a final.

There are a number of players id take ahead of grigg on a wing and woukd prefer short ahead of houli with B.ellis and vlastuin off HB

Correct.

Menadue, markov, short, Miles. Conca if fit.

We DO have options. We don't need to keep playing the same players that let us down continually in high pressure games.

Markov was putrid in the games he has played this year. In no way in any universe would I play him ahead of Grigg while our season is alive. Nor short who has been terrible by foot. Menadue is handy but doesn't find it as much as Grigg. Miles wouldn't be a swap for Grigg. I'd swap him for CEllis though...
 
Outside flanker type with no grunt lol Casino. He's nothing more than a Houli / Grigg markII. his physique needs to get some muscle onto it otherwise he will be in the EDFL playing for his old club Keilor . Exposed badly today. Scott did his homework and out foxed DH again at the selelection table and in the box.
