And Black's best games this season have been against Sydney and Hawthorn, at least we know he can turn it on against the bestyou know its all well and good to have black and petrie doing really good stuff for the team, but at the end of the day both have had miserable seasons doing the thing they are paid for, and thats kicking goals.
Wood kicked 3 goals in his first game. Black kicked 0 in that same game.
That's kind of a random criticism.you know its all well and good to have black and petrie doing really good stuff for the team, but at the end of the day both have had miserable seasons doing the thing they are paid for, and thats kicking goals.

While his many adoring fans would have enjoyed his debut (it wasn't a bad one), he did look in No Man's Land a bit defensively a few times, and let's not forget his man kicked a couple too.There is room for both.
Will Wood be exposed going the other way?
Yes, those were his two best games of the season. Look, i am well aware that he has to play. But the decision not to play wood earlier this year was wrong. It would have given us a viable option heading into to finals to use. we all know what black is capable of, but really this year just wasnt his, and whilst we had a fit, in form option, he should have played. We now carry a forward line with a first year player, and two key forwards having their worst seasons in recent memory.And Black's best games this season have been against Sydney and Hawthorn, at least we know he can turn it on against the best

Mate I'm with you Wood should have been in team 11 weeks ago, confusing why he wasn't. But now I am not sure his second game should be a final, we can't be too inexperienced this week as it looks like Turner will play.Yes, those were his two best games of the season.

They'd be seriously keen to get at least one of them kicking some goals saturday or we will be fighting against ourselves as well as the bombers.
Correct. there are plenty other games black has performed abysmally that i should have added. i said it to juryduty. He will play. The decision not to play wood so we could at least have another option heading into finals was wrong. Now we have one option, and his year has been a disaster.That's kind of a random criticism.
edit: Me English not goody good.
edit: Well, it's not good that a forward isn't kicking goals but one game isn't the sample size we want to use to justify booting out a player.
Wood shouldnt play. It would be a mistake. we just have to will that forward line to produce something.Mate I'm with you Wood should have been in team 11 weeks ago, confusing why he wasn't.

Brad Scott just said in his press conference that Black does great stuff for the team that does not show up on the stats sheet. He is playing this week.
The question is will Wood join him?

Very hard to get a goal when up the ground so often, ever thought it is part of team strategy that we don't know about, his score assist this season has been impressive.

There's certainly room for both, just not yet for Wood - he would definitely be burned defensively against *. But next year giddy up!There is room for both.

yep and Black has a great opportunity to wipe this season clean and make it a meaningful not just from the clubs perspective but from his.Black is playing. Not maybe, might or won't! As much as a huge majority of us NM people and members don't think he has earned the privilege, he will line up END OF STORY
Black - no debate.
Amazingly the club will indeed keep Black in the seniors and drop Wood.
And so the potential crisis of your opinion differing to that of the selection committee or coaches is luckily averted. Phew.
