Time for the Kid to have a spell and reality check

Rotate the youth

so what you are really saying is.

” Just don’t play him”

Loosley

He is lining up on the wrong wing.
Every time he receives a handball he needs to arc back onto his left as he has no right foot....it amazes we pay coaches to see this sh*t and they can’t

I've thought that too, but I'd give the coaches a bit more credit - I suspect it's intentional to get the wingers to more easily see and hit in-board passes.

Not Named in the VFL so he is getting Rested or has a Niggle

Hopefully he comes back via the VFL. Give him a chance to find some footy.

and Better Gameplan with better Coaches

definitely doesnt have a niggle, so maybe they are resting him.

That is the only reason is a Rest with him not playing VFL

I know its being a bit picky, but i agree with you Dave.
If he is being rested I would like us to have called it as 'managed" rather than omitted. Its only a small thing but sometimes messages mean alot.

 

[jonmacTrag]

I like the idea of not pushing a truly talented young prospect once you know he has 'IT'.

I wonder how many cases of first year Oesteo Pubis have been caused by youngsters 'overdoing it' in their draft year.

 

[rand corp]

Has been a standout recruit and really has already had a fantastic first season. Must be said, that he as looked a little ragged in last couple of games and a rest, or drop back in class won't hurt him at this stage.

Agreed looks just a tad burnt out.

You didn’t have him listed as training, Jen, so I took that to mean he may have an injury?

You’d think that even if he was being rested from the seniors he would be training in some form… right?

Can't tell unless you're there, but I get the impression that a Harvey tweak is to not have the wingers hold their spacing and position to the same degree as they did under Bucks - so less wide open uncontested ball for Poulter.

Fair point sr - one of the more charming aspects of advancing age is the worsening of arthritic problems making it impossible to get to games.

I was there TRS - Poulter trained

I’m no coach but it seemed like a terrible session
- I wasn’t sure about the point of the warm up activities
- match sim ordinary - skills were bad and missed so many easy targets by hand and foot

 

[Jen2310]

Oh, I didn't mention him from training? He was 100% training, gosh don't know how that slipped my mind. But he didn't train tuesday.

So just like during the Games?

I can't get to games either, so I'm guessing based on a slight shift in patterns.

His name is there when I look now, so I probably overlooked it or maybe just expected to see him in the white group and didn’t look as hard in the black. And I’m sure he would have been in the photos if I had scoured them. So please just ignore my ramblings, you do an amazing job for us all here.

No worries. It's totally understandable, since we're used to seeing him in the main team.

 

[frizzle]

WTF has happened to this kid? Looked the best of our young kids, but is giving absolutely nothing now. Time for a spell, even though he just had a week off.

Same as the Whole Team.

Hard for a Young Outside Player when we can't get the Footy
