Switta will have less cba’s this week. He will have to play Freddy’s spot.

Banners is just a a robotic medium tall who’s only strength is a checkside shot at goal. Shultz/Walters are heart and soul players but lack speed.

Onus is on Switta now. Sturt had to come in.

Should have gone Treacy over Banfield. IMO. The blokes gonna ask for a trade, you watch.

This is the thing and I want to make it clear. I don't hate Banfield the person or Banfield the selfish player - I just hate the ******* process that he's rewarded from.

Banfield has always been a professional checkbox ticker for the MC and is perennial validator to JLos' weak mindset and this gets him picked over an untried Sturt after clearly needing to be dropped the week before? Just tiring and safe predictable bullshit.

This x 100. You are looking at a player that was dropped due to poor form a week ago, but comes straight back in a week later without kicking a ball at peel. He has done a sum total of nothing to win his spot back.
Everyone said 2 weeks ago “you can’t bring Josh Treacy in after a poor performance getting dropped, where he didn’t produce a good performance at peel to prove he deserves to come back in”

But with Banfield it’s different rules.

JL said about Brodie this week:
“He’s got some things he needs to work on to get his best form back” or something along those lines.

Banfield comes straight back in without working on anything.

Maybe he did enough at training?

Who knows.

I'm baffled.

 

[King Huskii]

We have players like Sturt Erasmus and Johnson who could be electric

Why play plodders

Do you think Collingwood would be as good if they played both Daicos's in the 2nds. Imagine that

 

[mightymouse75]

Well I'm done with JL and bell.
Bailey banfeild and Matt tabener might be great blokes with terrific work ethics but they aren't youth and we all know what they are capable of.

Pathetic

Tabs work ethic isn't that great

 

[go_the_dockers]

**** me. How do we make a bland team blander.
In Banfield. Out Freddy.
Keep Henry in
Johnson, Sturt not in.

I assume we are going for 30 to 29 point win

It's a pretty simple question - is Bailey Banfield ever going to be a premiership forward?

Answer is just as simple: * no.

Rowan Jones was a premiership half forward flank.

 

[Sweetback]

Might be wet on Saturday. Banners is good in the wet

Actually scratch that. I dont kmow if that's true or not

Some of y'all should be ashamed the way you are speaking about Bailey. I agree Sturt should have played but its the match committee's decision, not Baileys. He gives his all every match he plays and turned down contracts from other clubs despite knowing he isn't guaranteed a b22 spot. I wonder how many of you are as selfless or loyal as he is. As long as a player wears our colour, don't abuse them behind your keyboard.

Now let's get back to the memes.

I would have said similar about Nathan Vardy

I’d have Brodie up fwd long before Banfield, if he’s got is A into G and he’s switched on, all of a sudden you have a few options if things aren’t going right in the middle…. worse case you get a similar output to Banfield.

WC may not have one the premiership without him.

Are you sure? Lol

What’s the injury for Frederick ? One week lay-off and return for Gold Coast

Eye injury apparently?

Nah boss seen a lot of vitriol against him personally.

Bailey doesn't need a white knight to save him.

 

[go_the_dockers]

Nah boss seen a lot of vitriol against him personally.

Most of the talk about him being boring, safe defensive choice.

Not against him personally
