Credit where it's due, he was actually solid in a couple of contests and showed some grit.

Agree he was good against Collingwood.
Playing HB pushing up to the wing.
Showed some grit, and become a stoppage option with a few clearances.
Exactly what you want in a good attacking HB.

Was it just me or did Chayce look a hell of a lot freer on the weekend?
Like a kid just out there hunting the pill

Hopefully he gets his belief back and confidence gets enough of the pill he starts to think theses guys can start to worry about me
Yep saw that and loved it, think he actually has a strong body for his size, want to see more of it

the club has completely fked this kids development so far..
tried to box him in and make him into a type of player that he’s not.. instead of letting him play his natural game..
needs to be allowed to simply hunt the ball and play his natural game..
all the clowns running the show have tried to do is make him a defensive type player.. even when they played him in the midfield in his first two seasons.. they tried to turn him into a tagger/lockdown type midfielder..
just dumb****ery at its finest.
this kid plays his best footy when he just attacks the contest and plays his natural game..

Looked better forward off the ball. Less scared to make a mistake up the ground than down back.
he looks absolutely petrified to dispose of the footy. it's like they have given him a 1-2-3 rule or a flowchart like "if there's a player with >5% better DE within 5 metres, handball - if there isn't look for a player with equal or better DE within 20 metres, kick - if neither are available run for 5 metres and get tackled" or some sh*t... looks very clearly to be over-coached to me.
I don't always buy the "crobot" type commentary but it seems to really fit here. He should be a line breaker that players are scared to get in front of... reminds me a lot of Marty Mattner at times.

Not best 22 in any side in the league. Only getting games here because he was a pick 9 and like his draft mate is only being played through AFC sheer bloody mindedness.
Some posters try and talk up what he does as improving, he does stuff all, he's four full seasons in - he's not best 22 now or going forward.
He's a bust, another bust, grrrrr

After a very good game… a decent first quarter and then nothing at all. Completely nothing.

I don't mind giving him some more games because he shows glimpses. Might still be the type of guy to flourish under a new coach or new system, but time is running out

I would have his magnet on the board before smith, doedee and keays’s magnets.

I put ALL those magnets in the bin yesterday, after seeing what the Swans have accumulated in a short space of time.
Before anyone goes the simpleton academy defence, have a look at where they drafted a heap of their players, 30s/40s/50s/rookies. Every one of them is skilled and tough.
Over to you Justin and Hamish, you need to get a lot right this off season. Be creative please, we need to strike now!

Really? Means that magnet hangs around for an extra 8, 3 and 3 years respectively, definitely a negative.
Angus sheldrick last year with their first round pick was a bit of a head scratcher
Could be our system and ability to develop players as well. Who knows. Probably a bit of both. Definitely need it to start going right, otherwise we are in for a long stretch of pain if it hasnt been long enough already.

I would rather we give North our 22/23 first and second picks for JHF.
He is better than any of the players Hamish will draft.

I didnt say that I approved of what Jones is providing at the moment..
Just that I think its slightly better than what Smith, doedee and Keays are providing..
Thats why jones’s magnet would be on the board before those other lads..
Idealy I wouldnt have to pick any of them!..
It is a roundabout way of pointing out that our bigger problems at the moment are the form and output of our more senior players.
Our focus should be on the shite our senior guys like keays, smith, ROB and doedee are providing.. more often than not this year its been utterly atrocious what these lads have dished up.
These are the guys that should be setting the elite standard.
These are the guys that should be tidying up after the mistakes made by the youth on the field.
These are the blokes that should be taking on more of the workload and pressure to help take some off the youth around them, which obviously enables the younger lads to develop a bit easier.
But instead.. they are dishing up shit and making the transition to the top level for the youngsters even harder!. Quite often its actually seemed like our youth are the ones having to carry the load and clean up after the seniors.
Jones, and our other under/around 50 gamers, should be the last players we point our fingers at given the shite some of our seniors have been providing..
There's something there. The club is more culpable than the player IMO.
We did find out yesterday that he isn't a forward.

Im just hoping it was one of those games where it was stuck on the opposite wing. He seemed to get involved when a switch was made.
Who knows, hes struggled to find outside footy but has been thrown around in that many spots, hes prob just trying to figure out how to play the position in the AFL.
Dont know why we didnt persist with him at HB or BP. He played some good games there. Now he has to learn wing from scratch.
