I don't need to say anything... these stats speak for themselves. Westhoff is a first year player and kicked 34 goals from 16 games, Ablett is in his 3rd season + Geelong scored a lot more goals for the year / more opportunity... just as a comparison...
Anyone who says the team isn't carrying him in the hope he produces down the track is delusional. Hawkins will be breathing down his neck very, very soon... he'd better pull his thumb out in '08..
You've got a great point there, marty - I mean, just look at the massive amount of goals Hawkins kicked in the VFL this year.....

If you had any clue you would know I love getting reactions from people on here.
Back to the topic.... Nathan. Weakest link in our side?
You love getting reactions from people on here, have YOU got nothing better to do with your time?If you had any clue you would know I love getting reactions from people on here. Yourself as an example.
Seriously, who bothers to read through numerous posts from another member going back to the start of the season to find weaknesses in them? You honestly have nothing else better to do with your time?
He isn't, yes we do have high hopes for him but this is justified.Back to the topic.... Nathan. Weakest link in our side?

By the way... I'll bet all those were written within the first 5 rounds when everyone was having a crack at the side... I can't believe someone actually dedicated a good portion of their time trying to dig those out... pretty sad..

Agreed... Why do you need to get a reaction for? Does it make you feel good about yourself being an ass?
IIRC Kangaroos tagged Joel Corey in the QF.It is true that opposition do not rate either enough to tag.

You'll find that when I had a crack at Corey and Enright they were playing crap, which they were. It is true that opposition do not rate either enough to tag. Harley came back too early into the side when there were in form defenders ready to go, obviously because he was captain.. etc, etc. In the scheme of things N.Ablett has had the worst season in the team for a player that played the majority of games (excl Byrnes,Tenace).
Everyone avoids being critical of the players on here unless it is blatantly obvious, the reason I like seeing peoples reactions when I go against the grain. Otherwise everyone just gets on here and pats each other on the back... how boring...
For the record, as much as Joel Corey had a great season... as a stand alone player I found it hard seeing his AA selection over the likes of Hodge and Foley.
Theres no reason why we can't have both in the team, if both are in form.One thing I will say is that if he does want to continue playing AFL, he'd better pull his finger out as the Tomahawk will be breathing down his neck.
N Ablett is a work in progress. Given he didn't come through the TAC cup route - with all the professionalism that entails - he'll always be 40 odd games behind most of his contemporaries. I think the choice of him for the finals was good but it will be a more difficult choice next year (especially later in the year). I don't like the idea of playing 3 talls up forward, although that might be something you'd do against teams with weaker defences.
To his credit Nate does seem to be working hard: crashing packs, chasing, and so on, and he does a lot of one percenters that aren't reflected in his stats. Of interest is that this season he's actually done well in some of the games when he might not have been expected to. For instance he kicked 3 against Port in the loss, 3 against West Coast and 3 against the Bulldogs (in our round 1 loss). He also kicked 3 against the Kangas in the QF and 3 against Port in the GF. That is, his form against the final top 4 sides (plus the Dogs, then close to Flag favorites) tends to suggest he might be able to play a bit.
Look... I'm the first one that would love to see the boy succeed, I just think he needs a flogging over summer and to be less reliant on his confidence. He seems to be very much a confidence player, as shown in the GF after he kicked his first goal... to me he just hasn't shown the determination that will get him kicking 50+ goals.
What I want to see is a Reiwoldt type game for him... Lots of leads, lots of MARKS. Obviously he's way off as far as fitness is concerned. Mooney can then just sit in the square with Hawkins.
