Mullin is a classic Scott love child. He's not ready, but he has the potential and is a good athlete. Scott think that by playing him early when he's not yet ready it'll fast track him. Wear the damage caused by early ineptness because it will pay off down the line. He's done this for his entire tenure, with guys like Blicavs, Zuthrie and O'Conner being examples of it working out in the end. It certainly sucks in the early days and seems dubious when there are probably options in the VFL who can perform much better now.
I was pretty frustrated too but I think he was tagging Hill and did it well enough that he got subbed out.
 
St kilda are a different team at Marvel. Geelong has been beyond bad though. Henry shouldn't be seen back in the team this year - not only was he flogged but he also short stepped a number of times.

Knevitt, Mullin should be nowhere near this side. Bews should be playing if we need to lock down a small forward.

Like most losses, midfield was pulverised on the spread
 
Mullin ahead of bews is just plain wrong
His ceiling just isn't high enough to be wasting a player slot on him. Would be better off if we played Clark if we are going to do that.

But we absolutely can't have Rohan, OHenry, Mullin and Knevitt all in the same team because they just don't get enough of it.
Mullin and Knevitt shouldn't see the seniors until next year when they have managed to put together 5+ games of good football in the reserves.
I can't think of any other top 8 team gifting games to players who haven't earned it who continue in matches to just not make any impact.

So Mullin can get a game but Hardie, a natural mid who plays a position we have a void in can't get a game? Its not like Mullin is some ultra talented 18 year old.

OH BTW we havenā€™t beaten the Eagles yet šŸ‘‹
Considering our home form and our inability to turn up for matches against teams lower on the ladder, anyone who thinks that game is a sure thing is kidding themselves, especially if we gift matches to dead weight again.
 
Yes

I'm watching the players out on the ground, the frustrations and emotions on displaying - no doubt they wanted to win tonight, but it hasn't happened

No doubt the second half has been shit but it doesn't suddenly mean they they don't care or want it
True šŸ˜æ
Still weā€™re supposed to be the better team + we failed šŸ’”
 
Well they are not playing like it.

Out numbered and outworked at every contest all around the ground.

Lazy bullshit.

No disputing it hasn't been a good second half

I'm not going to buy into the BS though that they don't care

I dont know what else you can call that 3rd qtr really. The defensive pressure of the 1st half just disappeared.
