MRJ had 9 touches and not a huge impact. He butchered a few of those 9 pretty badly too. Yes he harasses well but he Needs to be doing more for a senior gig in my opinion.
Why George was the same and was carried for two years

Small forwards shouldn't be getting single digit disposals in the VFL.

If Mini doesn't select Bauer to help his development, he is clearly putting his aspirations for the permanent coaching role ahead of what's better for the club. And fans.

This is my line in the sand moment and I'm not holding back.
Bauer couldn't perform any worse than Miller and Ryan did though so whats the harm? I don't see a downside.
 
Just on MRJ - kid is still 20
Made debut as an 18 year old late 2021 and last year developed fine IMO as a 19 year old.
This year did a significant hamstring strain and has had an interrupted year.

I have faith but does need significant development still, maybe in the middle in the VFL for a number of weeks to just get hold of the ball more and more.

His decision making will improve with time.

Miller actually played a good game as Minibus gave him a specific role. It’s not Miller’s fault it was a negative one, but it had to be done. Do you have any idea what that role was ?

Yes was to tag andrews did a pretty good job andrews wasn't as damaging

The issue was the midfield all played outside noone really going for a contested ground ball

Almost as if they were told before game to go easy

Ask Jack if Andrews wasn’t damaging? Amount of third man ups he got too. He didn’t take as many intercepts but still influenced a lot of contests by peeling of Miller

He played on Harris Andrews as I said he would pre match. All good and well to play a defensive role but you still need to get some the other way and he had 0 touches in the first half when the game was on the line and when we were desperate for a marking target.

Fortunately for him Ryan was probably worse, hence why I dropped him in my earlier post. Just means Miller will have to play 2nd ruck again.....and try have some sort of positive influence.
 
It was a bad night.

The same players have been pretty good for the month before. For the most part, we should back them in to redeem themselves. There will be two maybe three changes.

MRJ is struggling to get a kick at reserves level. There’s half a dozen that should be called up before him.

No, Graham has not been good. Pickett something is not right, i don't think he's had a good year, to be honest. Jack has been average but needs to play without Lynch. Macintosh 10 disposals another being gifted games at times. Banks could do that. Maccas advantage is he offers aerial height. Not sayign drop them all, but geez the youngsters coming in they are the scapegoats when we have a loss.

It's not all about kicks with MRJ as a team we are missing that pressure inside forward 50.

Half a dozen ahead of him? to play small forward, who?
 
Pickett and Graham were horrible. Some have said Cumberland yeah right new scapegoat, he at least presented, took 5 marks and kicked a goal. Needs to play.

Outs; If I had to pick one of them id say, Graham, Short (inj), Miller, or Ryan take your pick as cant have both with Jack.
Ins: Martin, Prestia (if fit), Bauer, Rioli Junior
* If Prestia is not fit, then Ralphsmith comes in thought he did ok, better than previous weeks.

Season is done now (if it wasn't already).

Need to try some new players:
Out: Short, Clarke, Young, HRS, Ryan

In: Biggie, Banks, Sonsie, whogivesashit, Brown

Guys like McIntosh and Graham need to keep playing to build up their trade values if they have any
Dusty to Gold Coast for 1st rounder and salary dump. Trade Graham and anyone over 26 of trade value.
 
fugn club sent me an email with a free will deal

and then asked me to leave everything to them
