Horrible ins and outs. Why reward McDonough and Lennon when they arent playing anywhere near the appropriate level? Bizarre. Hampson only comes in out of necessity.
ur kidding me, surely u jest....They are 2 of 4-5 who have been our most consistent in the VFL.....
To many players in the seniors being gifted games ie: hunt, newy, and lambert hadnt played for like 10 weeks plays one good game in the VFL and straight in, his 2 games V swans and GWS = average, no goals too....
Reward the players who are playing well.....
Matt McDonough
18 disposals, 10 contested possessions, 7 tackles
Only played a half of footy and still had 18 touches. Impacted the game in crucial stoppages and played a high level of AFL footy. Another player pushing for senior selection.
Ben Lennon
25 disposals, 9 contested, 3 marks
Played his best game for us on the wing; this was his second or third week playing on the wing. He continues to improve in this area. He got up and down the ground well and used the ball as well as Benny does, we were extremely pleased with his performance.
Hardwick press conference; says, Hampson has earnt his spot wtf? correct me if im wrong but he hasn't played for about a month....We all know hampson is good for tap-outs but match fitness surely would be underdone, kruezer will run him ragged around the ground....Would rather Vickery in the ruck with Mcbean and Jack in the fwd line with the mids/smalls in support....
He did mention Mcbean or Astbury for a possible 2nd tall in but also said not sure whether we go tall or short.....Hoping we go small in McDonough need more class around the ball and in the fwd line...
