What would you expect for Erasmus? Liam Henry showed a bit at AFL level as a top 10 pick and went for a future 2nd rounder. Erasmus has shown nothing so we're getting less, pick 40-50. That's nothing.

no idea, but he needs to be patient to become a permanent player
I don't feel like he has the same ego as Henry, but he might become just as frustrated
The Crows sub came on had something like 9 possessions and a goal in the final quarter and helped them win the game. I'm not expecting that, but for Erasmus to come on and have 2 possessions and 3 free kicks against is embarrassing.
Erasmus on Saturday played one of the worst games I've seen from a Fremantle player in the last decade. It was Zach Clarke/Tommy Sheridan/Cam Sutcliffe bad.
Go back to Peel and wait for an opening.
Yep that's the problem isn't it. No matter which way you slice it it doesn't work. Get him to do whatever it is that O'Meara was supposed to be doing. Or play him for Emmett up forward. Neither of them are exactly covering themselves in glory.
Or let him have a crack at Johnson's role.
Our bottom few players were very ordinary. Is Erasmus that one dimensional he can't play as a pressure forward with stints on the wing? There are plenty of ball-ups and boundary throw-ins inside 50 he can show his clearance skills.
Is Johnson the new Henry?
This board roasts Erasmus at will, but Johnson is untouchable?
Johnson had 11d, only 3 of which were kicks, one went out on the full for a total of 61m gained. That's over 4 quarters
The week before, Johnson got subbed out because he was poor
Yet Erasmus is copping it?!
Commonsense Erasmus is an inside mid, so playing as a sub and not as an inside mid is hardly a great decision by the club
Clubs development of Erasmus is the most dissapointing part

Yeah it’s weird the different treatment the 2 get. Is it re Fyfe talking Johnson up as the next big thing? They’ve both been similarly underwhelming to date, and yet one seems to get endless patience and the other none at all.

Agree with everything here except for the Henry bit. Johnson has at least shown me something I can be hopeful about. Henry is genuine dud.

Trade him while he still has that early pick aura to someone like Saints who need young talent
I just don’t see him getting much of a crack ay it . We’ve come to the pointy end of the rebuild and can’t afford to drop games testing out young guys
I don’t know , bloody hard one
He has a solid dig and is pretty tough just doesn’t seem to have a footy brain
Either him or Brodie needs to be moved on for their own careers sake . Not fair on them

Yep and it was about the same time we were under the pump for Vic players leaving. Was a knee jerk reaction.

Difference is Johnson has definitely got it , someone just needs to get in his head and light the fire
