Howlett sub.

Agree with most of those except Giles and Gwilt. Thought he made some mistakes bit considering how many times balli came down he did ok.Also need him v Eagles.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

I'm playing Carlisle back so Gwilt out.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

I don't know on what possible planet you drop Stanton. One of the few who actually had a crack.

Out Bellchambers Ambrose Chapman Cooney
In Giles McKernan Watson Laverde

 

[Halftimehero]

MCKERNAN CAN'T COME IN, LETS MAKE THIS CLEAR BEFORE WE START!!!!

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

I thought that the case. How the club did not put Hocking or Myers on the LTI beggars belief.

Amateur hour. heck me dead.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

MCKERNAN CAN'T COME IN, LETS MAKE THIS CLEAR BEFORE WE START!!!!

Why can't he be elevated?

 

[Halftimehero]

Why can't he be elevated?

He can after round 11, unless someone goes on the LTI he cant be elevated.

 

[Ashton Agar]

Why can't he be elevated?

In place of who?

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Why can't he be elevated?

Licha is back playing VFL and off the LTI.

Hocking and Myers were never placed on the LTI. We've farked up again and limited our options.

 

[vaughany]

In: McKernan*, Laverde, Edwards, Langford, Jerrett
Out: Bellchambers, Cooney, Chapman, Ambrose, Gleeson

*pending LTI/rookie list issue clarified and sorted. Giles in otherwise.
-Watson, Fletch and Zaka not to be risked back after the bye.
-Gwilt was serviceable against Geelong he keeps his spot.
-Gleeson unlucky but didn't peform well enough tonight and can't see Howlett or Melksham dropping out with no Watson/Myers/Hocking/Zaka in.

Out Bellchambers Ambrose Chapman Cooney
In Giles McKernan Watson Laverde

When did he have a crack? Was it those few instances of play where he actually did something, which one kind of expects from a 200+ senior player on a regular basis? Or was it when he was jogging around aimlessly? Or when he was calling for the ball when he was out of position?

He adds nothing of value anymore. He has served this club well, no doubt, but what is it he provides that we can't afford to lose? He's not fast. He's not a good disposer of the ball. He's not good at setting up players. All he does is jog around, wave his arms around, lead straight at the backs of opponents or calls for the ball when he's in a worse position than the player with it. Enough with this bullshit, weak defence of "he wasn't our worst so you can't criticise him". He's an outside runner who doesn't run and carry and who can't hit a target. We can have someone else in that role who might actually offer us something useful.

He's done.

You need to place a player on the long term injury list to elevate a rookie. If a senior player is placed on the injury list I believe it has to be a min ~12 wk injury. I don't think the club thought winderlich would return this quick and in hindsight you'd place kommer instead.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

In place of who?

Farking anybody. Kommer. Steinberg. Pears. NOB. Anyone else who we don't need and who isn't going to play AFL.

We don't have a ruckman for our senior team. It's an emergency.

 

[Keystone agony]

When can Mckernan come in? is it round 11 or after round 11? Pretty sure its after isnt it.

Cant believe Dempsey isnt one of the first picked to go out?

You can't just name a player to the LTI list. They have to actually be, you know, injured.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

So presto, they're injured. Job done.

Give me a spell. He always presents as an option and he runs all day. We'd be worse off without him, don't worry about that.

Our players simply aren't running. He is one of the few that is.

Then none of those players can play either AFL or VFL for 8 weeks minimum.

Would be a shit thing to do to an uninjured player. They can't play footy for 8 weeks despite being fully fit.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Give me a spell. He always presents as an option and he runs all day. We'd be worse off without him, don't worry about that.

Our players simply aren't running. He is one of the few that is.

He presents an option? You mean when he puts his hands up 50 metres away from the bloke with the ball and at a 45 degree angle? Or when he puts his hands up with 2-3 opponents within 5 metres?

If we'd be so worse off, pray tell what is it we'd lose without him? Besides "run", which he barely provides, or "an option" which invariably doesn't come off.

 

[Whispering_Jack]

While there is understandably some anger and frustration on this board right now, putting an uninjured player on the LTI just to bring in McKernan for one week is just silly.

You're wrong

 

[ManWithNoName]

Oh well how can I argue with such a well reasoned and thought out rebuttal.
