One mark one kick no tackles last week Jim if he wants to get selected he needs to do more than that
I must watch different games to most he has been terrible the last 3 weeks
You must have watched a different game SB, he had a goal and three score assists and the sme number of possies as Fev, even tho his team mates went to Fev everytime no matter where he was or how many he had on him. But you are right, he was ordinary as were almost all his team mates. Hasn't been as good since Fev smashed him, but was good v Geelong and previously v Sts and Dogs, so good form ag the top three. As for Cloke having 16 pssies and whatever else your predicting..... if he does we will have won by 30 goals. he's not playing Frankston this week. After his indiscretion last week he deserves no favours but has got one. And it is not about tackles all the time it is about zoning and putting on inferred pressure. Clole wouldn't catch me if I had a metre on him.
Selecting three ruckmen is madness and leaves us a man down. We have basically run out of tall, mobile players, but I think keeping a settled side for most of the last 10 weeks and then making major changes in the last 2 weeks is asking for trouble.
Grigg but he couldn't get in the 25 last week when 3 guys had been suspended. Now after playing Frankston, who are substandard, he gets back in. I like him but if his form hasn't been up to it for the last 6 weeks, last weeks game was not much of a guide.
Yarran did nothing to get dropped and neither Gartlett nor Cloke have enough credits to waltz straight in after stuffing up.
Sorry Gerry, whatever you think of Grigga's merits, he's way ahead of Browne and Johnson at the minute. He's been getting the ball for the Ants for many weeks now, last week he was finally hitting targets apparently - the last piece of the puzzle as far as the MC was concerned. He's the man, I'm sure.
