If i see one more positive post about JR im going to cry
In all me years of watching football i have never seen a player have so little influence on a game then him. You all get excited when he lays a tackle or blocks up the space, takes 1 good mark and kick 1 goal out of his arse but you all forget that this guy is a top 10 pick. A TOP 10 PICK who has been given more game time than any other fringe player on our list and has showed the least amount of improvement. You all get a hard on when he does something good as if he was consistently dong it when you all fail to see how incompetent he is. I want him to succeed as much as anyone, infact i was a fan when we got him but enough is enough. when he's on the ground we're a man short and we're not good enough to be playing with 17 on the field. We have tried him everywhere
a stopping forward - no success
midfielder - no success
half back - no success
tagger - no success
and yet he still gets a game, he barely comes off for a rest. We dropped 5 players this week and he still made the team. IF JR is still in our best 22 or even best 25 we will never win a flag. time to move on and give someone else a go. If we gave Browne, ADNO, armfield, yarran and robinson the game time that JR has been given then we would finally see some development.
) was top class. His main issue is concentration IMO. If he can stay focused for the majority of a game, he can have a lot of influence. At the moment I still think his focus on the field wanes a lot more than it should.
