I reckon Thornton can count himslef very lucky to be playing
Ditto Russell
Browne and Armfield are lucky as well based on their past fortnight
Once again in a meaningless contest for us we have gone conservative
These games should be an opportunity for someone to be given a go
Another pissweak selection flower from our MC
Don't mind Browne & Armfield staying in, they need to the experience. I just hope they get the game time.
I do wonder why some of Anderson, Blackwell, Joseph, Pfieffer, Austin, Jacobs, Aisake, Hadley, Jackson haven't been given a run.
We have only won 3 out of our past 8 games and were thrashed last week. Surely before the end of the year we need to look at other players.
For me Thornton, Russell, Fisher are unbelievably lucky.
People need to get over Aisake. He won't be getting a game this year (if at all). I doubt he's ever even been seriously discussed at Match Committee, given his apparent struggles in the VFL/VFL Reserves. He's certainly not going to play as long as Cloke, Kreuzer and Hampson are in the one team, as you can't go in with 4 talls like that. Cloke isn't going to be dropped. Sometimes you just need to accept reality. This way you won't be disappointed when reality strikes again. You don't have to like it, but there's nothing anyone on here can do about it. Just move on.
cj, of the players you mentioned, and going from the VFL reports, the only player on that list who could justifiably call himself unlucky not to be playing is Blackwell. Hadley would probably be playing if he wasn't recovering from injuries which have killed his season. Austin and Anderson have had a taste, there is more to come from them, no rush. Jacobs and Joseph are rookies, which I think you well-know, so they couldn't be playing even if we wanted them to be playing. Jackson and Pfieffer aren't playing well enough to be picked. Aisake I discussed above.
We have had a pretty good season, remembering from where we have come, without most of the players you mentioned above playing. We must have been doing something right.
I don't think we should agree with whatever the MC are doing with Aisake. There's been good reason why ppl have suggested giving him a go...and will continue to do so. Call it something to do with accountability or call it exposure of a weakness in our development dept with Lappin and Teague (refer to the Aisake thread in Talking Players).
I too want to see Aisake in the ones. Lets see what he's got.
I know you are right that we may be flogging a dead horse. The point is whilst I am flogging a dead horse, I will continue to flog our off field failings and failures too, and the disappointment they bring to the table.
