I'd make Betts or Yarran the sub - Yaz, in particular, must be on his last chance to avoid being omitted.You got your wish, AFL reporting on Twitter no changes and Yarran the SUB

- Desperation equivalent to an Ethiopian food drop
- Ruthlessness
- Aggression at man and the footy (legal or otherwise)
- Low turnover rate
- High conversion rate
- Hard running
I will spew up!
That is all.

Nah, I don't remember too mant complaining about his errors in previous years. I remember people calling him the barometer of our team. A few suggested the captaincy. The final against WCE and his fine game on Fletcher the week before.I think I told this story at the time but I used to work across the road from Visy Park. We used to use their facilities for conferences and training sessions. Once when we used the facilities, we went down to the open area just next to the gym to do a group role play thing. On the way to the area, we walked passed a white board with every players name on it and next to the names all the "areas of improvement" for each player. I recall all Robbos items where all disposal related. The word "butcher" was amongst the adjectives listed. We are talking a few years back now, nothing has changed in my opinion.

Robbo for all his endeavours just makes too many errors, Ratts tolerated it, MM doesnt.Apart from Hendo and Touhy tell me who's actually improved?? If Robbo goe's so do I.Lucas is unlucky...didnt think he was too bad as the sub and contested better than some of his mates when he came on. I dont call that great selection work at all.
Robbo is one of Mick s whipping boys and I reckon is on shaky ground in terms of his future...
Go back to the old site and look at the voting for our final vs WCE in 2011. Robbo almost BOG, what a fall from grace in less than a season from a very good footballer to very average footballer. Mick's working his magic on the team.
Just on that, everyone says it's the players fault that they have no heart and don't work hard enough but what's the excuse for Robbo? Surely no one can doubt his work ethic? His heads obviously not in the right place and that goes for a shightload of our players ATM. Like I said a few days ago, there comes a time were there's just too many players underperforming for it to be the players fault.

Cant argue with thatLucas is unlucky...didnt think he was too bad as the sub and contested better than some of his mates when he came on. I dont call that great selection work at all.

Robbo has his problems but is he a worse option than Eddie?
Eddies efforts have been putrid, stick Robbo in the forward line, at least he'll get involved.

Unless of course he can go away at xmas and learn to effin kick.Looks like robbo is cooked. 2nd time dropped in a month.
He'll be on the trade table now
Yep, it's starting to look that way for sure. He'll probably be shopped around at least.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Marc Murphy launches a defence of his season and vows to break free of tags
Robert Harvey used to burn off taggers with pure gut running. Hard when you train once a week with a dodgy knee.I asked Braddles this very question at a function last year, he said:
"Run till your mans tongue is hanging out of this mouth, then run harder"
Braddles told me he used to run (ie train) 365 days of the year and still does. Thats dedication and thats how its done my friends.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Chris Yarran has gone backwards.
Here here WoodyThe behaviour was a result of an action, they wouldn't have made sub, or if they did communicate exactly why and what the expectation is. Whether that happened or not we don't know.It was wrong to make him sub, yes a mistake by Mick. Mick has frrkd this one up as much as many wont accept it.
You missed it. I will give you another chance.
Goat. How do you think the top clubs would have dealt with Yarrans behaviour?
What does this even mean? Can you re-write this in proper English. I could however take a guess and say that it is not the player's fault that he performed so poorly after being subbed. It is the Coach's fault. Correct?
If so..let's not drop anyone ever again for not meeting expectations. In fact, lets have the players pick the team..but then who do we blame if they do not perform?!
Seriously....as we say in Ireland..catch yourself on mate.
Yarran is an ADULT. Not a Boy.
He is professional adult paid via sponsorship and our Membership money to perform at his best and his coaches expectations - week in week out. If he does not put his body on the line and toe the company line then he can go and get stuffed. Talent is nothing without buy-in. We have too many Peacocks in this team already. He either steps up or he will be traded for someone who gives a crap.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Baby Blues vs. Frankston at Frankston on Sunday
We lost this game in the first half with what could only be described as woeful disposal and decision making... handed them goals, easy goals, silly goals.Good to see the two's playing exactly like the one's.
