Noticed I only said 3 tall defenders there...

That  roundabout way of saying you think Jamison should be out?

I think that is unfair...90% of the team put in all day. They came out hard after half time, and fought right to the very end in Junk time, where Malthouse teams would have been blown out by 100+

It was hard work turning the ball over at half forward every time and getting smashed at the stoppages. Effort and competitiveness was there, class was not and it didnt help that our "midfield" leaders didnt want to crack in and were fumbly.

Spot on mate. How can we progress when these blokes pick and choose? They are supposed to set an example. Murphy has been nowhere near as bad as Gibbs but he has to stop throwing himself on the deck looking for cheap frees when the pressure comes. That is not leadership.
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

I get the idea that Bolton has a rather different philosophy regarding selection and that players who put in a barry crocker will not automatically be dropped.

i.e. Phillips.

In a game we got monstored, I don't believe he is an automatic exclusion from our team.  It will teach him nothing.  The bloke actually tried, we were just fairly beaten.  There is nothing wrong with that provided that there is some learning to do.

The fact the bloke was happy to be accountable and follow his opponent as they drifted forward speaks for why that might be the case.

Sure, he still might miss this match but I reckon things might work a little differently to what we are expecting.

I doubt this will be a thing.

I missed a word so it might have a bit more meaning

May pay to go back and edit as without the word it means the exact opposite!

Now I agree! :D

At AFL level you need players who have a trick, and success is all about developing players deficiencies so they can stay in the game/contest long enough to use their trick. We've lacked so much player development for years that most of our blokes never got to show their tricks.

Done mate.

I just forked it up yesterday and didnt see my mistake until IOT had responded.

Lets hope its this way anyway.  There is nothing to gain for players to go up and down regardless of the effort they put in just because they had an ineffective match.

White for one will not be dropped - unless he's injured.

He's shown as injured and out for 2 weeks on our last published injury list (5/4).

Yep Walker probably another two with a calf tear showing on the scans, SOSOS out for another three weeks with a Grade 1 hammy, and Armfield another week away at least.

Not sure about any others.

I reckon I've got more chance of being selected at CHB than Liam Jones has  :D
