We can't get him to chase an opponent when he is a defender....what hope do we have if he is a mid?!

Wing/HF for mine.

No he doesn't deserve an extended run.   He made critical errors that cost goals, we can't carry blokes like that.  He can learn in the twos,  and if he shows sustained form he can come in but given last nights showing Cottrell or Carroll can play wing,  and quite frankly are probably going to have more impact and c$@'! Up less.  We need to win games,  the seniors is no longer about  gifting development games to kids. 

I think the time has come with SPS and biting the bullet.....move him out of defence!

Put SPS further up the ground and let him kick at goal, not 2m in front of mids in the centre of the ground.

3 changes I reckon. 
Out:  LOB, SPS and Jack 
In: Williams, Martin and Oscar. If Martin is not ready I would play Stocker.

I would give Dow another week. He preseason form was promising and needs to be given every chance to prove he can play at this level. Lob made some howling errors that cost us so even though it was a tough game to promote him in he should be dropped imo.
Can’t possibly continue to gift SPS games anymore. Stuff him. Needs a massive rocket this bloke. He either pulls his finger out and gives 100% defensively or he can play 2s and go back to riding bulls in WA next year cause doubt anyone will want him.

Massive massive game this one. No excuses if we are going to make the move we all said we should be this is a must win game.

He has great endurance and has a weapon of a left foot but doesn't use either enough. He needs it drummed into him to take the game on and use those weapons at every opportunity. He needs game after game in the top flight league to learn how to use them. Go for broke, play him every week and get the confidence up and he could flourish. Just my opinion.

So as i thought, play him for playing hims sake, rather than earning it.

Look, i get that you need to do that from time to time, but i think we are just about at the point where we need to play players who deserve it and force players to knock the door down.

On what I've seen tonight, we should have Collingwood's measure.

Mate its round 1 and there have been no reserves games to gauge form, just PS games and training. He must have earnt a spot ahead of others based on pre season training standards and attributes he has that they want to use/exploit. All Im saying is give him a decent run at it then at some point, if he has cut the mustard, see ya later. He was great last night but shows glimpses of what he has. If its in one a row form that's the benchmark? Fine cut him loose.
