Bit of that, made position but got ignored, also was being used as a tagger on players like Tom Wilson....
To be fair to him he was playing with players who dont have much idea apart from a few and he got frustrated at the lack of skills
and smarts from his team-mates who couldnt get him the ball and in the end he couldnt be bothered knocking himself out.
One of those players who probably needs senior footy to improve and wont ever get much out of playing VFL.
I thought Ramsay used the ball well but is very lightly built and Kemp was solid down back...worst player was Parks who has really lost the plot since initially playing senior footy.

Gee EB it would be a toss-up between he and Willo, but at least Parks is just starting out. WTF has happened to Williamson is a mystery to me. O'Brien is finished as far as I am concerned,

Nothing happened to him. People just realised that their 'idea of Willo' was greater than the 'output of willo'.

I kept pointing it out, and people kept refusing to see it.

He's Paul Bower mark II.
Lots of ability, but makes too many mistakes at AFL level.

I fail to see what future O'Brien possibly has at the club.  He is beyond useless.

Ramsay aint big but he's got something.  Like Kemp,  Honey and Carroll.   Concerned that we're very light on for up and coming taller players. 
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

That's your opinion Krudd. No point harping on it as you won't change my mind just as I wont change yours.

Not a lot to come out of this one.   With 12 players out injured we really didn't have a lot.    No key defenders, key forwards, inside mids, ruck etc.   Left with kids, wingers and flankers.

O'Brien couldn't get any space.    Got crunched as soon as he got it.

Unlike everyone else, I have woken up to a truth that is uncomfortable for everyone to really understand about LOB and that cohort.  We are finally developing players based on individual need, and getting him to a level in the VFL is the best way forward for him.

In a horses for courses approach, he might find value for us in a future state where we need an outside runner to complement a midfield that contains Walsh, Stocker, Dow, SPS and LOB on the wings drifting between half forward/half back.


He isnt that bad a player but he needs to really polish up his outside ability if he isnt a mix of inside and outside.

Didn't they play LoB as a tagger on Wilson?

LoB isn't an inside mid, and Wilson is about as in and under as they get, maybe they are giving LoB some lessons but I doubt you can greatly change a player's fundamentals in that extreme way.
