Does it not trouble you that far more senior players make the same mistakes? Deciding Jacobs is worse and deserves the heat just allows much more experienced players a chop out.
I don't think any of our senior players * up with the same regularity, impact or consistency as Jacobs. Happy for you to tell me which senior players you are referring to though.
People want a scapegoat after three 10 goal losses in nine weeks, not after one game. And scapegoat is just an exaggerated way of saying some of the guys who get picked every week should feel the heat a little bit more.
The view that "everyone wanted Ayden Kennedy in, thus arguing guys in the VFL should be promoted is not valid" is just a s**t one. I'm sure you can debate a bit better than with crap like that.
The view is people seem to get very wound up over things like Ayden Kennedy when the reality seems to be he wasn't up to it and that is why he wasn't selected. I don't think Scott is playing favourites, I think he is not promoting guys who are in his mind not ready for whatever reason. And I can't think of anyone who has been performing not getting their chance over the last few years - even if it comes a bit later than the masses on here want.
For starters I don't understand how Atley has kept his spot for two months. Given we're pretty much playing him as a sub anyway, I don't see why DUmont couldn't come in and try to help address our stoppage issues. Daw is doing everything asked of him but I think Waite and Brown has been quite good, and Drew will have a spot under Scott until the day he retires.
So that is it? Atley is the big statement? I would be ok with that change, but don't think it will have the impact on the playing group you want.
I'm confused about what you're inferring - are you saying that because Warren didn't look up to it we shouldn't promote VFL players? Or are you confusing me saying I'd be for someone like Warren to get a promotion based on team things (as opposed to needing 40 a week) with me suggesting I specifically want Max Warren in the seniors?
I am saying Warren was promoted with average/good VFL form, was less than average in the seniors and Scott was criticised for the selection.
