Fair point Ozzy. As I mentioned, tipping he ain't going anywhere. We better get used to him for next year. He just looks to lack that presence, hoping it can develope pretty quickly.

I was as frustrated as everyone else watching the Siera turnovers yesterday.. but I have to say that 5 games (most as the sub) is too early to call for his delisting. That said, absolutely must have a big pre-season and work on his skills.
It was like he'd only played 6 games or something.......oh wait.
It's a bit harsh to be so critical of a guy in his 6th game of AFL. I'd like to see how he goes in his next 15-20 games if he gets the chance.
But, this thread is about his selection in the team yesterday, so I'll put my 2 cents in about that.
Maybe he has the ability to play taller than his 187cm and would have been an option to take a tall if Spud or Keys got injured or were getting flogged.
I agree that he was a strange one to come in for Patch as they are very different players, but maybe we needed that extra defensive player. Hawthorn are a very attacking team and have a good group of hard working half forwards. Sierra probably has the better tank to go with them, so maybe that is why he was chosen.
Who knows, maybe our coaching staff actually know what they are doing. Crazy!!

Blasphemy.
You do know this is BigFooty where we make noise about coaching when we lose.

I have asked before, but when did the 's' jump the shark?
Did it go the way of Sammy Powers and Shannon Watts?
I always thought it left the club when David Hales left.

Delist. I thought the Siera experiment was over, shocked to see him picked for Adams.

If he is not delisted after yesterday, knowing we have younger players going into the position he could play, would be a massive surprise.
Surely we can't carry players that are just not close to being up to it. We need the fringe positions to be filled with upcoming talent. Preseasons don't fix a player's lack of ability.

Adams was sore mate, I am sure Scott didn't want to not play a key player in Patch.
Problem was he must have spun the "Nth selection wheel" to end up picking Seira, as he had far better options available.

I realise this, but was shocked to see Siera picked to replace him.

Ok JR, thought you meant Adams was dropped or something.
But yep, every Nth person other than Scott (the only person that counts sadly) agrees with you about the bold.
Didn't play that bad...if you want focus on crucial key moments of the game, there were significant errors by others that were more costly:
- Sam wrights misses in the last quarter
- Ziebells turn over resulting in a goal
- boomer choosing to pass where he could have kicked a goal
- wells poor defensive chase against Stratton
- hansens handball to roughhead
Having that said, he doesn't look like he belongs out there..

I'm not a dreamteamer or supercoacher, but would love to know what his DE etc was yesterday. I don't remember the howlers from him. I remember a couple of moments where he either completely dropped the mark or just didn't bloody go hard.
Some pretty harsh call on the bloke......that his first or second actual full game?

The last time a player copped this sort of criticism it was Levi Greenwood about three seasons back. At least he had ''presence''. Poor old Siera is the invisible man.

I only saw the game on TV but gee I didn't think he was that bad. His disposal didn't look that bad - maybe the stats will prove me wrong.
I didn't think his game overall was that bad but he's kind of a 'meh' player. That's not to say I don't want him to do well, I want all our players to do well.
