Analysis The Temple of Acres

[Plugger35]

How much does this kid have to do to be named in our best 18 on the ground?

He showed today he is one of our best young players and prime movers along with Gresham.

He was named on our extended bench for this game while Lonie was named on the ground.

Is anyone going to tell me Lonie deserves to be a lock ahead of Acres? Something ain't right there.

Why does it matter if they both end up playing?

 

[Dard Ball Get]

Not being facetious, does it actually matter?

 

[Plugger35]

Well when the teams are announced for a Sunday game and Lonie is named on the field and Acres is named on a 7 man bench, questions need to be asked.

If you're a good player you deserve to be named on field, Acres deserves that, Lonie doesn't.

Lonie deserves to be dropped so why he isn't he named on the 7 man bench rather than Acres?

It's almost like they play completely different roles?

 

[bird_man]

Acres isn't a small forward. Simple as that.

Because when it's a Sunday game you have to name 7 on the bench. Maybe they were 1st & 2nd selected & were never in doubt of playing

Goat. Gun. Barrometer.

Acres can pick his position. If he wants full fwd, put him there. Ruck rover...he's there.

What's Lonie's role? To do f*** all or act like a tough man when someone else does something good and get pushed over?

Why the hell is Lonie a lock in our best 18 and Acres isn't? And why is Lonie in our f***ing team at all?

Have a cuppa and a nap mate.

Think he should be playing coach

He knows he is playing. Couldn't matter at less to be honest.

You're happy with Lonie's output?

You must be Mrs Lonie or Richo.

Just watching the game again, gee he covers the ground well

There is a saying in basketball, it doesn't matter which five start, it's which five finish the match that counts.

Happier with Lonies than your output

Silliest thread ever.

Just petty and irrelevant. Just a vehicle for you to bag a player.

Piss poor.

I've just finished reading all 79,894 of your posts, and I can confirm, this is among the worst. Are you happy with your output?

I am with the OP.
Look at Rd 1. Lonie got a game and Acres didnt. This is the kind of decision that meakes me completely doubt the coach's cognitive faculties and makes him lose credibility. I mean it isnt even a decision. There is no universe where Lonie should get selected ahead of Aces. They arent even in the same category. It is bizarre. Did Blake bang the coach's wife? I mean besides run around like Scrappy Doo - Lonie doesnt really do much.

So Lonie and Acres play the same position?

Its like saying Hickey shouldnt get a game when McKenzie isnt.

This isn't about Lonie (who I think should be dropped for Sinclair)

This is about Acres and Gresham who are two of our best youngsters.

I was on the Steven, Armitage and Geary train back when I first started posting here and look how they've come on.

I also backed Stanley who is now going great guns at Geelong.

I have a good track record at knowing who will be our gun youngsters.

Didn't Stanley get dropped for the cats this week or last?

Is this a joke?

Stanley was traded after being pretty average and now can't cement a game at Geelong.

Armitage was a top ten draft pick and lets be honest, he hasn't had a great AFL career, probably one really good season.

Do you honestly think anyone cares that Lonie is named in a forward pocket ahead of Acres? I'm sure he knows mid week if he is playing or not so the only people it affects are us punters wondering what the final 22 will be.

Horses for courses.

Stanley has been pretty good for the Cats, there's times we could have done with him.

I was one of the few people here that stuck by Geary here as well and the people that bagged him know who they are.
