Maybe because he has done a knee.Staggered at the inclusions.
Not one player we have not seen before. Not counting Hartley.
Jones plays 1 good game is then omitted and can't get a game in this side.
Strange.
I agree now. I was bullish early in season, but its pretty obvious he doesn't have it. Moore though, hard as a cats head, runs all day and kicks goals. Im staggered he's been overlooked again.Morrison is vanilla , we’ve been persisting with him long enough. He doesn’t add anything good to this team.
Maybe Patton ahead of Lewis because Mitch has been beyond hopeless this year and plays like he does not give a sh*t.
I have said it before and will say it again he is delist material. I hope to god I am wrong, but that is my opinion.
Absolutely would of brought him in. Maybe in place of hanrahan who had a good run of games this year and was horribleI agree now.

Patton is a fat slow liability.
I think it is pretty worthwhile looking at Howe, Cousins and Hanrahan. Playing Finn now before he is ready probably doesn't do him much good. Playing guys we need to make a decision on at the end of the year gives us some good information we can use to manage the list. If Finn was performing he would be in the side by now.
Players on the list not to play a game this year after this week (assuming the changes are correct):
Finn Maginness
Matthew Walker
Jacob Koschitzke
Dylan Moore
Jackson Ross
Emerson Jeka (R)
Harry Pepper (R)
Damon Greaves (R)
Will Golds (R) - injured
This isn't a very long list. Only 5 senior listed players on it and Finn is one. Can't say we haven't given chances to young players on the list. I think Finn is the only senior listed player not to get a game and hasn't been injured for some of the season. I'd expect Moore to get a game at some point unless we already have made a decision on him. Maybe Finn will come in for a game in the next few weeks.
This is some straight bsIn 2018 Lewis took 1 week off then immediately hit the gym. Basically had two preseasons and worked hard all season during 2019 to get into the team. Didn’t drop his head when dropped and worked on deficiencies in his game to come back in the second half of the year. Those aren’t the actions of a player who doesn’t give a sh*t.
This year he didn’t have a preseason due to his shoulder injury. He returns but can’t crack the side because Patton is there. He doesn’t have the VFL to build form and confidence. He’s forced into three months off with minimal training then forced to leave home and enter hubs (this impacts players differently). He’s only brought in because Patton is injured. Our delivery to the forward is diabolical and don’t suit his natural gamestyle of leading. Fitness/confidence issues contribute to two horrible performances. He’s dropped but doesn’t even have proper practice games to prove himself. Due to scheduling issues he’s probably played a grand total of 3 practice games since being dropped.
Lewis isn’t a lazy player. He cares. I would say circumstances have significantly impacted him. I agree he’s been disappointing but claiming he’s delist material based on this season is a stretch. I’d want to see him next year with a full preseason and some confidence.
Geez Bumps you got four out of five outs correct so does that say the Mitchell will be playing with a bung shoulder after last week.Got some Intel that the west coast game has come up carnage.
Okay we know about Sicily.
Omera wrist
Mitchell shoulder again
Gunston back.
Add
Smith not expected back this week.
Things just went further south.
Yes, we should’ve sacrificed Finn, Moore, Walker and all of our kids to a 90pt mauling.Morrison out for Scully.
No Dylan Moore
We have been decimated by injuries but far out, we've never had a better opportunity to see what our kids are made of and Clarko pulls this crap.
Horrible.
Considering Clarko doesn't like to make changes, you'd have to have had a real nothing game, or have run to the wrong spots on the ground too many times, to be 'omitted' when there are 4 players out from injuries already.
Yes, we should’ve sacrificed Finn, Moore, Walker and all of our kids to a 90pt mauling.
Would’ve been a sound way of really giving some of these younger heads the belief that they can make it at the level.
/sarcasm
Patton needs a string of games to see if there’s anything left there. His upside is still very decent. If he doesn’t show anything by the end of the year, then it’s maybe the Vickory solution...
This is some straight bs
His efforts this year were awful
Lack of confidence shouldn't be an excuse for lack of effort
More KIDS!!!Drop more because lesson

Experience, strength in the contest and knowledge of the plan, that’s what they’ve got to give.Or alternatively they could learn something from coming up against an actual good side? As if all the players don't know where the side is at anyway. They'd know better than all of us given they're the ones that are copping the hidings out on the field each week. The club could surely use the rest of the season as a learning experience for our next generation.
What have the old boys got to give any more?
