I think that aspect is now past history. Leadership has seen the very best of him emerge. He is one om my top 5 players in the comp if I could select a player outside of our team.I doubt he'd pass the character test here.
Does anyone have a logical explanation for what the selection committee are doing with regards to Narkle? Other than Narkle leaving, which still doesn't make sense not playing him, I just cannot for the life of me understand why he's getting snubbed consistently.
As for Holmes, he hasn't shown anything at the top level to warrant selection. Admittedly I'm pretty out of the loop these days, but unless he's absolutely killing it at VFL level, how can he possibly be selected ahead of Constable, let alone Narkle. I'm truly baffled.
No I'm not.Surely your taking the piss.
Tony Greene is an absolute a grader. Forget his actions, if he played in Melbourne his hype would be similar to Dustin Martin
Holmes will play 100+ more games then either of them. He is a rounded player while Constable and Narkle have bad limitations.Does anyone have a logical explanation for what the selection committee are doing with regards to Narkle?

Heaps. Doesn’t spread, doesn’t run defensively (like ever), doesn’t apply any pressure when onball or intensity and has no positional flexibility. Not to mention his endurance is one of the worst at the club meaning he’s good for about 65% game time.Does anyone have a logical explanation for what the selection committee are doing with regards to Narkle?

Gun clearance player and very very skilful but the match committee are clearly sick of him doing nothing about these issues game after game. He gets dropped every second week for a reason. He and Charlie Constable would have to be the most hyped up players since Jensen or David Ugrinic
Did anyone like Ugrinic he never played only about 12 VFL games lolHeaps.

*willGiants are absolutely decimated, we should spank them
Wot? On social media? Never!That happens a bit around here.
Now why would that be I wonder?games have continually gone ahead - professional sport has repeatedly been deemed essential by all levels of government
last lockdown we played Richmond at the MCG due to contractural obligations even though KP was free and more than capable of being able to cater to the crowd of 0
Can't agree, he is a gun.Greene is one of the most overrated players in the league.
Must admit I don't watch much of the non-victorian sides, but never even heard of Tony..Surely your taking the piss.

No I'm not.
Interesting changes. Hopefully clark has a real crack.
one of the rare times I have to vehemently disagree with you...the ONLY thing stopping being near the #1 MVP is injuries, imho.No I'm not.
Early in the year you’ve got to bank wins with your best team because if you get too far behind you can’t manage games and workloads in the back half. We have that luxury now. I expect this is the last week we will be managing players. Next week will be some big ins.Feeling nervous about the changes this week. I mean I've been keen to see Holmes given more of an opportunity in the seniors for a while, so happy to see him come in. But something about the timing of the changes doesn't quite feel right. Surely, with only 3 weeks left before finals, we would want to see a settled best 22 run out there and play themselves into some form. Resting and managing players this time of year for me is not a good sign for finals. Couldn't these fringe players like Zuth and Clark and Krueger have been given their opportunities earlier in the season? Feels like they're not really being given a genuine chance to cement a spot in the side right now, but are just there temporarily to allow others to "freshen up". I want to see real competition for spots, not player management coming into finals.
