Yeah I agree Murray.
We should of played the Shaws standing on each others head as the ruckman/3rd forward, they have been playing better than Hall :rolleyes:.
Fanning didn't warrant selection either in his first game, and nor did Egan really (got dropped to 3rds for full game in mid and had an ok game back in 2nds), or Booch (in black and white after first game for willy seniors).

Although his profile sounds good, I'm not sure if he has the results to deserve a game. Tony Shaw said on the radio that he has watched Willi's last 4 or 5 games and he has struggled.
That is exactly my point

Hall hasn't shown much so I can see where the issue comes from but there aren't many alternative sand I suspect a motivation was along the lines if the game given to Crowe last year. Before we delist a player lets at least have a look at him in the seniors.

Whether it was a last resort or a last chance it was irrelevant to our chances, the outcome and our future. If you want to complain about something go to the AGM and ask why we draft these guys in the first place. If you actually look at his draft credentials they include the fact that he drove a long way to play and not much else unless you think his height is a plus for a bloke who doesn't seem to have a position and is small for a ruckman.
