In terms of "thrown to the wolves" Flynn Appleby on Jeremy Cameron (GWS) around 2018-2019 comes to mind. Happy to be corrected but that sticks in my memory for some reason.

Ok - so how are we going to decide Dean is NOT a delist option, unless we start testing him, on quality opponents.
It’s not going to happen when Frampton is back, so now is the perfect time.

And there’s no risk, when a switch to Moore, Bruzz or Howe is immediate.

Just not sure there's a need to throw him to the wolves right now. Let him get comfortable on lesser opponents for the time being

How often do key defenders play better on better opponents and worse on lesser opponents?

Not necessarily a specific match up (like the freak occurance of Frosty somehow being able to curtail Buddy when better Collingwood defenders couldn't) but consistently across multiple opponents

13 weeks until the grand final, that doesn't leave much time.
Only 8 rounds left counting this week.
I don't see it as throwing him to the wolves if he plays against Carlton.

It's not playing Carlton

It's putting him on Curnow
 
It’s good Orazio kicked goals in junk time so they pick him again this week
IQ or Maynard should have easy pickings there
 
Richmond once kicked 12 goals on Jack Frost against us
Every time we moved him off an opponent they’d kick it to his new opponent , he was that bad

Poor old Frosty. He was not a great defender but not the worst, but he was seriously the worst kick of a football I have ever seen. Watching him attempt to kick was like he was an Alien who had learned of this football thing from an image on a Voyager probe half smashed by a meteorite strike and thought it was some bizarre religious rite amongst the quirky species that sent it. Every motion looked like his brain was telling his body to **** off and come back when he was serious.

Nicks win percentage is crazy
 
Nicks win percentage is crazy

He has the highest win % of all current players. Followed by Jaspa Fletcher, Mitch Duncan, Darcy Wilmot, Noah Answerth and Jack Ginnivan

Interestingly his 71.76% doesn't even get him close to top 20. The 20thn highest is 78.57%

He’s also the reason he has the highest win %.

That cost us a flag.
Reid should not have played.
There were a few things that cost us that flag, and they began with Mick’s appearance on the Footy Show.
 
That seemed to be the moment the group fractured and we fell away that year. Devastating as we were so dominant up until then
And the truly tragic thing was that we all got to watch it unfold like a car crash live on TV. With a Geelong shit head interviewing him!
