Might just be about getting his hands on the footy. Half forward can be a tough place to play when you are out of form

Can someone please explain what the **** Mead's role is and why its so insanely important in a side getting belted all the time?
You know what will happen.

Theyve gone straight to what they did with Farrell and its taken less than half a season.
Ridiculous. What it highlights is incredibly poor recruiting. From a few minutes of video it was clear the type of player he is, we're seeing that, but for some reason they thought he was something else.
Ive said it a million times, hes a Amon/Farrell player. No surprise at all theyve gone down that same path. Though I dont understand why they dont move him to a wing and see what he can do from there, thats a position of need more than half back.

Have you tried watching him from behind the goals?
Any option is better than Lord.

Don’t know how Mead can hold his spot when Evans and bloody Atkins play better than him.
5 touches vs Fremantle
20 touches vs Geelong
11 touches vs Adelaide
7 touches vs Bulldogs
14 touches vs North
15 touches vs Swans
14 touches vs Hawks
16 touches vs Saints
14 touches vs Bombers
30 touches vs Tigers
16 touches vs Collingwood
Tell me how that warrants a spot in the team over players including Will Lorenz, Logan Evans, Hugh Jackson or Josh Lai?
I understand we have to drop players to bring back Kane Farrell, Josh Sinn back in but there’s other players who don’t deserve a spot in my local club’s A grade lineup so instead of dropping Logan Evans and Rory Atkins after they both played their best games for the season drop Ryan Burton, Jackson Mead, Ollie Lord and give Christian Moraes an opportunity to go back to SANFL level and rack up the disposals and that gives him some confidence back. I know people won’t like Esava moving forward but I would give him a shot in that role since last year he played alongside Charlie Dixon so the opportunity to be the big bodied key forward might work and he’s probably the next best option we have other than Mitch Georgiades and the occasional appearance of Jeremy Finlayson. Like some of you have already said any opinion at the moment is better than Ollie Lord who just has no confidence and probably should’ve been dropped after the showdown. I’m going to say it thank f**k we won’t drop Hugh Jackson after his first game as the sub. Pretty much we have two options. Win on Saturday night we’re 5-7 and the club will think that could be doable to make a push for finals because we have Melbourne, Sydney, Carlton at home after this giants game and we’ll be getting Jack Lukosius and Jason Horne-Francis back through that three week block at home so knowing this club if we win then the club will think we can still make finals (No chance in hell that’s happening) but if we lose then 4-8 is probably too difficult to make a push and with our shithouse percentage we’re essentially an extra game outside the top eight so this could be it and in a couple of weeks there will be an new protest to sack Carr and actually look outside the four walls but hopefully this could be it huh

Rain, if it ever happens here, is always later than forecast, it's far more likely to be Sunday. It has been cold though (-3 this morning). It's likely to be dewy though, so the chaos handball game could be at risk. Would expect temp at bounce to be around 5 (but yeah, we can't possibly play in Hobart unless your stadium has a roof...)
Hogan/Cadman/Riccardi/Brown probably commands 3 bigs down back so expect Esava goes to one of them.
Forward setup maybe we go small given the expected conditions?
Either way we’ll f**k around at half back with handballs and the bomb it to the pockets when we eventually go forward….
GWS 30+ is lock of the round.

What does Mead have over Ken? The amount of golden passes he has received is baffling.
I sure hope Mackinlay or Liddy tear it up this week and hopefully Mead gets omitted.

The failure of that move last year hasn't scared you off?

Structurally the team looked way better with Esava forward last year. The move coincided with the teams return to form (prior to finals capitulation)

It's almost like they aren't judging his performance solely on his number of possessions.Don’t know how Mead can hold his spot when Evans and bloody Atkins play better than him.
