Team is fine on paper, need to bring the effort.

Enjoying a nice pub meal watching the footy after flying up late this afternoon.

Looking forward to firstly the VFL at Tramways oval then Bonts 250 . This and Canberra are great road trips

Is the writing on the wall for Garcia? What more does one have to do at VFL level to earn a spot?

Not even an emergency.

JJ has more runs on the board, granted, but he’s in the same unfortunate group as Adz where soft tissue injuries are a regularity.

Get a few games under his belt? He's had a long injury layoff and played 2 VFL games.
 
So Mccomb passed on the photos to Bramble… interesting!!!

Just got back from os and watched the replay last night.
I thought Bramble must have had a a shocker going by what was written on here ?

Literally never made a mistake and in fact was very good.
Don’t think his spot is in jeopardy.

Congrats Lachie, every club needs a whipping boy 😃

Good call. I thought the same when I watched the full replay. I waited for those horrible stuff-ups that he was supposed to have made. Nothing.

The conclusion has to be that when people have decided a player is shyte they stop believing the evidence of their eyes. They will see things that aren't there, blame him for anything that goes wrong in his vicinity and fail to see anything he does that is constructive.

Meanwhile, favourite sons often get latitude from the fans that is not afforded to fringe players.

It's a body of work argument.

Yep agree, Bramble has been good since being recruited. Sure he isn’t Dale Morris but he’s steady on bargain basement coin
He was excellent last year, this year not as good but still contributes.
I’m not sure what people expect really.

Absolutely my feeling aswell. Couldn't drop Bramble or McNeil off of thier games last week alone, they were both solid. Playing against the tigers is an extremely different prospect to finals though and it's when some pressure is applied that these guys crumble.

I wanted Bramble out for JJ this week purely for team balance (would've preferred Dolan stay in). Certainly nothing to lose sleep over though.

Case in point
VDM is the current photo owner

You mean over their career?

That's the problem. The point I'm making. Past games cloud current perceptions. Once a player has been labelled people don't see past the label.

We're paid up fans so we're entitled to be passionate, irrational and even illogical. But if we do that, let's not pretend at the same time that we are presenting a fair and accurate assessment of what's going on out there.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'd just be referring to this season. He's been poor.

Not even talking about the season. We were talking about Round 15 v Richmond.

Yes in relation to selection this week. I'm saying people putting his position in question are using a body of work argument, not the form from last game argument.
