Hah, 10 day break after 50% game time.We've got a tough run of games coming up in a few weeks. Obviously saving him for them.
But he can play shithouse in a few different positions.I just wouldn’t mind seeing him get a fair run at it; if he had a fair run at it and was shown up then so be it. But for mine he seems to have performed pretty well whenever given a chance to play in his favoured position. And then i look at someone like ZGuth who just gets opportunity after opportunity when we’ve already got too many defenders in the side as it is.

I know we don't really have full control over when to activate the sub, but if we don't need to activate it in the first half and it's in the second half when we activate it then feels like that's when we'd get best impact from ConstableGuthrie is positionally flexible and can run out games better. While CC is the better player he isnt better in those 2 areas and the way the game is played now thats an issue. That said if CC is the sub today i wouldnt be upset.
your point is completely irrelevant to what was being discussed. Also probably wrong as well.Yeah, all we need is professional AFL defensive systems to go in the bin and Chook could be a Brownlow medallist. Do you want to email the coaches?
Who cares If you can run out games if you can’t do anything at any point in the game. It’s a waste of legs.Guthrie is positionally flexible and can run out games better.

Would have thought that when we were getting hammered in the final quarter a few clearances our way night have helped. Either losing a rotation and losing clearances was a strategic decision, or the problem he himself admitted to having a year or so ago still affects him.Who cares If you can run out games if you can’t do anything at any point in the game.

plus we have zero evidence constable can’t run out games. Putting him on the bench is not proof of that. once again we played well when he was on the ground in the centre and distribtuing the ball out and when they put the tag on and gave him less game time we nearly lost the match.
What he did was good, it's what he didn't do that was badThe coach give him a rap after the game last week and still dropped him
What's all that got to do with the price of fishThe coach is not being honest in the media. Do we really want the honest assessments being done in the media!
Charlie is not the difference in this team, and the reason why no other club wanted him when he was free. Fogarty is looking ok, but does not hurt enough.
WCE are looking like stars, as Allen is looking like a jet, and then got Kelly for less than we got Cameron.
What possible motivation would the coaching staff have for benching a player who was playing well other than because he didn't have the legs to run out the game? They have all the numbers in the box in terms of ground coverage, average speed, etc and that plays into how they manage rotations. They knew he was fading. Not to mention he hardly got near it in the second half even when he was on the ground.plus we have zero evidence constable can’t run out games.

What motivation would a club have for keeping a player, let alone playing him, who can't run out a game? He isn't that good, so its like having a barely handy player and then divide that by half.What possible motivation would the coaching staff have for benching a player who was playing well other than because he didn't have the legs to run out the game?

When we drafted him he was a top 15 prospect as an inside midfielder with footy smarts, decent disposal, and ball-finding ability. But a massive knock on him was his running ability and lack of flexibility and that meant he "slid" to us in the 30s. A very good use of a pick from a risk/reward point of view but it hasn't worked out because that equation hasn't changed even the slightest bit in four years. If you can't show improvement over that period of time you're not often going to stay on an AFL list.
Maybe that's because him & the club agreed to a contract extension during his second season - we don't often delist players who still have time on their contracts without a plan to redraft them (such as Brownless)What motivation would a club have for keeping a player, let alone playing him, who can't run out a game?

I'm not sold on it being a lack of fitness, or that he just can't run out a game. Maybe for a player's first season. But he'd be let go by now, surely.
I have never seen him drag himself to the boundary line stuffed and gasping for air.
He was contracted at the end of last season, they tried to trade him but no one wanted him. The contract (two year extension) we gave him was based on early promise and wasn't unreasonable but it hasn't worked out. I don't think he would have been playing if Danger, Menegola, Duncan, Simpson, even Stephens weren't all out injured. They might well have thought a good half from Constable was better than what the other players available would have given against Brisbane, and they might have been right.What motivation would a club have for keeping a player, let alone playing him, who can't run out a game?

At this stage I have no idea what it’ll take for people to realise it’s due to his fitness and limited skill set that’s keeping him from cementing his spot.What motivation would a club have for keeping a player, let alone playing him, who can't run out a game?

I still can not make my mind up about Constable if he is no good or a good player some things to like and some to not
