In my household Gault has been known as the "NAB Specialist" for the past few seasons. He always serviceable bordering on good in the NAB then spuds it up when he gets his shot in the home and away season. Everybody else should adopt this nickname for him IMO.
 
He hasn't changed. Good athlete, strong when allowed to run and jump at the ball... no good when having to absorb any body contact.

Against an AA quality defender...

Is there an echo in here.

It was in a mickey mouse comp. Jesse White has kicked 5 goals in a game in a mickey mouse comp. Guess he should be our number one target in the forward line next week.:thumbsu:

I'm happy for Cloke to attend a few ruck contests, he has the endurance and Moore/Fasolo/Howe should be potent enough for five minutes here and there.

Cloke and Moore should be our permenat forwards with only the occasional ruck hitout. Second ruck should be Gault Witts or White, with Cox waiting in the wings. And I believe in giving players some time to run into form. Gault has played five games in his career and never more than two in a row.

Darcy is a star. Not many key forwards are capable of making an imediate impact like he can.

But my point was Darcy in his first game last year against Hawthorn.
First experience at AFL level, was probably quite early from an actual performance perspective - but just kept competing everytime the ball got near him.

IMO that should be the minimum for any player... Particularly if your skills and abilities arent at the required level.

And this is not Gault in his first game. He is 3 or 4 years in. It just isnt acceptable.
Everyone rips into Jesse White but he provides a hell of a lot more than Gault.

Its not the number of goals kicked its how the goals are kicked. Gault and White all got cheap goals over the back that's why they turn to mush in the regular season.

Cox did his damage up forward by out marking an experienced defender.

Against Goldstein I'd agree, against Hickey not so much.

A star not only has talent but also has the knowledge about applictaion earlier in his career

The game I'm alluding to they were mostly hit up marks in our 50. In his first year with us.

I don't see many others suggesting Cox, I wonder why that could be..?

I'll suggest Cox. He can be a real weapon up front and he'll at least give us a hope in the centre bounces. Grundy can ruck around the ground and Cox just does the centre bounces for a start. Gault deserved his spot based on NAB form but he's been ordinary (pace of the real game too much for him?) for the last two weeks and maybe Cox should have a go now?

I remember that game he only kicked one goal from a set shot.
 
There once was a guy called Gault, who started a fan revolt, like a deer in a headlights, never gonna hit the heights thus his career has grind to a halt. Magoos next start.
