Drop Fletcher

[eastaugh36]

If I were Sheeds I would make a real example out of Fletcher.
If he isn't suspended I would drop him and bring in Hunt.
Sheeds might not be in the position to do it with Wellman out now but something needs to be done to wake him up to his undisciplined acts which turn games as was the case last night.
We are going great, Fletch runs into someone which led to the doctor incident and then the game turned.

How about the umps give Fletch a fair run. What Brdashaw was doing to Fletch is illegal in 48 American states! The report would have shattered Fletch's confidence, however, if I were to make an exmple of anyone, it would be David Hille and Henneman, both played crap.

Secondly, thought Bolts did an admirable job on Brown, and people should stop bagging him.

How I saw Fletch`s incident ..... he was caught in two minds, do I make the boy earn it or do I do the half hearted thing, he made him earn it, the 50 was deserved the report not, will probably be withdrawn on Monday.

bradshaw did nothing different to what was done to him.
people who live in glass houses, should not throw stones- wake up and realise fletcher is in a form slump.

Fletcher

One question is why didn't they try Fletcher in the forward line after half time. Swap him with Lucas.

Surely Fletch must be feeling stale playing full back for the last 11 years. Throw him up the forward line, he can mark and he can certainly kick a ball. At this stage anywhere but full back.

Did anyone see the kick ins today?

not the best to say the least

I've never witnessed a series of such bad kick ins since Moorcroft was given the task one day against the bulldogs in 97 (or 98).

IIRC he kicked it directly to a footscray player about 5 times. It resulted in about 4 goals. That was the last time I can remember anything that bad.

The worst kick-ins I have seen was in 1997 against Hawthorn (the last time they beat us.) I still have shudders thinking about O'Donnell that day.

Hard to be too critical of the kick-ins today. Fletcher does it for a living, so he should be okay at it and it's always going to take a few matches for a new person to get used to it.

I remember that O`Donnell day , absolutely the worse run of skill errors I`ve seen, the problem was he couldn`t face facts and pig headedly (is that a word ?) refused anyone else a chance to take over the role. Very arrogant. The message soon got to O`Donnell via the runner.
Comically embarassing.
