Hosie not playing doesn’t concern me at all, as long it’s a disciplinary reason

Wood emergency clearly shaw is gonna make him work for his spot this year
There's a few other candidates that seem to have avoided this. Any reason as to why Mason is being singled out?Reckon we've run a line through his name mate.

Yeah - its all gone pear shaped there.Wood emergency clearly shaw is gonna make him work for his spot this year
I reckon it's a bit strange that we've basically punted a bloke who actually has the capability to be good, albeit with consistency issues, yet persist with blokes that are just no good and won't ever be.Just isn't getting near the best out of himself. Against the Dees he was terrible for someone of his ability. His best and worst are to far apart
Aint that the truth.I reckon it's a bit strange that we've basically punted a bloke who actually has the capability to be good, albeit with consistency issues, yet persist with blokes that are just no good and won't ever be.

Does the fact that he took the second most marks inside 50 for us last year really count for so little that he is put up for trade, made a defender, not picked for the first marsh cup game, half-heartedly picked for one scratch match as a forward, then dropped forever?Just isn't getting near the best out of himself.

Ziebell is a better key forward than Mason and applies more pressure. Garner's aggression suits our game style more. He doesn't bring what the side needs, doesn't do what he is good at enough and wouldn't be listed if he didn't have a contract for this year. He lost his dominant marking ability ability four years ago and his goal kicking has gone with it. 27 this year and can be grateful he has a chance in the VFL to avoid the scrapheap.Does the fact that he took the second most marks inside 50 for us last year really count for so little that he is put up for trade, made a defender, not picked for the first marsh cup game, half-heartedly picked for one scratch match as a forward, then dropped forever?
He’s not the most consistent player and has some flaws but he’s played some seriously good football for us, and at times last year was very good in a difficult role. I just don’t see what he’s done to be out of the frame in a forward line with one 20 year old KPF and Brown no certainty to get up for round 1.

I hear you, am curious as to which players you're talking about?
Shaw is setting the standard and if you don’t live up to the team values, you won’t play. He clearly doesn’t work hard enough in various aspects of his game. I would rather play the players that turn up each week and have a crack compared to players who have a bit more ability, but you never know what effort they will bring.
He has been in the system for almost 10 years and apart from a couple of years riddled with injury, it’s been the same crap each year. He has 1 year to buy in to the team values and I applaud Shaw for picking players playing for the team rather than on ability.

exactly rightLook, so do I. My curiosity is why Wood has had a line put through his name already and not others who have delivered just as much, if not more, garbage.
I’m not advocating for Wood to be in the team fwiw. By the same token, we’ll go nowhere with 22 “goers” in the team. We need differences makers.
LOL - Ziebell is not a better key forward than Wood - he at best is a third tall forward and that is debatable. In fact I cannot remember JZ playing a legitimate 2nd kpf. But carry on...you have developed a good story above including Garner's so called 'aggression'...that has been invaluable to 'our game style' over the years. I guess if we keep saying it often enough it might come true.Ziebell is a better key forward than Mason and applies more pressure. Garner's aggression suits our game style more.
