Matty Lappin - why so much pine time?

[Captain Kouta]

Great win and all ...

But why did Lappy spend so much time on the bench?
Surely not because he's holding out for a better deal.

 

[bibi01]

not in great form- that would be the only reason.

 

[its just sporn mum]

same as last week.

 

[Captain Kouta]

I haven't seen every minute of every game over the last few weeks because I'm stuck here in SA.
But his form's been pretty good until the Freo game and let's be honest - it's not the hardest team in the world to break into.
Just wondering if he's getting shafted...

If a player told the coach he wanted out, then there would be little reason to waste precious game/development time on that player (especially if a trade has already been negotiated).

Ofcourse, I'm just speculating.........

 

[Kooley]

watched him very closey after the game and he looked very happy with the win.

 

[stokesy]

It would not suprise me one bit at all if Lappin got dropped this week...

 

[gandaal]

I'd rather see Lappin on the bench than Bentick, Simpson or Carrazzo.

 

[Hu$$ey]

Maybe Pagan wants to see if the side could go forward without him or not
