Michael finally axed?!

[SirJimi05]

Obviously ommited because of match up reasons. Some people jump into conclusions far too much on this board.

What value does he have as an AFL footballer if week in week out the coach struggles to find a matchup for him?

I watched a couple of kids rack up 34 possesions on him last game whilst he jogged around 10metres behind them on every occasion.

What sort of matchup does he need?

You tell me.

Kids like O'Loughlin and Jolly Give it a break.

I don't think ANY Essendon supporter derived pleasure when LLoyd tore his hamstring off the bone. Sorry, but I reckon that's a stupid comment.

I think it's got more to do with it being difficult to be a good captain at full forward, whoever you are and however good your form is. A FF is, physically/geographically, not in a position where they can exert as much influence on the team than say.... well, any other line on the ground.

A recent, successful full-forward captain was.... ?????

The increased pace of the game this year only exacerbates the problem of Captaining a team from the first/last line.

Sorry, I didnt word my previous post very well. I was referring to the general public and opposition supporters. Obviously our own supporters wouldnt have derived some sort of sick pleasure when our captain went down with an injury.

Sorry i was refering to the Port game when he played on Westhoff and Boak.

When did Mal Michael match up on Travis Boak

When did Mal Michael match up on Travis Boak

When we played Port Adelaide.

You probably wouldn't have noticed because he was always atleast 10 metres behind him.

 

[monty1104]

I wouldnt have noticed because Boak played most of the game in the midfield. Mal played on Westhoff and Lade during the game.

Michael on Boak? Absolute nonsense. That'd be like putting Johns on Pendlebury. What? Oh.

Seriously though, SJ05, he didn't play on Boak.

Sorry i got my players mixed up. It was number 17 Robert Gray that he rotated on.

They kicked 4 goals between them on Michael.
