I can be reactive at times, but this Polson argument has 18 months of data to back it up.
Oh so we have been s**t for 18 months due to Polson, play on

Because he is more a midfielder than forward, he has been in pretty ordinary all year, isn't quick AND has had a poor run with injury in the last month.
Cuningham is more forward than mid, is quick, has been in great form this year and barely missed a training with his injury.
The last game last year and how he played.Is this last year's game against the Hawks? As in how Polson played?
It seems like the development of the list gets forgotten after one win. That surely is a season long exercise and there is absolutely no best 22 or even 30 until they all get enough time to show their stuff. That said I think Cuningham has more potential right now to improve the team performance. My concern is only around readiness after injury. And that is the part that most of us would have no clue about.
Thanks! In this situation IMO there is no right or wrong
What about pressure acts, positioning, blocks, shepperds ect?
Anyway back to my original ins and outs
Kennedy in, Polson out
Debate that
Wouldn't the fall under 1%ers of which he has had 4 in 3 games
But you have queried anyone who suggested Cuningham should come in.

No I'm saying that Cuningham over Polson is strengthened by Polson's poor showing in those 18 months. Don't twist my words.Oh so we have been s**t for 18 months due to Polson, play on
Cuners is more a forward? Since when?
You do realise, Kennedy playing in the middle will release other, more "talented" players, to the forward line?
have you been paying attention this year?
"You do realise, Kennedy playing in the middle will release other, more "talented" players, to the forward line?" So ignoring the fact that Kennedy has been in pretty ordinary form, why wouldn't we just let the more talented players play in the middle and select the more talented forward to play in the forward line?
Thought so, was probably his best game of his career but again was one of just four games since the start of last year where he's had 10 disposals or more.The last game last year and how he played.

Only the point that it's a "certainty" that Cuningham replace Polson. Never had an issue with the selection or said it shouldn't happen
I'm trying to have a discussion about options and variables and you want to make it about right and wrong
I have already stated that Polson should do a stint in the VFL, but I wouldn't be bringing Cuners in until he has had at least one run in the VFL
Cuners is and will be best 22, no need to rush that, for him or the team
Cuners has been injured for most of that period
This should not be about Cuners v Polson, they are 2 different players at different stages

Raising "variables" doesn't make it a discussion on variables. I and others have asked numerous times how these "variables" make the case for Polson over Cuningham and you have either said they don't or "when did I say they did?" - so the discussion seems moot really.
And I haven't made it about right or wrong, I have just taken a position and am happy to support it. You seem to just want the argument.
Pressure acts Macca?
I think that overlooks the fact Cuningham has also done very little besides have potential for 18 months. Unlucky with injuries yes but the why is hardly the point. In fact there is an argument to say an always fit player is better than one thats always injured no matter what the upside.No I'm saying that Cuningham over Polson is strengthened by Polson's poor showing in those 18 months. Don't twist my words.
In fairness Cuningham is the same
