What do you mean?

I know you value Polson's intangibles and unaccounted for acts that don't receive a stat, as do I. But surely one cannot argue that his overall impact is likely to exceed Cuningham's?

That would be... I don't know what it would be.
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

Just saw Big Fev on the footy show and just started explaining to my young son who didnt see him play, the day the bastards at Hawthorn put three defenders on him when he was on 99 goals. Can’t forgive them for that....hope we smash’em for Fev!
Can't ever forgive Clarkson for that....Hawthorn 60 something points up in the last...buddy had booted 100 in the same game. ..fev stuck on 99.

Won't be the case. JSOS was very solid last week. His game, influence and output were better than any of Charlie's games so far.
I don't disagree but Charlie is a starter and anyone that makes way for him is going to be unlucky. Even seems some are hoping Charlie needs another week on the sidelines just so a call doesn't have to be made.

If Charlie and Cunners play this week, it'll be seniors.

I love Polson. But if Cuningham is an option and right there for selection, I'd be sick if we didn't take it. Would be disrespectful to the rest of the team not to have the best available squad out there.

I wish everyone had Polson's team ethos.
I prefer Greg Williams unabashed self centred approach to the game. When I think of Blues greats I see an element of selfishness in good number of them. Would hate it if everyone had Polsons team ethos. A healthy mix of each is better.

Remember it like it was yesterday, I felt like a sardine at Docklands it was so full. It’s going to be fun kicking shit out of them in the near future when the Clarko falls on his sword

That is very true.

I do wish that everyone does what is best for the team at each contest, whether that is applying a block, kicking a goal, shepherding for your teammate to mark, etc.

I don’t see Cuningham needing a stint in the VFL. He has been totally fine to run they were just waiting to get clearance for the kidney. He would not have lost any fitness so why does he need a VFL game. I have defended Polson but after the last two weeks he has had he needs to go back to te VFL and find the footy.
