In: Pavlich... For the last time ever...

Oh my god I am not okay.

 

[meima]

Why not remind pav in his last match , how far he had bring our footsoldiers to nearly a flag.

Gu, c.pearce , d.boer ,suban should all play. Peel already qualified for final . No need to think about peel last game now.

 

[Proud SJW]

Pav loves Ballantyne, he'll play. Probably De Boer as well.

Dawson is available for selection. He's done his 3 weeks.

In: Pav
Out: Tears. Lots of tears.

Dawson is available for selection. He's done his 3 weeks.

SNOS and Collins have both been playing great, so neither will come out. Plus the Doggies don't have a super tall forward line anyway.

 

[Midnite65]

Yes, thank ****.

Can guarantee Kennedy and Patton would not have kicked bags in the last 2 weeks had Dawson played

Collins had 6 kicked on him in 2 1/2 quarters last week, great is a bit of a stetch

 

[Midnite65]

Sorry, it was 6 in the derby the week before

 

[Danny82]

In: morabito, Sandilands, de boer, deluca
Out griffin, Sutcliffe, tucker, Ballantyne

Definitely rather have Collins play over Dawson. Collins is a rookie and has showed a lot more than Dawson ever did. Yeah, he'll get beaten over his career, but everyone has bad games.

 

[Cobbler]

Collins has been poo for the last month. He started today ok, but then just got reamed.

It's all learning, trial and error for him. Who cares. I think he's still been great for us even this last month. He's a 10 gamer who has been stuck having to play with Sutcliffe down back. What do you want from him?

Yeah I didn't need a detailed analysis or your opinion. I just gave mine and he has been poo, but he's no orphan there.

 

[YelloMit]

He's had to play on the elite forwards in the absence of Dawson and to a lesser extent Johnson.

Walker, Kennedy, Franklin, Lynch. He's done well considering.

He really hasn't done well.

Seriously, no fullback is going to stop those goals with the amount of supply coming in to the forwards. Get Real.

Fair enough. I respect your opinion.
I think he's been outmuscled. He has no quick step so gets done on the lead. Often caught out of position. And with his lack of speed if the ball hits the ground he is often beat at ground level.
My best hope for him is to become an intercept mark type player. If he's expected to play one on one we can expect him to lose often.
He has honestly been beyond poor for the last month. Not sure why we're arguing this fact.
