Review VB: Put a fork in him!

[Rory Walkerfield]

Dropped marks, fumbling, missed tackles. It's hard to believe he was our captain.

Time to put a fork in him I say.

Or will I be using the fork to eat these words in a few months time?

 

[JP Sauce]

This won't end well.

 

[Bay62]

This won't end well.

Forking hell

 

[Ramify]

Needs a poll. I vote yes!

 

[1990crow]

Should be dropped. Whether he ever gets back to best 22, I hope not.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Bit harsh. 8th game back after a full year out. He will get better as time goes on.

 

[Geoffa32]

Can't drop him this week.

But when Sloane, Douglas Crouch are back both he and Wright should be out of our side.

Would hate to see one of Crouch, Lyons or Grigg make way for these guys whilst VB and Wright are still in the side.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

disgraceful he is still out there. put an xxxxxxxxxxxxxl ptichfork in him.

 

[little graham]

Should be dropped.

for who?

 

[1990crow]

for who?

I'd give Riley Knight a run. Or Wigg.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

for who?

anyone who isn't injured.

 

[Bosley]

Done

 

[1990crow]

anyone who isn't injured.

Hendo will likely be back in the Kedge. So it would have to be someone like Wigg, Knight, Martin,

 

[Bosley]

His disposal and composure (or complete lack thereof) today and dropped mark were extremely disappointing for an ex captain surrounded by kids.

He won't be dropped due to lack of options but if we had 5 of our better injured players available he would be lucky to get the vest.

POLL ADDED ^^^^^^^^^^

i just dont know where the improvement comes from. his injury is just a very difficult one to come back from, especially for someone his age. he looks panicky under pressure and his skills just aren't there. in the past we could rely on him to shut a player down, but the way griffen ran away from him down the wing was telling. what is his place in the team anymore? everyone wished that he would come back well from the injury, but he's struggling something bad

 

[hurt]

If the point of the game was to give the ball to the opposition van berlo wouldve won 3 browlows

 

[Bonkers000]

Dropped marks, fumbling, missed tackles.

So he's an adelaide player then...

 

[1990crow]

Bit harsh. 8th game back after a full year out. He will get better as time goes on.

Not harsh enough.

 

[King Elvis]

I'm voting done, but if there was an option for "he's probably done, but hopefully he can find form in the SANFL and at least push for selection," - then I'd vote for it.

I like the guy, but he's too vanilla, and he has no weapons to over come this (ie, Jenkins is soft and lazy, but at least he's tall). He's a relic from the Crowbot and Sando days, and it's time for us to move on.

 

[King Elvis]

Bit harsh. 8th game back after a full year out. He will get better as time goes on.

That's what the SANFL is for - or do we give him an entire underperforming season in the seniors to try and regain the form that saw him finish ~17th in our 2013 BnF?

 

[AFC979810]

There is a young pacy winger waiting in the 2's. I hear his name is Martin. Very quick. Had an amazing game about 5 years ago.

Could be worth investing the next 14 games to see if he can contribute.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Injury is not an excuse. He was fumbly, uncompossed and not a good decision maker before the injury.

 

[GROTTO]

His performance of late probably explains one of several reasons he was not made the AFC captain in 2015.
