I'll agree to disagree with you, but yep he's handy depth. Plays a bit like his coach actually. Would love him to really work on his disposal and become a multi-tool over the summer.

Biggy in the Ruck needs to be persevered with as he' athletic with a huge vertical leap.
Yeah but you'd still have your contested ball winners getting it 25-30 a game and being efficient and damaging with those stats. RCD gets bugger all touches in the role he's supposed to be playing. That inside clearance winner. He pads his already low stats with fumbly link up play that usually derails us.
Probably not as bad but has a Chol vibe about him.
Yeah I was commenting on you 40 possie players at other clubs
The possie count isn't really what I was highlighting. It's the dominance. Players that perform well above the level. We've got a couple of solid VFL level mids.

Stats is not his weaknesses . IT'S more his attitude when attacking a contest as he seems hesitant and slow moving into it. If he does get the footy then it's his decision making and often poor DE. He's not even VFL standard IMHO.
Think its time to move on from Morris as a VFL coach
I thought Tylar Young looked alright today.
Gibcus and Brown the only 2 future AFL best 22 locks out there.
Clarke, Dow, Bauer and a couple others might make it. We’ll see.
RCD is not good enough. Skills not good enough, it’s not a lack of development or engine blah blah blah.
Stack will leave, if he’s lucky gets a chance at West Coast, bust his arse for a preseason, play half a season of gun footy, get a new contract and be lazy. Rinse repeat.

People love to react to one ordinary performance. Mansell will probably win the VFL b&f and has pretty much been an emergency every game for the AFL team. He does plenty right, unfortunately for him he is playing the one position we don’t lack any depth in and it didn’t work out when we tried him as a pressure forward for a few weeks. I can remember one AFL game he had a bit of a stinker but every other game he’s played he looked comfortable at the level. He’s the last of our worries.

4. Dow
3. Stack
2. RCD

People worrying about how many stats players at VFL , need to consider the influence Cumberland has had at AFL level in his two games and how little gibcus gets it at VFL .
Stats at VFL level mean zilch when considering a players worthiness of being picked at AFL .

I like Mansell as a player, but got to agree with a few here that I don't know his position.
As a lockdown defender - too small when we have Vlas, Broad, Grimes.
Not enough of a rebounder to get a game ahead of Rioli, Baker, Short, Stack.
Played forward earlier in the season but didn't appear to work.
Most likely way of getting an AFL game is down back so that Baker & Short can play elsewhere.
Even then Stack would be a preferrable option IMO.

I reckon that’s his ticket to an afl career ,, work on it , get into the game ,, use strengths leap and agility
Not sure what you’re trying to say ,, personally I feel Gibbo has struggled since r6 , no real issues but I feel he has a bit to work in prob needs to take pressure off himself too

Dow was good. The rest were woeful.
The worst thing was how much better their kids are than ours.
That's compelling evidence that Matty Clarke is a dud

Kidding aren’t you the bloke misses set shots from 4m out !

I agree Bo as impressive he was developing as a defender it looked unnatural to him. This is bc he seemed more attacking , versatile with lots more to offer. That game where he was swung forward and changed the game was a vision of this. Then moving him into the ruck has shown all his attacking traits which include his great leap. second efforts and ability to ge the hit outs. He's so new to it and if he can improve his HO to advantage in time I believe he's going to be a valuable best 22.

Not last year they didn'tOr a team that’s consistently had lower draft picks than us
You are special
It’s encouraging coz if we’re gonna improve, we have to step up from what soldo provides as a sec ruck
His weakness is not being read the play

Good point and add that onto everything else which means he won't make it.
