If it wasn't already obvious that we lack a genuine CHF today was the sealer.

If we had of had a genuine CHF playing today we would have gone into 1/2 time at least 10 goals in front.

Setanta has had a poor start to the season, I feel he needs time in the reserves to become the main focus up forward. Hartlett should be brought in, I saw glimpses of yesterdays game whilst at work and he looked good.

Other options Kruzer, Cloke and Fisher yet again none are genuine CHF's
Haven't seen a lot of Bullants games so what do people think of either Edwards or Austin?

Going into round 6, Hartlett must be brought in, Adelaide will rebound with accuracy if we continue to go to Fev outnumbered or Setanta who was unable to take a contested mark.

You wont get many arguments
 
Agreed. Hartlett needs to come in this week. Sure, Carlos gives it his all, but he is just having a run of outs at the moment. Certainly time for Hartlett to be given another chance at AFL level.

Last time he played at the 'G he did ok. Pity he got himself reported and had a holiday for 2 weeks.

I think Fish does an alright job when he plays there but the boys don't use him enough which Ratten needs to change. Fisher has some of the strongest hands in the business and if he added a bit more bulk he could be a true presence down there.

That said I would still like to see Hartlett get given another chance.
 
Setanta is not doing enough at the moment and needs a run in the Bullants. Hartlett had a good half in the BUllants win over Tassie, but faded after 1/2 time. They've tried Setanta in the forward line without succuess, what about the backline again? If not, give either Hartlett, Edwards, or even his brother Aisake a go. (Who knows, Aisake has the same build and speed of Buddy Franklin, and you never know until you try them at the highest level ?)

We got nothing at CHF and we keep breaking down there. That's why we play ping pong acrosss the backline for half the game.

Yeah that was my motivation for the thread. Bloody frustrating to watch the ball rebounded faster than it goes in. Anyone bar Melbourne and it would have really hurt us today, instead of adding to our score.
 
Harts should come in for Setanta but I really see him suited to being our 2nd half forward 'tall'. Would like to see Hammer given another chance to settle in at CHF once he is fit. :)
 
In this years draft will have to draft the best available CHF and CHB two big boys. That will be 10 year players.
 
We definatly have to try and draft a good CHF, don't think we need another tall defender but definatly need to try and get a good big forward with our No 1 pick.

Until then Hartlett in | O'hAlpin out...

Thought Hartlett played well in the VFL. The guy has serious talent, and is almost certain to be picked next week. He is a true CHF type, and knows how to play that position. Seems to have got his fitness right as well. A thumping kick of the footy, and has attitude. Still think Jake Edwards has a huge future, perhaps on a HF flank. He looks too classy for VFL level - just needs to persist, and start using some of that natural ability. :)

What happened to your driving the Setanta bandwagon because he's such a great tall prospect? :eek: :cool:

He can't get a game for them and they're really struggling :confused:

Think they'll wheel him out for his debut in Round 7? Suppose Waitey would stand him. Interesting. Bugger better not decide to turn it on.

Fisher isn't bash and crash enough to be a CHF.

He's purely a 3rd tall - and a VERY handy one at that. Heard a stat on him the other day... something like he's kicked three goals 12 times, never kicked four. Can't be the primary focus, but is a vital "3rd option". He also tends to make mincemeat of the opposition's third defender in contested situations.

Definitely give Hartlett a go. Looks to have the size and general mindset to do it. Doesn't have to be a megastar, just serviceable and hard-working (see Spalding, Earl).

Only if we could get him for nothing. Certainly not in their best 22, with Buddy, Roughie and Doyle up there.

I don't see why we'd use up a spot on the list for him to be honest.....never going to be a game winning CHF, and I'd actually have Hartlett and O'Hailpin in front of him anyway. If we add a CHF to our list it should be Hurley ;)
