Is he getting bags kicked on him, or just not racking up stats?

I wouldn't touch McAsey unless we got him for cheap (Re: nothing).
Need another tall down back, and a natural crumber up forward, that's it. Would love to be able to lure Moore away from the Pies but we'd need to move out some cap space to do that, probably try to get JJ's dumb 700k a year contract off our books at that point.
Jamara to the forward line and move Naughton back.
Naughton will apply 15 times the amount of pressure than Jamara at this stage anyway.
Ed Richards if on the market has to go for a top twenty pick - minimum. He's a former pick sixteen, and isn't getting a game because he's injured. The guy has played 94% of the games he's been available for as a senior player at our club.
Irrespective of output he's pretty much played every week he's been available in his first three years at the club. The coaching staff clearly rate what he does, and he plays where he's told to forward or back. When he's fit he'll be playing in front of McNeil, Scott and possibly JJ and one or two others.
This is what pisses me off about this type of "analysis". The reason he isn't getting a game is because he's injured, but because he's not getting a game he's all of a sudden someone we should ship off somewhere else? It's crap.
The mere thought of shipping him off for McAsey makes me ill.
Excellent points raised Jeemak but the telling part for Richards in his decision making will be if he believes he is going to get a regular senior game with us given how we are playing and if he thinks we are playing him in his best position.
I still like our chances of keeping him but he will have a lot to consider.
