Round #23 Match Committee

[Greystache]

Libba had the same problem.

Riiiight.... Game's a bit different in the professional era.

[Bulldog Joe]

Libba had the same problem.

Libba's problem was only height and he made up for it by being the best tackler of his generation. He also found plenty of the footy and was effective with it.

are you for f@#$ing real "hill deserves a chance" i think he has had his chance in the last few years.
It doesn't matter if he kicks 10 goals and 40 posessions this saturday he is not consistant.
Sorry he had his chance and didn't take it, it makes me sick to see stack,reid,addison emergencies and hill in.

Hey cut the crap out Dale, youve been here 5 minutes and already shouting expletives.

I understand why it's annoying to see someone with attitude problems like Hill given yet another chance, but surely you can recognise that ofd those 4 players Hill has easily the most potential.

This could be the wake up call he needs, where he finally starts applying himself at the level required to be the AFL player he has shown he can be, whether thats off a wing, up forward or even in defence.

We are at the stage now where we are picking players on what they could become, and Hill could become very impressive. I'm also a fan of Stack, and would likehim in the side, but as for Reid and Addison neither have shown that they have too much potential and even if they do, they don't add anything like what Hill potentially does. Both Addison and Reid, despite their endeavour, are of average pace, average skill and for me are really inferior to numerous other mids/flankers with similiar (and often better) attributes including Boyd, Cross, Ward, Picken, Liberatore, Wallis, Higgins, Giansiracusa etc.

Hill however is much more unique, and worst case scenario is we give another club one more games exposure to help them decide to trade for him, because at the moment his stocks can't go much lower.

It's a good question. He's been limited because of his inability to play well enough up forward and I'm not sure this won't be an issue for him again next season. He should be penciled in as the number one ruckman but it may not pan out that way.

well that's what Fantasia was saying in Wednesday's age. He is required and at his best will be the No. 1 ruckman. Can he get back to his best and is that REALLY good enough?

His tackling with Willi last week was fierce. He seemed like a different footballer....playing as if he wanted physical contact. If he takes that intensity into the seniors and doesn't let little things get him down, he will be a great addition to our side. I wonder if it's all in the head with Josh....hopefully we can discover the trick to getting the best out of him, and getting his confidence up....because on last week's effort, there's certainly a footballer there.

Just trying to get picked so he can impress against Hawthorn and get some Buddy love next year.

Won't be such a bad thing for us if he plays well against them.

how do you know he is not an afl footballer he has not had chance, unlike hill he has had plenty of chances and proven he is not an afl footballer

You can tell Reid doesn't possess any natural talent for footy. He was not brought up on the game and I think he just can't pick up the flow of the game. Some players from other backgrounds are natural athletes and can play any sport but Reid hasn't been able to do that.

At least Hill has the talent and when he shows some intensity he can really play. His main problem has been intensity and attitude and I don't know whether it was because he just didn't like Rocket. We don't all like our boss sometimes and we can then suck at our job if we have the wrong attitude.

Your probably right with Reid,Stack should have got a game.
Isn't todays game all about intensity & attitude?
Didn't like rocket? throw in imature & unprofessional!
