Always Right Match Committee Round 13 v Port Adelaide

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 13 v Port Adelaide

Guy is on a hiding to nothing.

The guy (after serving three seasons) must be promoted or delisted according to AFEL rookie list rules. Those are the options.

I choose to delist him and would not promote him. I wouldn’t play him again in addition. I’d rather get a look at Clarke or others.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 13 v Port Adelaide

He?s not an AFEL footballer. He missed a gimme goal to get us back in it, and late at CHF let Rohan take an uncontested mark without any pressure and gave nothing to the side. I?m not blaming him for anything. He does not deserve to be on the list in my opinion based on his performances over three years including last night.

Edit:

Career Averages

7.8 touches
1.6 mark
1 I50
0.5 goals
0.2 goal assist


Not to standard. Not worthy of promotion when the forced choice is delist or promote. He needs to be delisted and he shouldn?t play again if I was picking the team. That?s not blame, that?s my opinion on his career to date and performance last night sealed it.

Happy to be corrected then. What am I missing about McNeil?

He's young and has played 5 games of late 4 as sub.

That was his first kick I think after being on the bench.

I get it, he's no gun however he's not the problem for mine BT.

He'd be getting paid sfa too so I'm ok with him on the list.

Our depth is a concern.

But he must be delisted or promoted according to AFEL rules. MUST. So which is it. Has he shown enough to be promoted to the main list or otherwise be demoted. There’s no other option.

I can understand giving him a taste. But clutch matches again GCS & Geelong to cement top four is hubris if the highest order.

I'm comfortable trying him out. He has now had a taste and needs to go back and work on it more before being selected again. The dangers of it now and as TBB said it may turn into a Bevo yearly project if we keep selecting him.over and over like he has done in the past.

Agree. He actually was better in his first year and hasn't improved but gone backwards.

This is elite footy. Some make the grade, most don’t. I think he will be a good state league footballer which is a great achievement in its own right. But he is not an AFEL footballer, I know that to be true.

I like so many aspects about what he could potentially bring us in terms of pace and pressure but as a low possession winner he needs to convert his chances and he has consistently fallen well short of that mark.
Missing a shot when you're 5 goals up doesn't hurt like the one that he was basically gifted last night.

I'm probably inclined to say he should be cut. Could he be tried as a back man at Footscray for the balance of the season to see if he has some scope there?

So we are trialling Gallagher, Cleary, Crozier, maybe Poulter, Raak & Khamis, plus VDM at half back. Now McNeil too to HBF. I think there’s too many players trying their last chance saloon there.

I’d say either McNeil or VDM gets trialled. VDM has the shot right now.

Played out the game so don't think so.

Copped a corkie from reports.

Bont had the knee heavily strapped looked proppy late.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's carry some major niggle from the that tackle and is getting jabbed just to get through the game.
If it's a problem would it be better to get it fixed now so he'll be right for the end of the season or it requires surgery and it will have to wait until the end of the season. Current Bont is not firing as he was 3 weeks ago.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 13 v Port Adelaide

I've loved Arty Jones coming into the team and providing some spark. But I've hardly even seen him the last 2 weeks and think it's probably time for a spell. Maybe VDM comes in for him. Our depth isn't looking good which is sad considering there looks like a fee players who are either carrying injuries or need a spell.
