Did we elevate the wrong rookie?

Re: Did we elevate the wrong rookie?

They may play different roles, but I think Pask has shown more consistent and better form in the VFL than Morgan.

I don't agree with this at all. Morgan was a really good VFL player.

I watched him take 16 marks v Preston from CHF.

problem was he just couldn't string more than a couple of games together without getting injured.

pity.

Re: Did we elevate the wrong rookie?

we were right to elevate harbrow.

already from the 1 game he has played he has shown that it won't be long before he's back there again.

A lot of players get a touch of the rabbit in the headlights syndrome and freeze up, or don't have the confidence to play at that level when they first come in, jarrod is different. He's a winner, he's been thrown so many challenges for someone who was selected as a rookie. Most people would of thought he'd be playing at 11:30am with the bee's 2's every week this year with west and tiller and co, but he just keeps grabbing every opportunity he gets and delivers.

I think the next afl game he gets he will turn it on. He's had one look at it now that's probably all he'll need. I'd love to see him and aaron davey on the same field.

He should not have been dropped though CD. I watched the Richmond game again last night - he really was a bit of a spark - and one that would have been very useful against West Coast last weekend.

I really hope he is an IN this week - we need runners after the travel and he is the best of what we have at Werribee at the moment...and ahead of quite a few who are playing seniors!

Thats probably what I should have said was the reason behind him never displaying the consistent high level form

i agree but after a knee reco as well, just bad luck.

true,

i still can't fathom the logic of bringing 2 newbies in for the richmond game, knowing that they would get dropped the following week for players that were returning.

It was only Richmond, and they've got to debut at some stage?
