      Maybe there is some bad blood between B-Mac and Moles from their time at Geelong...

        I don't know about that, but Moles didn't even play a game last year and his form in the VFL this year was ordinary.

          Sorry, but I would have Moles over Vezpremi any day of the 365 in the year. Including leap years.
          The only interesting thing I have seen about Patrick's sporting abilitiy is his fly fishing trophy collection in his garage.

            He was good in patches and this is probably what is most annoying, he can show some potential but can't deliver it on a consistent basis. I liked Moles and we could have used him if he could have played well for more than a quarter and a half and for more than one game in four.

              There's a coouple of fair reasons to dump him, I would have thought. Anybody who didn't get a game in last season's free-for-all was obviously shot.

                From what I've read on here and heard McCartney seems to be highly judgmental; not playing Moles due to past perceptions wouldn't be a surprise.

                    Why hasn't Moles been playing more often in the seniors. Is he just not good enough or is he more of a VFL type player.

                      That's the same thing. Not good enough for AFL= VFL type player.

                        Both in my opinion, has the tools to be a decent enough player but just nowhere near consistent enough, Cam Faulkner, Brennan Stack etc etc.

                          Consistency is so important. Justin Sherman is a player that had potential but just was not consistent enough. Brennan was another player who had potential but just didn't show enough of it.

                            There's a few years differnce between the two. Pat has had his chances at two clubs, and is probably lucky to be retained, though you'd think with that being the case the coaching staff see potential in him. He can kick the ball, and he can put himself in good positions to get it. He just needs to put effort in to be fit enough to do it consistently.

                            I've always thought that Moles was too obviously one sided, and inconsistent. He could run fast, and he could surprise from time to time with the way he won the ball, though as an opponent I think he'd be pretty easy to work out at the highest level and as a result be easily kept quiet.
                            TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

                              What a refreshing article on Sherman. No histrionics, no blaming others for his predicament......just an honest admission that he didn't perform to expectations. Many have bagged Sherman the player but I give him enormous credit for his mature outlook on his delisting.

                              I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

                                Very good read. Really refreshing, well done to Sherman for that.

                                Hopefuly he gets picked up by another club - always liked him and wanted him to do well.
