  1. Jordan Clarke is fast, has good skills, but has a low footy IQ. Had a short pass on but went long and got picked off. Exactly what he did at the cats.
    He could be a gun, ala Gaff, but needs to sort that out.

  2. God I know it’s gonna sound like a broken record but having these kids have their debut as a sub and not getting any game time is horrendous for the image of the game and the friends and family of those who have followed them on the journey. Not sure if a rule change is required to fix it but it’s awful

    1. It is horrific isn’t it. Bombers did it to Wanganeen yesterday and Saints did it to Wanganeen-Milera last week.

      Lloydy was talking about it on the sunday footy show and he made the point just to wait until they are good enough for the starting 22 before bringing them in…. Makes sense (and Lloydy doesn’t always make so much sense lol)

      1. Also seems not to make sense if your trying to win you want a reliable plug and play player who can fill multiple roles.

        Rookies by definition aren’t reliable

    1. He’ll still be top 5 by the end of the year. On track for 100+ this week.
      Surely you have bigger concerns

      1. Funnily enough I posted that about half way through the second quarter and he was on 16 at the time. I have no idea how he made his way to 50 at halftime, but I will take it.

    2. Last minute decision to start Steele over Brayshaw looking like a bad move for me so far. Steele to obviously still be a gun and Top 5, but will shed some cash.

      Could have saved myself $100k

      Would love to find a way to turn Whitfield into Brayshaw.

    1. Loved him at the back end of last year but he played too well and his price ended up really awkward at the start of this year. Player to watch for the future for sure.

    2. If I had known how much he would get the ball, I wouldn’t have taken Chapman, because Ryan also gets a tonne of the ball.

  3. Jeez I’m crying here for taking Titch over Brayshaw after having him all pre season hahah supercoach can be so cruel.

    Watching Titch very closely round 1 and 2 it’s clear he has lost his inside role, frustrating.

    Titch too Brayshaw/Crippa is very real

    1. Yes, Ryan huge – but showed none of it last week. Is he just a home ground specialist or was last week an anomaly?

      Actually showed a lot of guts and character, and class today – but last week he was an absolute witches that that you wouldn’t feed.

      Is it him or the coach that causes such a difference? Bizarre contrast.

  4. The kid o’driscoll has kicked a ripper on debut from the boundary. This has been a tough last quarter to watch but a real moment of class in a match lacking it and gives them a sniff
