Don't like to be negative & I am normally cautious about putting posts on that are downers, but I am sorry.......Big Angus isn't up to it. I am sure everyone would like to see him show why he has been retained on our list (& for those who think I am covering both bases I couldn't care less), however to date...nope... People have been critical of Troy Simmonds & at times with damn good reason - but at the moment he is still considerably better. Gus is slow, his co-ordination at times is appalling, christ, he fell over his own feet on Sunday against North & just lay there with his cheek pressed against the turf while North cleared the pill. Not his finest moment. To be a serious player at AFL level he should have been dominating while at Coburg & wasn't.
