Ben Nason Pick 71

Settle down now My Dear Ducky im not rubbishing Jezza to be honest i think his treatment or lack of game exposure this year despite VFL form makes for not much hope for him, Nason is likely to be delisted too also i just said i wouldnt mind if he got another year he was productive last year.

O Reilly i have said could be a BP type but his injury cruelled year may go against him, and he cant be a rookie forever hes had 2 years and Dea aint a natural footballer, from what ive seen so far, hes got miles to go to make it, lets be fair dinkum here, hes an athlete that needs a lot of work but i am glad hes getting a run.

I wouldnt mind if Nason, O Reilly, Webberly all remained for at least 2012, its the well proven duds and deficients that i can no longer stomach witnessing run around for the RFC.

Delisting the likes of Webberly, O Reilly, Tuck, Thursfield, Taylor and Nason this year are NOT the hard calls this club needs to make going forward sure they will free up list spots the club needs to get rid of the cancer and the garbage that has infested the joint for more than 5 years.

Said it before imo, Jackson, White, McGuane, Graham and Edwards absolutely have to go, and Farmer, Miller, Hislop, Nahas and King arent gonna get the RFC to September football either.

Shockingly bad list the more i read through it the more sordid it looks.
 
Dea looks like more of a natural defender than any other small on our list IMO.

Don't disagree with most of the rest, just think you're focusing a bit too much on the negative, even for you. :)
 
I will talk up positives Ducky you know that there are plenty BUT and its the BIG BUT in all this going forward.

The reason i am continually wanting McGuane, White, Graham, Jackson, Edwards, Hislop, Miller, Farmer ect ect ect gone is because these ARE THE EXACT PLAYERS THAT ARE HOLDING THE CLUB BACK THEY HAVENT IMPROVED NOR HAS THE CLUB IN THERE TIME HERE.

Deficient all of them some of them in many various facets of the game which is an absolute joke and what annoys me the most more than anything else is the club taking the easy way out delisting the likes of Jezza, Goo and Nase and Tuck, Hicks, Westhoff and Willy T and Taylor easy cuts these are no more than paper cuts, cosmetic list changes, easy outs easy options, and yes they open the list and they will be replaced with more kids, but the same duds the same boat anchors and retarders mentioned above will still remain and play week in week out which will result in nothing more than another wasted year and so it goes around again and again and again.

Theres 8 list changes with all the rancid garbage still on the list and apart from maybe one trade im tipping this will be exactly what they do at years end weve seen it all before. thus the crux of the list is the same duds whove taken the club to bottom 4 finishes past few years so the end result will once again be a bottom 4-5 finish
I dont rate Cameron he is a dud and an incompetant list manager and another major factor in this clubs stagnation he needs to go too, and this Hartley doesnt seem much chop either.
 
Im tired of this clubs inaction and acceptance of everything that is second or third rate to be honest its become more than frustrating its beyond laughable now i am really becoming apathetic to it all now because nothing is likely to change.

They turned over half the list in just two years, and you think thats acceptance of third rate performances?
 
gone. worth the risk with a late draft pick but time to turn him over. not good enough - not even close.
 
Never really understood the hype about him last year. Did ok in a few games but at his size you need to be elite which he isnt. Cant even impact VFL games at his age so better to try someone new imo.

Quite a few got too carried away with Nason last year. Limited player.

Possibly limited but he has scope for improvement. he's in his second year and has had off field issues.
I certainly think Nahas and King have been fortunate to keep him out because they have dropped off the pace in a big way.
