He's a backman, pure and simple. In the sense that he sets it all up from back there.

IT IS TOTAL BS THAT HE IS A GOOD FORWARD.

OMG Geebus H Christ I agree and til a year or two ago was a fan.


Thanks for the AA memories but he was without any doubt one of our absolute worst tonight with little improvement ahead.

First to be dropped IMO.

Give him a break. He's always been a slow starter.

Which is why he shouldn't have been playing last night. Bring him in a few games into the season.

Would give him one more chance, after that it is back to Coburg to fight it out for a spot in the one's. Looked terrible tonight

If we want to beat some bottom eight teams, then yes, let's play him ahead of Rance.

RIP Joels career - 1996 - Rd1 2009

Although he's been dead for over a year.

That right ::). Just how many games did he win for us last year?
Joel should never have been dropped last year.
Lets see if Terry makes the hard call and keeps him in he side.

That's why guys like him play half-assed games, they know they won't be dropped.

Next week he'll take 30 uncontested marks, have 40 short across the ground kicks in the defensive 50 and cement his spot for 12 weeks.

Did Joel play well against any good teams last year though?
