Mansell v MRJ

Is this a serious question?
What is wrong with it?
Match committees, List Managers have to make calls like this all the time.
I think they make an interesting comparison - both could probably use some of the other’s traits.
And they may end up fighting for the one spot.

My personal view is MRJ went so hot on his chase and tackle that became his no.1 intent , which was great, but his intent to score seemed to drop off.
Have to get to e balance right like those best small forwards.
The best medium forward in the game doesn’t exert all his energy hunting tackles.
All he is interested in is being dangerous and scoring goals, Toby Greene

I'd hope in a few years, it would be a double act, Marlion Jr & Latrell Pickett terrorizing defenses.

Just reading Morros VFL report re MJ , it’s the same glowing report about his pressure and tackling that we always hear and see with MJ , pity he never has the *smile* ball

We lamented last year and earlier this year that we couldn't afford to give MoJu a month in the twos learning how to get a kick, because we needed his pressure in the ones. With Marlion and Mansell handling that area we were finally about to give him that chance. Now, he probably has to play ones and we sacrifice his development again.

Junior will be fine.

Not even 21 yet. He will find the ball with more confidence.

I am very positive about him.

Promoting Moju for this game reeks of desperation to me.
Moju was running around in circles and barely touching the footy before he tweaked his hammy.
One magoos game back from injury where he still couldn't find the footy and again ran around in circles a lot yet still gets promoted to the seniors.
Not sure he's gunna get near too much footy again tonight, best hope is that he's in premium chase down mode n frightens a few oppo defenders into *smile* things up.

Can’t play
Continually runs to wrong spot .
Skills are very very average
Doubt he plays next week on yet another 6 possession game
At least he is consistent. . 2 weeks in a row 6 possessions

Great post. You must have crystal ball . He can’t find the footy as he is a spectator . Back to the VFL next round

I hope so. Not showing a lot right now. His skills were really poor today. If it wasn't raining, I'd have subbed him out instead of Ryan. Skills with the ball on the ground were non existent tonight.

Lacks pace, poise and skills at this moment in his career. Hopefully he improves the latter two asap

He needs to get some ball to be dangerous to the opposition.
we need him to contributre seeing Jack and ,at times, Miller can’t get it.
 
MJ 4K 4 HB 3M few clangers and 2 behinds the tackle machine produced just 2 tackles
MJ or Mansell :unsure: It’s Mansell but we can still do better Bring back Cumbo
