Pick 27 Anthony Miles

Miles out of form is still better than Hunt, Hardwick must struggle to remember the names of the other 20 blokes on our list.
If Hardwick cant find a better more deserving player out of the rest of our list other than Hunt then we're stuffed.
 
I don't mind him dropping "name" players ..... As long as everyone is treated the same.

Not surprised. Watch his bulksh!t efforts from last week.
He dosent chase

He's a bit too important, Zippo. Maybe next time he's in the ones we'll see a man with bills to pay.

Must be a kick in the teeth to be dropped for Thunt.

I was hoping that Vlastuin would be dropped out of the senior under-performers but he got another chance. I'm not sure why.
 
The balance of the side was out of whack Jack. Defenders were in short supply last week against the Crows.
Miles has been very disappointing. Perhaps the recruitment of Townsend & Moore has seen him ease off a bit.
Dunno.

I'd say not having Maric hurts him. Maric tries to manouvre the ball to feet. Mile's domain. Hampson taps (hard and wide ) to space. Not Mile's domain.

Even if that were true lamby (which doesn't account for his recent errant disposal), given Maric is close to the end that's not great news for a 24 year old midfielder.
 
In my mind clearly he is struggling with an foot/Ankle injury he missed the second half of nab 2 and didn't play in nab 3 and has clearly been below his best for the first 3 games of the season i would be staggered if he played in the VFL on the weeken. after Saturdays game he had a massive ice pack on his foot /ankle I can tell you as fact that he has not trained all week. So that's why I would be surprised if he played for the vfl on Saturday.

Exactly, Lamb Chops. All Maric has to do is get a draw for the footy to fall to the Miles zone. (Not a bad thing.) But even if he wins he usually works close.

No doubt Thunt is in to play a defensive role, ToO. Spot on. Hey, he's got three yards and three stone on young Short.

But Moore has ten yards on Miles.

We live in interesting times.
 
Geez 3 games is a long time in football....finished 4th in our B&F and has been the ONLY guy that has stood up in our finals.
He can't be dropped??
What's going on??? My heads spinning!

I know he is slow. But this has to be spot on, as he is not covering the ground.

He's lining up in the magoos according to Rfc website
