He’s the only forward who can run.
That’s why he’s playing.
Doing okay in a tough role.

Doesn’t know how to crumb off packs as he’s not a natural forward, didn’t kick a goal it’s not all about forward pressure
That doesn’t get you the 4 points You need to kick goals
you might need to repeat that, as some posters think he doesnt contribute anything. (those 8 were alongside 13 disposals and 5 tackles.)
Some people see what they want to see. Its like people want him to fail.
He's an average small forward, he will never be a Charlie Cameron or anyone like that but he adds value to our forward mix IMO.
Were they score involvements for Us or Port?
I would like to see a Stat for players for score involvements to the opposition.

Anyone who think he might be the answer is asking the wrong question.
I think it depends what the question is.
Is he the long term solution to a forward problem and could help a team win a premiership - Then the answer is likely to be no.
Is he the best we have at the moment - Then the answer is yes
He'd only played 15 games before this year so he's an inexperienced player getting more experience.
Has kicked 8 goals for the year which is a reasonable effort in a forward line which has been *smile*.

Since PRE has existed there have been dozens of players who have suffered the wrath of posters and that will never stop. The current ones seem to be Ross and Mansell with a few digs on others when they have a bad game or two. Poor old George copped more than his fair share last year is an example. It is just a symptom of supporting a club to vent on someone or something when things are not going right. We all have an opinion a player and it rarely happens that we will all agree with some notable exceptions.
We can do better than having a battler in the forward line Thats the issue
winning games by improving our side is what we’re after
Kicked 8 goals… Wow!
impressive…. We were in the game against the Dees all Mansell had to do was kick ball over to Cumbo to run into open goal instead he kicked it 15m straight to Dees player
Has opportunity to win game against Bummers kicks for goal only to miss everything it’s out on the full
if that’s reasonable efforts and that’s the level we want we’ll never play finals again
Opposition team meetings -
George - fast, unpredictable, good endurance, can dodge and weave - create things and gets shots at goal. Can take are a good overhead mark sometimes contested need to be accountable for him - dangerous rating 6
Mansell - may bob up and kick a goal or two at best but is no real concern as his role is to guard the exit on turnover, stay out of the way to create space and chase and tackle when he can. He is fit and very competitive but lacks tricks.. Dangerous rating. 3.5
I have always believed in doing what your opposition would least like you to do. I think our opposition is pretty comfortable lining up against Mansell even though he can be a bit fiery - not sure the opposition gives a toss about that aggression. They fear talent more

spare me this rubbish. His position in the team can be debated, he aint that good
all good and fine UK... but i still find it negative and tiresome ..
not questioning the concept of debate .. but when the see-saw is stuck in the mud one end, things get a little dull ...
