Rhyan Mansell welcome to Tigerland

So y and b, who is Mansell keeping out of the team given our injuries this year?

I thought Mansell’s game last week v cats and last night were OK.

The commentators were critical a few times that our players burnt players in better positions when they pinged at goals and missed - the team is out of form and plenty of players also - the attack on Mansell is a bit rich as we had few winners across the ground full stop, and I can’t think of any 4 qtr winners at all.
Who’s Mansell keeping out of the team? Cumbo
Mansell is the new FArts as long as he minds space and creates supposed defensive pressure it’s all Dimma wants
Jack kept tapping the ball on looking from crumbers Mansell ain’t that so opportunity is once again lost
 
One of the seniors, leaders should have tried to help him settle after marking to endure he should have at least scored.

While Mansell is not the reason we lost last night he is also not the player we need to improve our system and team moving forwars. Mansell may have been handy in the dominant 2017-2020 years but the game has evolved and players like Mansell have no place in our team. Id rather persist with Cumbo and accept a few really poor games in the process then persist with a bloke who is at best a battler. Dimma loves the blokes that supposedly try really hard. Todays game is much more than that unfortunately.

Seagull might not be quite premium anymore, but the blokes a 200 plus game veteran, no surprise he'd win a contest or two against a scrapper like Nigel. Just as an aside, had a few Essendrugs supporters sitting in front of me last night n there was more than a few times they were bagging out Seagull for stuffing things up. Not sure he was anywhere near an AA performance.
Scrapper - you said it

What did he do when it was his chance to put us further in front?

Watched Dusty n Jaaack n KMac n Presty n Sausage n quite a few others stuff up opportunities to win us the game, but of course it was all Nigel's fault coz he's a spud. Phhhht.

Been hundreds of players over the years with a shitload of talent that don't try hard but get paid heaps. They help mire clubs in mediocrity and kill coaches careers. With a salary cap and draft system in place, every club has a bunch of battlers on their list. The first and just about only thing the coach desperately requires of them is that they bust their arse and try as hard as they can to do a job for the coach and team.

Cumberland needs to replace him. Needs to learn if you are 5 points down a point 30 meters out is non negotiable.

100%. Dimma needs to evolve and understand the team needs more skill.

Bloody amazing how pressure can fry your brain. Point post to point post has gotta be about twenty metres or more wide. How the *smile* anyone can completely miss a twenty metre wide target from just thirty metres away at the elite level of footy in perfect condition is bizarre, but it happens way to often to be a bloody fluke.

I'm a big fan and I have been quiet on this performance, so I deserve a bit of a whack too.

He undone all his good work with those last 5 mins. Basic bloody skill execution.

The same goes for Kam and Hugo.

Not doubting that but considering it was a game of many many brain farts not sure why you are focussing on this one. Reckon in the last 5 mins his 1 on 1 loss with Heppel and Jack kicking the ball off the ground to start their last score chain were worse.

They’ve all done it, won it. Produced, multiple times.
Mansell won’t play in next top 4 team. He just won’t

Ha ha. His own supporters have bagged him for the last 5 years, it would be their default “support” at every game. He made some significant telling plays if you watched. I imagine you were sitting in your rocking chair yelling at clouds whilst the game was on.
