One of the worst defenders I've ever seen. He's lucky King dropped a few marks. He could of easily kicked 8 on him Saturday.

Needs to go.

If he's unfit, give him a few games.
He played 19 last year OK

However, he's 25. If there's no improvement left, I'd put Kosi or Miller down there. Kosi is 23. Miller 24.

We then try to draft a KPF and KPD, and a couple of good midfielders, maybe a wing or two...should be good for finals in bout 5 years.

he rated pretty highly in one on ones last year. Unsure we have anyone to replace him at this stage.

He played some good 1:1 footy last year.

Let's give it a few games before we rush to judgement, but he's never going to be a top 10 player. Kind of hope can do an Astbury role - strong overhead, fit, halve the rest and kick it down the line or pick a very safe outlet.

Agree. There's lots of Young bashing after Saturday's poor game. Last year he was pretty dependable so we should cut him some slack. It's round zero 🤔 so let's see how he progresses. Even by PRE standards we should at least give him till round one!!

PRE whipping boy of the week, 61 inside 50's, King should of kicked 10.

Rushing to judgement is the PRE way !!

There's no point in passing judgement on any of our backs or forwards after that game.

It was 100% a Midfield failure. You can't repeatedly stream out of the middle under zero pressure, completely in control with ball in hand, in 6-6-6 and not hit targets in the modern game.

Young is our only tall lockdown defender. Grimes did nothing, Vlastuin intercepted, Gibcus got destroyed by King and anyone else he went to (again, not his fault, no pressure on the ball carrier).

Your key backs will always look poor in those situations.

King also received two extraordinarily soft free kicks from good Young contests.

Didn’t king kick a bag on Balta late ly or was that the other one , when I look at root cause for that first half nightmare it was squarely on the midfield , 80% I of that time was in their f50 course they’re gonna get amongst it ,,,he barely touched in sec half , apart from dodgy free kick

What's the story with the AholeFL and us in this concussion stuff up?
I thought they said on the telecast, he passed the initial concussion test after the incident, but showed symptoms at half time and the other protocols came into force, ruling him out.

Young hit his head but the AFL is concussed

We looked better when he went off. Proves what I said earlier about not needing him in the side.

Massive ball watcher.
Not convinced he is the answer down back.
He was lucky the little blokes saved his ass

Struggled with the lack of preseason and shoulder issue he had not the same player he was last year
