We got Marchbank to play key position? Prefer him in that role than O'Shea.

Age has nothing to do with it. Stop making basic, basic skill errors. Good players make a minimum of errors, our blokes make too many. Your namesake didn't make errors.
And don't call me a plonker just because I have a different opinion you to you. I'm more than frustrated at supporters becoming comfortable with mediocrity, blokes going at half rat power, basic skill errors, brainless footy. The club needs to become ruthless regarding standards.
Continuing to give blokes games when they continue to duck up, I just don't get it.
Sorry. You're not a plonker. You've just got an absolutely zero idea about how this works. I thought Brett Ratten was hopeless in his first year. I told my mates that this guys got no hope. I then learned that writing off young guys only makes you look like a complete plonker when that guy plays 250 and becomes one of our best ever players. Some people never learned that lesson though.

Yet Polson was.
Double standards.
As far as giving kids games, look at the run from Dow we just saw. You think he was doing that earlier in the season? He is starting to feel comfortable at AFL level and is showing what he can do with it now. Give Polson more time and we'll see similar.
How bad was Matt Wright's panick handball in the first quarter under no pressure? Cost us another goal. My 7 year old would have been embarrassed by some of these skill errors by guys who've played 100 plus games.

Agree 100 percent. Same blokes making the same errors. So what are we going to do about it as a club? Continue to play these blokes. Polson has youth and potential upside but Lang, Wright, OShea, Graham.... It's the same crap week in week out.

You don't want to play them.
You don't want to play kids who are still learning the game.
We can't play players who are injured.
So who the hell DO you want to play?
There is nobody left that doesn't fit into one of those categories.

Embarrassing performance as expected. Our lower lights are unfortunately not in this grade :-[
Some nice glimpses from our youngsters is encouraging.
Samo Polson H Charlie Dow and the like.

Solution: sack everyone who joins the club if they ever make a mistake... especially if they're 19.
