Pre Game - Round 13 - Blues v Suns

[ElwoodBlues1]

Watson needs more than a good day out in the Magoos.

He needs a few in a row.

x2...He needs to be consistent and do more than be a leadup target, think he will be hoping Henderson goes to Geelong and he might
get another year to prove himself...

[PassIt2Carrots]

Unless there is an injury to Casboult he won't get a game up forward, Watson cannot replace Hendo, Everitt or the other more mobile forwards because he isn't agile enough.

He may get a run up forward if Jammo or White get hurt and they move Hendo or Everitt back. (I don't think moving Everitt back is a good idea, but he is an option!)

I would personally be happy for Everitt to take a stint in the reserves to give him a go. Won't happen whilst Everitt is kicking three goal a game however.

Watson has had enough opportunities if you ask me.  Will be delisted at years end

Yep - new coach. New(ish) recruiting manager. Expected / unexpected player trades / delistings etc. Remember Brittain and Fev ?

If he keeps doing good things in the 2's, he has to be a chance, even if only as a back up player.

Watson needs a chance in the seniors if the whole team is playing good as a fwd i reckon he wont let us down,as for everitt he is very soft (cant stick a tackle)and the  . position for him is that gunston type role half fwd.

Unfortunately, Watson's non-contribution last time he was promoted may have ended his career with us.

I doubt whether he will make it but I would like to see him get another chance now that we're playing competitive footy.

That was a total team non-contribution though. Hate to have been a forward, you had no hope, especially a young bloke. I took no notice of that game. His previous one he kicked 4.

Final team selections

Interchange: Holman, Ellard, Bell and Menzel

Emergencies: Boekhorst, Jamison and Tutt

[PassIt2Carrots]

Dammit Ellard over Boekhorst.

[Mondy]

Dammit Ellard over Boekhorst.

Makes zero sense to me.  There's no future in Ellard.  He's a good VFL player and that's it.

[cookie2]

Dammit Ellard over Boekhorst.

Yep, a puzzling selection.
