JLT game 3

[DJC]

OK, one more time as it appears we have a lot of midgets on the site.

Everyone was over Jaksch prior to the start of the 2016 season. However, when we were going bad, he was kicking a few goals in the 2's. We continued to go bad. Yet he wasn't played. Every man and his dog was calling for him to be played because he HAD to be better than what we had playing for us. His stocks went up, simply because our teams had gone down.

Now, the moment comes and he is picked. Then he plays.....not that you could tell. He was pathetic. People realised why he wasn't picked in the first place and got over it.

I hope we play A. Silvagni now....so people see what he offers.....whatever that may be. Then people wont build him up to be somewhat of a saviour when he does get picked

I don't recall more than a couple of people calling for Jaksch to be promoted.  Those regular NBs watchers were expressing concern about his ability to to take the step up to AFL and many others doubted the wisdom of his recruitment from the word go. 

Similarly, I don't think anyone is building Alex Silvagni up as a saviour, except perhaps in your own mind.  Most folk realise that he is a delisted player who was given a rookie spot to provide cover in the event of a LTI.  I suspect that he is down the rookie pecking order but I am more than happy with the idea of having an experienced, competent defender on our rookie list.  I think that he will acquit himself quite well if he does get another opportunity at AFL level but he's a long way off best 22.

Now, repeat after me, "No-one thinks Alex Silvagni is a saviour!"
