VFL Round #7: Northern Blues vs. Box Hill Hawks

i would replace Jones with a traffic cone.

We did that a couple of weeks ago and Watson got two possessions for tge game.

It's bare.  That key forward cupboard.  Liam Jones reminds me of brad fisher except fisher was slightly better one trick pony.

We have to make the best of things for the time being and play to who we've got. Drop Jone's, stop bombing long into our F50 and look to leads, running and shorter passing into F50 until we can find some good KPFs. Casboult gives us the tall option of course and I think he should be working the 45 to 55 metre arc.

The traffic cone would have more aerobic capacity.

Jones chases and occasionally tackles someone - the witches hat (i.e. Watson) doesn't.

Mate Brad Fisher was a great contested mark held back by his kicking and slight frame, Jones is just nothing.

Watson must get another go, a proper run of ten games. We owe it to ourselves.

Agree. Watson is not good enough. Giving him a go again is not going to change that, nor hoping that his flukey 4 goals last year is going to become the norm.

Carrots, go down to Cramer Street and watch Watson... he just doesn't deserve a run at senior level going by what he is showing at the moment.  We'd be better off giving Fields a run, he has a serious go.

Foster is worth a run, as will be Byrne if he gets fit!

I know but he has been known to step up when given a crack at senior level. I think if you visit the round 23 aftermatch thread from last year everyone was keen for Watto to have a decent run. Lets give it to him.

[Professer E]

Given a decent run based upon what?  Watson needs to kick a bag and demand elevation elevation, otherwise we are just handing out cheap senior games.  The claim that he "steps up at senior level" ... well, I just don't see it.  Last time he played he got 3 possessions and was subbed out.

I understand the point that if a hack like Jones is getting a game, why not Watson... my belief is that both have had plenty of chances and I'd rather give fields or Foster a run.
