2018 Rd 16: Pre Game Prattle: Carlton vs St Kilda

Am i missing something with Byrne?

Every man and his dog seemed to think he was a walk up start to take over the docherty role.
Yes, he's been injured, but he did SFA when he actually got a chance to play.

Agree...turnover merchant and loose defender.......be a delist for me....

Was much more impressive in 2015 before he got injured, will be interesting to see what he can produce if retained but I have Williamson miles ahead of him.

He's first year back after a significant set back, and looked ok taking players on just opposition was prepared and expected it and got the balance between defence and offence wrong and then he got injured.

As it turns out he's another one who's injury prone.

For someone who didn't have a significant injury he's missed a lot of footy.  Sure he wrecked his knee a couple years back and has been so so ever since.

It's amazing we could have used Dylan Buckley this season.

Don't think he'll make it now.

I'm not willing to throw in the towel with Byrne yet. But he does have some work to do. Most of it is simply game awareness and that comes from being on the field. Unfortunately he is fragile, like too many of our players.

That's his big drawback and it will sap his confidence eventually if it hasn't already.

I think that he's a rare talent, quick, tough, good skills, naturally attacking and beautifully balanced, unfortunately his body might let him down.
When fit he'd be an automatic selection if I was picking the side.

He's potentially a very good player but Docherty is in another class.

Has zero awareness and gets caught too often for mine.
