Rd 20: Pre Game Mission Critical Powwow: Carlton vs GWS

[ElwoodBlues1]

I did.

But when it happen again, again and again and again.....time to call a spade a spade mate.

If your contested defending is the worst at a club that sits last on the ladder and your not a kid, you better have a decent weapon somewhere else. He doesn't. 

Awful disposal particularly by foot and bloody unreliable and generally turns it over even when running free without much pressure with ball in hand. Yes he is proven to be a very decent 2nds player but that's it.

The pace and quick decision making required in the seniors simply doesn't suit him. I will be disappointed if we haven't upgraded him and Mullet at years end.

Agree...not sure whether SOS will want to cull a couple of his own picks that quick and have Matthew Lloyd have them on his scoreboard as fails....

If SOS is making decisions based on what Matthew Lloyd (or anyone else) is going to say, then he isn't the man for the job.

Its as plain as day that they are not up to AFL standard long term. Yes, they provided a senior body, but there is plenty of them going around. Keep picking them up and hope to find the next Heath Scotland or Andrew Carrazzo type player who can contribute at senior level consistently.

We need the next Tim Kelly from the WAFL.....great game vs the Tigers and its a crying shame to see a powerhouse midfield like Geelong have just get another quality readymade player for nothing..... we got Garlett but he aint in the same parish as Kelly as a footballer....

All I'm saying is that we shouldn't be judging many players based on much.  I remember in 2012 which is a season which mirrors this one for sheer dumb luck with injury, that many a competent footballer looked much worse due to circumstance beyond their control. 

I'm willing to see how he goes this week where he can actually play a key position role rather than a pocket or flanker.
