Yep - much prefer him over "The John" - can take a mark and is a better ruck man. He had a shcked before he got injured today but wait till he gets a full preaseason and then its tiem to assess.

I do reckon big Doyley is good when he gets going, especially at FF, but you have to be careful not to start comparing him to Goodesy who truly showed his freakish skills today!The Pain of Discipline is Nothing Like The Pain of DisappointmentComment

I thought Stevens was fantastic when he went down back made one clanger but spoiled well and used the ball well I would like to see him down back more before we offload him.Originally posted by dawson
Get rid of him.
Get rid of Seymour.
And probably Stevens as well.Last edited by Dpw; 7 September 2003, 08:56 PM.Comment

Come on Guys, Doyle'y is 6ft 10 or something, if we had Ball'y he would have been saved for next season, Ruckmen take a long time to get the condition and he has had some unluck. He will certainly get another year with us to prove himself and he still has the potential to be an outstanding ruckman.Sports do not build character. They reveal it....Heywood Broun

Let him get a full pre-season under his belt. He probably needs to bulk up as well."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

Some people have very short memories. Doyle has shown quite a bit in the few games he's played.Originally posted by timbo

I think most of us forget the fact that he is still very young and inexperienced. He played a great game in the first round i remember and thats when he had everyone's hopes up of his abilities.
He provides a great marking option up forward and can do quite a bit of rucking. Remember that he has only had 3 games so far since his comeback, give him a chance at least.
100% not in trading him.Using hypothesis testing via confidence intervals:

Definitely keep Doyle - and Stevens and Ablett for that matter. They showed commitment today, and did well especially in defence. A bulked-up Stevens could be a very useful CHB.He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)Comment

Definitely keep Doyle.
Stevens finally showed some spirit today - did well down back on Lade who was their most damaging forward.
Shame about Seymour's injury - if it's bad, could be the end of him, which is disappointing.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Im confident Roos will make the right decision on doyles future. He does seem to be made out of fibre glass though.
I wasn't to pleased with hes performance today and was not bothered in the slightest that he would not be coming back on today. But he was under a injury cloud and had played very little football all year.Comment

Doyle: 12 goals from 19 games
LRT: 4 goals from 15 games
Do you want me to do the difficult part of the maths for you ?
Anyone who saw Doyle in the reserves a few weeks ago would have told you he wasn't ready to play (and they did, on this site).Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way you'll be a mile away and he'll be shoeless.Comment

im sick of this leave doyley alone
when hes played hes been good its not like he wants to be injured and people who think robert lewis thompson is good i think and a few of my freinds say that he should be in reserves to get more better because hes not playing that well and hes making mistakesjude bolton and adam biggest fan everComment

I don't think they should get rid of anyone that played in the side yesterday. They were all brilliant! Every effort mattered.
Ablett's defence yesterday in the second half, was great.
Doyle is wonderful when on song! I think the people doubting Doyle should go and watch round 1 again. As so many people have noted, he has been rushed back to the side. Give him a fair go!
Schneider missed two goals, do you think we should get rid of him????Comment
