    He didn't get the chances he deserved in 2007.

      If he gave Roos et al no choice but to keep him in the team (eg Barlow) - then he would have had the chances he deserved.

        I expected most of you to leave Bevan right out as well, most of you have NFI.
        Forgot Moore - I would put him in the emergencies.

        I thought about Bevan as a back pocket, but who would you leave out? I considered putting him amongst the emergencies.

          We got beaten 3 times by Collingwood and now the match committee are saying that they need to make changes......gee, that's EXCATLY what I was saying from the first Saints game. It seems that they might actually agree with me.

          Plus, if you'd looked closely, you would have seen my cute little icon acknowledging that I was saying Roosy had NFI.

            Fair enuff...at least you considered him.

            I guessed you had forgotten Moore, it was a no brainer he is in the top 29.

              Maybe Dempster?

              But I think he's worth keeping.

                    Yes he was fantastic...as an 18 year old in his first 3 games or so...ripped the ball out of the centre, delivered superbly. Cannot believe he has not had more opportunities esp considering Jack and Phillips have had a few games.

                      I left him out because he has poor skills and is crap at getting the football. he is probably THE single most fumbling player in the ENTIRE AFL. he very, very rarely wins contested balls, he cannot tag.

                      Name me a player from my 22 he is better than.

                        For one, I'd wait to see if Flipper is on the list before naming him in the team.

                          He signed for three years this year - not a sign that A) he wants to go or B) they want to get rid of him.

                              Moore, Ablett and Phillips for starters.

                              Outside midfielders don't tag and aren't required to win many contested possessions.

                              We already have most of our midfield diving on a loose ball we need some to keep their feet and receive it.

                                Pfft. Nobody creates a stoppage like Ablett.
