      I reckon Sheather has a bit of X factor. Needs work but he shows promise.

        However in the Change for Round 6 Thread you posted:
        "Sinclair Stephens Brand Mclean in
        Hickey Blakey Melican McDonald out"

        Sinclair, Brand and McLean obviously played in this VFL game. You can have your opinion but will you have dumped too many players too quickly?
        What is AFL standard? Who is the judge?

          Its a completely arbitrary measure, based on whatever this weeks flavour of qualitative measures are. That and throw in a bit of irrational hate for a few and you've got what said poster feels 'AFL standard' is.

            Hickey-injured
            Blakey-not up to it
            Melican-shouldnt have been in the AFL side in the first place
            MCdonald-needs a rest

            Sinclair-we need a ruck
            Stephens-didnt play in the VFL game and deserves a chance. Young gun.
            Brand-better than Melican
            McLean-fill in for Mcdonald to keep fwd structure

              You forgot to mention Hayward. You recently said that it was a waste of time selecting him and he was not up to it?

                  Don't think my questions have been properly answered. Not expecting anyway. Luckily our coaches value our players more and have more patience.

                    Did no-one else think some players seemed not to be wearing the correct jumpers?

                        How else could i have answered it ? Your worry is that it would be too many changes but i think its worth doing. We are persisting with the wrong players. We know what we get from Blakey, Melican these types most of the time but we still bother with them. Since no one in the 2s was that impressive we should play Stephens .
