Just posted something similar elsewhere. Couldn't agree more. Bring on Bryan or Kennedy (even though we haven't seen him yet).

Yes - he is not up to it. But calling one of our players a "C..." is disgraceful Your mother should wash you mouth out with soap. Go and support Richmond.

Disagree.

He's certainly frustrating because he tends to give up the ball so easily. But he's always going to get a game, until Josh Kennedy is ready. He continually presents. He's a terrific athlete. And he even made some impact at a couple of the contests tonight.

Got to persevere with athletic talls (which is why we've invested so much time into the O'hAilpin brothers).

why is it for someone to be as big as him but gets pushed off to the ground so easily?

DeLuca wasn't a world-beater, but was far from our worst. To find the worst, take a good look at our midfield and see what transpired there.

He is a liability. Terrible below his feet. When the ball bounces to him, he fumbles.

When the ball hits the deck after he's contested, he's out of the contest. Falls over.

And his kicking is disgraceful

I'm not really sure why they played him, French and Mclaren at Subiaco. We got exposed so badly when the ball hit the ground in the forward line.

Useless player. Can't kick, fumbles the ball, doesn't use his only real asset to his advantage, turnover merchant and terrible below the knees despite what everyone says. Wasn't the reason we lost but he hurt us more than he helped.

Bring on Setanta, bring on the future!

I dont understand why he is in this side when we have a back up ruck man Mclaren........ Deluca is absolutely useless slow, cant mark, cant kick, shit when the ball hits the ground, cant chase and apply pressure.

We missed Fisher big time and next week i would like to see Deluca dropped and Teague come back in cause i dont know what he has done wrong not to be included in this side.

He has to go, same with Sporn and Chambers to be honest. I don't mind them but they really aren't the future and what's the point playing them if they aren't the future and a liability in the present?

Out: Deluca, Sporn, Chambers
In: Kennedy, O'Hailpin, Teague, ANYONE

Mindful of any injuries that might carry over though

The problem is that we're chock full of kids already and the only real alternatives to Sporn and Chambers on our list with actual upsides are Russell and Blackwell. Pagan probably figures that carrying that many kids at the same time is verging on the suicidal and would probably hurt the development of the kids performing in the side by putting too much of a burden on their shoulders. You can't expect players like Simpson and Bentick to be senior players in the team already.

i thought sporn was more than handy tonight.

deluca as the topic points out is worthless, cost us time and time again and will continue to as well.
His hands are shocking, he cant hold onto nothing.

Sporn played his best game for Carlton tonight for a long long time and the best that can be said of him was that he was handy. He probably shouldn't be dropped because realistically we don't have anyone to replace him but that doesn't mean that he shouldn't pack his bags at seasons end.

Sporn = the worst player in the AFL

I would have laughed and laughed if Adelaide had of given us that first rounder for him.

It should be "I would have laughed and laughed if Adelaide had have given us that first rounder for him.", but I get your point.

Weak?

I honestly don't give a crap if people think it's weak, it's correct.
