Lewis Young Zac Williams McGovern and Fogarty are four of the worst players getting a regular senior game in the AFL. I could handle one or two of them, but all four gets what we have all seen again and again.

We did try to replace McLovin with Khamis and from memory we were looking to add Rosas, who would've replaced Fogarty IMO, so it is not like this has not been identified.
Unfortunately given the massive increases in FS bidding and with more to come we couldn't afford the trade capital, plus the Charlie deal took us to the wire and we had no time left for any other deals.
We did get Byrne and Ison though and they will be great additions with some experience, but we still need senior players until they are ready or we are back to green shoots.

But more importantly, our midfield depth is our biggest issue, first and foremost.

Voss refusing to play the Kids- ( Dereksen & Byrne should have been given a go). Voss is abviously fighting for his Career.


So just to confirm, we're bringing in 2 x 21years olds and a 20 year old. To replace an underperforming 20 year old, a 25 year old and an injured 31 year old. And Voss is refusing to play the kids? And as an example, you complain he's not bringing in a 25 year old? :?

We have 13 players with less than 100 games in the team. I understand you're frustrated but let's not fabricate scenarios to whinge about. I'd like to see Byrne get a run but I can't accuse Voss of ignoring the kids.

Good ins. Fair outs.

Think some of you are in too much of a rush to get the kids in. Let them build in the 2s, the way successful clubs do it.
It's more that we want consequences for poor performance. Fogarty does not deserve a game and then you could argue McGovern, L Young and others don't either. I'd rather move around the deck chairs until something works than have the same players do the same thing expecting a different result.

You may want a punitive selection policy. I want the team that will give us the best chance of winning each game. If an 18yo kid had performed as Gov did (see stats provided by Sidefx) you'd be gushing, but because you have a grudge against Gov you want him dropped for "consequential" reasons. Fortunately the club does not run this way. And as BV points out, we're bringing in 3 babies already this week, we don't need more.

Seems like Zac Williams has joined the 'hate' list. Oh goodie.
