What a s**t way to introduce a kid to the senior team.

What a s**t way to introduce a kid to the senior team.

What's this about

 

[Bluelegs]

What's this about

Thostrup not at the captains run and likely being dropped.

Drop Brown instead and play him as a pressure forward and maybe our stupid forward structure might actually have a chance at producing something more than the oppo walking out of our defence.

Dropping him after the worst game to debut in ever where all the senior players lowered their colours sucks.

I agree with dropping brown obviously, but if we're gonna be stupid and play 3 talls like we always do it does make sense for him to go out. There's no other small except maybe Billings to go out for him

Tbh I don't really see the point in an argument that begins with the premise of us having to play the most cooked forward in the worst forward structure in the league.

 

[Bluelegs]

Also if we drop Tholstrup and Oliver goes another week of shirking contests it'll be a disgrace.

if Brown plays over him agree it's ridiculous, but I don't mind the idea of giving the kid 1 game to get a taste, then back to the VFL to work on his game- there's plenty to worth with, but he's still a little way off IMO.

Yeah but to be fair I'd fire Brown on the spot and make him clean his locker out on AFL 360 for content

Brown should only be in the side if Petty/JVR are injured and we are playing a bottom 4 side. He looks okay when we can move the ball, but we are only capable of doing that against the very worst sides.

Personally believe that unless they have a Petty level debut they should get at least two or three games to get used to the pace of the AFL and build their confidence a bit. Don't know that Tholstrup gets much out of playing in a game where the team got smashed, he got no help from the senior players and is immediately dropped.

Id agree with you normally but he only came in off a suspension to Pickett not necessarily because he'd earned it.

Jumping a bit early mate. I would say if he wasn't at the captain's run then he's probably injured.

Honestly what's even the point of that? Play McAdam at full forward, give flakey Jeffo a go. He's value would be taking a mark 30 out with 40 seconds left you'd trust him to kick it. He's a witches hat until that moment

I think the expectation would have been clear that he was coming in for Kozzy so a 1 game stint was likely. I wouldn't be against him keeping his spot but I don't think we're treating him harshly or cooking his development by sending him back.

Yeah thats what I mean, he serves no purpose.

Well then bloody say it man! Lol

I was more trying to highlight how s**t our ball movement is against anyone that isn't total trash.

I mentioned it in the other thread but to me he looked like a lot like Trac in his first game. Desperate to impress and just not quite in tune with the pace of the game. Think if he played this week he'd be a lot more settled and it wouldn't hurt to play in front of a big crowd either.

Sorry I see Brown and see red

******* poetry over here

Yeah but leggy we all agree should be dropped but he won't so who would you drop instead?

Fair point. Feel free to laugh at my melt if that's the case.

I already said Oliver

Nah I get where you're coming from, although I probably wouldn't go as hard about it. With Kozzy back I'd personally prefer giving Kolt another game and dropping Woewodin or Billings.

 

[Topkent]

I already said Oliver

I'm fine with this. Make run around at frankston, even if that's not where we are playing

Ben Browns not playing, just heard on SEN
