How does No.11 survive, week in week out !?

Doesn't even have Watson in it

 

[hawkman]

How does No.11 survive, week in week out !?

Probably because he has been in our best for 2 of the last 4 weeks

He is a Sam Mitch pet.

 

[westhawk]

He lays a few tackles and blocks. Permanent midfielders should be doing a lot more than he does

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

How does No.11 survive, week in week out !?

By leading our team for tackles
Being top 3 for clearances, cont poss and pressure acts

I’m afraid when Sammy moves the magnets around, it appears the No.11 is first picked, rather them give Hustwaite a run in the midfield hasn't really been given fair go at it, all his AFL games his either been the sub or been subbed out

 

[Dazza the Viking]

By leading our team for tackles
Being top 3 for clearances, cont poss and pressure acts

Pity his disaposal is very average

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Zero fanfare on the socials or website about Dear debuting despite it being a pretty special story - I dare say he’d be an emergency.

I think Phillips and Ramsden have be two of them plus Ward and Dambrosio. Watson as sub. Would rather Gunston out and Dear in.

How does No.11 survive, week in week out !?

Because no one else wants to get their hands dirty?

 

[westhawk]

Pity his disaposal is very average

Opposition teams don’t care if he gets it, as they know he is going to give it straight back a lot of the time.

 

[Cleavy]

that's the weirdest spine I've seen in a while

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Feel sorry for Hustwaite, close to our best player for BH and not named in our 27 man squad, on the back of our midfield being ordinary this season other than beating up on the Kangaroo Kids who will be lucky to win a game this season

 

[Delecate Des]

I reckon we win this one

Surely if Phillips was playing, there would of been an announcement that he was making his debut

His time will come.

Could come tomorrow.

Add Serong, not a lot of perseverance.

 

[HedgeFund]

He lays a few tackles and blocks. Permanent midfielders should be doing a lot more than he does

They should be getting 32 disposals!

…….

Like he did against North - in our only win.
