Rd 14 vs Brisbane Lions @ Gabba - Match Thread

[Roadrunner]

I actually like a lot about Wicks' game,but he does so many dumb things. He contributed to a couple of losses ( or near losses) last year with his indiscretions. When he returned to the VFL he was at it again, giving away needless penalties. He's not Toby Greene. He is not good enough to wait for him to reform. We have plenty of players who could take his place. We have an excess of outside players who can move to our forward line. Both Stephens' and Gould could be given stints in the forward line in the hope of improving their chances of retention.

What can you possibly like about Wicks’ game? Yes, he kicks the odd good goal. He runs around a lot chasing shadows. Occasionally he actually catches an opponent but then tackles high or has a brain fade. He gives momentum back to our opponents. Sorry but he is the worst player for us since we’ve been in Sydney. Now he has 2 weeks to think about the rest of the year after which he should be delisted- just a liability we need like a hole in the head.

On a brighter note, thank you Harry for a fantastic game- simply great and hope you keep it going. Shout out to Rowy, Parks, Errol and young Gus who gave their all. Our first quarter and a half was great but our forwards couldn’t capitalise as the Lions’ Defense was very good. As the matched progressed their class became apparent and despite some shocking umpiring against us, they were the better team.

JMac disappeared after the first half; Lloyd had a shocker; Wilbur should be in the ressies; Francis struggled and I never want to see Wicks in our seniors ever again!
Overall our effort was ok but we have too many of our good players out and are carrying passengers we can ill afford.

I would keep him for depth. Don't reckon he's on much money. Hard as nails and his good games are top notch. Agree his nasty streak is a worry but worth another year.

Bit harsh; but I would keep him in the VFL, until he demonstrates that he can get through a few games without any late hits or unnecessary aggro.

For sure. Harry is the fastest guy in the team and should be on the fastest forwards. Charlie Cameron, who can really motor,
just could not shake him.

His role is lockdown and his first example was agaisnt Stephen Hill years ago.
Thats his role he is appreciated there, he gets criticism when heis used in another way, a bit like with Fox. They have a role and Limitations, dont expose them
