I agree with you. His attitude to Rowie is pathological. I have lambasted players usually in the heat of the match, lack of effort etc. Or for form problems, Blakey etc. But if they come back and perform then I am happy they fixed their game. When Will Hayward was running around like a Chook with no head I called for him to go back and get form in the reserves. I never doubted the Boy's ability one minute. Just his effort.
I am not sold on Gray, Taylor or Clarke as I believe they have limited ability. But if they come in and are able to perform role well and good. Clarke proved to be a fairly good tagger but his disposal is still only about 50% effective. I see the reason for Bell's selection as he performs a role in blocking hunting down opponents etc as a defensive forward. Rowie is a very talented player. He us carrying injury or soreness at the moment or recovering from injury. He will be better the more footy he gets into him.
In the mean time Chaddy is back in the reserves. This is good news, if they ever get to play. I really believe there are few players on our list that do not have a6n up side. McLean, Amartey, Gould, O'Connor, Sheather, Corruthers etc. All good pick ups who have needed or do need time to develop.

Hopefully the club has organised for ALL players to come to Melbourne - can't have that farce that occurred when some went to Newcastle. We still need depth players for injuries etc. Plus the development of young blokes has probably been terrible over the last 18 months. I know its a minor thing in the whole scheme of the pandemic but we need to do the best we can.
How do reckon we will play with no crowd?
I think some players need the crowd noise (positive or negative) to get them going. Buddy seems like the type who lifts or plays in response to the drama generated by the crowd.
Will tomorrow’s game have the intensity of a practice match or will the players be able to lift to the occasion (with top 4 up for grabs)?
[QUOTE=TheBloods;825636]Your right i am pleased that hes not in the team because its the best thing for HIM ! If someone is out of form and out of position then the best thing they can do is go back to the lower league and either learn their position better or find a new position . This is all i wanted for him from the start and maybe if it had happened sooner when i was calling for it to happen , then maybe he wouldnt be where he is now . Which is out of the team with a month til finals
