Bit hard to defend when May and Lever taking marks at will.Your right he's not a natural fwd but thats not what he's in the side for.Leave the natural fwd stuff too the likes of Bolton/MJ etc.

Sadly, The Cummerbund had a fairly similar game impact as what Nigel did. Problem is the Cummer only managed it at magoos level not seniors.
Thats how I saw his game too. He was in the right places but we couldn't bring the ball to ground. Even when Naismith and Lefau were in the right spots to compete, May, Lever and McDonald are too smart and experienced to let them get to the ball. They are smart with the way they block, I saw it numerous times, where 1 blocked for the other, but they are smart in that they make it look like they are competing for the mark when they aren't hence the umps are highly unlikely to pay a free.
I'd love to see a breakdown of where they took their marks, the vast majority would have been intercept marks in our F50, but May took 12, Lever took 10, McDonald had 8, Rivers took 12 etc. There were a lot of marks taken by their backmen, meaning that the ball wasn't coming to ground for the smalls.
You could have played Eddie Betts, Peter Daicos and Cyril Rioli in there and they'd have had a similar impact to Mansell. Was not a good day to be a small, probably 1 of the hardest places to play as a small right now, is in our F50. Our midfield didn't help with a lot of dump kicks into the forward line that made it easy for the Melbourne backline to put those blocks on and take the intercept mark.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
When Danny was in attacking 50 you could see the standard Of chasing that Mansell doesn’t bring. Campbell either. Coulthard, please.
I don‘t think it’s much of a stat if you playing small forward . But to be honest none of our forwards and a day out
That was more than Grimes 32 metres.
At one point stood still whilst rioli was looking for options to.pass to.Mansell had a paddock to himself to.lead into but actually walked and stood behind his opponeng.Alarming in lack of any clue what he needed to do...lead..
Just drop him and give cumbo 6 weeks

Please. Give me a dangerous but erratic player anyday over a dime a dozen good VFL player
He isn't a foward and definitely he isn't a midfielder.
The longer Yze persists with him the sooner Yze will get the ass.
