12 touches for CEllis with only 4 marks is a worry for me, if his working hard he should be getting a lot more easy marks, 8 tackles is a positive , did he run with somebody again ?

Graham 30 to 40 minutes of footy 7 touches , 3 tackles not a bad start asking as he pulled up ok .

Markov, 4 outside 50s 4 insides , sounds like his running hard.

Stengle 6 shots at goal, that's a good sign as generally his silk with his disposal.

Ellis is delist material
 
Bring in Morris. Nice stats with 20 touches, 4 goals etc. kicks straight! (That shocking shot for goal in Adelaide earlier this year was an aberration)

Just shows that looking at the stats from VFL games can be very misleading. Same as looking at the stats from junior competitions. That's what our recruiters do, and look at the result.

Stats are stats. Footy skills are footy skills. They are not the same.

Morris and Hunt are cut from the same cloth. They're good, even outstanding at VFL, but have proven time and again that they can't cut it at AFL. I suspect Lennon may be the same.

Better than nothing .At least it gives you some idea of what they did. It's like reading a match report, it's someone's opinion. If you don't have the opportunity to actually watch the game live, it's the best you've got. Might not be the be all and end all, but it gives you some indication.

he won't be around next year. He hates Hardwick and Hardwick hates him

Same thing was said last year. He shopped himself around publicly but needed to come back with his tails between hos legs because no one wanted him
 
Strained his hamstring this morning after being named on the extended bench. Rotten luck.
That won't make it any easier for him to force his way into the team let alone remain on the list at year's end..

Wonder if the new coach will keep him?

pretty unlucky.

Ive met a few unlucky, ex-footballers. They are not uncommon.

Pretty good chance the Vibrancy ( almost misspelled it ) will be disposed of before the new coach arrives.
 
Has Lennon been tried behind the ball? Seems stupid when he is a forward and we desperately need a marking forward but its either that or the tip- it appears.
 
VFL form has been outstanding.

Eight or nine I'd get rid of before him.

Would defs give another year & do it now.

I agree.

I would give him another year. Been consistently good at vfl level.
