Goodbye Mabior Chol

[22nd Man]

Chol showed his real deficiencies under full spotlight. I think Toby goes solo. Having Dave back gives us the option of Him, Noah and Lynchy providing occasional chop out.

CCJ must be ruing his indiscretion. Tailor made for him.

But how do we know CCJ was up to it?
We saw this sort of output from Mabs earlier in year and CCJ wasn't brought in then.

I was just answering TjsFurrow question "Miller time?"

Miller couldn't do any worse. Mabs was pathetic today........again.

My point, tman, was Miller has done worse, at VFL level, more than once.

 

[Ridley]

To play Mabior's Advocado,

maybe, just maybe, he didn't handle the Full Forward role?

He looked all at sea, out of his depth, largely hopeless.

maybe we give him one more chance with Lynchy back and he plays a 3rd tall and backup ruck?

Im clutching at straws, I know,

But the thought of 1 ruckman terrifies me, like it always did.

you're only 1 injury away from disaster

we may get a way with it against Brisbane, but Port would bully us I reckon

I'd rather try and get Grigg back than play with a 2nd ruckman that doesn't have a crack.

 

[22nd Man]

He doesn't like the wet. Unfortunately for Mabs, no gorgeous, dry, September afternoons at the G this year.

I'm with you on the one ruck, though.

He got a dry track tonight.

Hasn't Chol as well?

 

[spook]

He got a dry track tonight.

Na, it was wettish. They watered the ground before the game (see everyone slipping over), then it rained a bit.

Didn't it?

 

[tha8ball]

With Astbury back they would have to consider Balta being the relief ruck and playing Broad or Markov as cover in the backline. I like Chol but tonight reaffirmed exactly what I feared we might get from him.

 

[22nd Man]

I would seriously ( don’t laugh ) rookie list Majak for next year.

54 games in 11 years.....

 

[toothless]

It's worth reminding everyone Chol isn't a ruckman. I can't see Balta's 20/30% of a chop out any worse than Chol.

 

[spook]

Hasn't Chol as well?

Mate, there is no way Miller is debuting in a final.

 

[spook]

It's worth reminding everyone Chol isn't a ruckman. I can't see Balta's 20/30% of a chop out any worse than Chol.

I think that's the most likely outcome.

 

[Baloo]

Mate, there is no way Miller is debuting in a final.

I can't see Chol playing in one

 

[daniel30]

Give the role to Broad his played it before provides contest no matter what and Dimma said training in that role to.

 

[Rancey18]

It's worth reminding everyone Chol isn't a ruckman. I can't see Balta's 20/30% of a chop out any worse than Chol.

The difference is we can then pick another player who will actually have a crack and contribute.

 

[22nd Man]

Na, it was wettish. They watered the ground before the game (see everyone slipping over), then it rained a bit.

Didn't it?

They would have to have watered it as there has been zero rain Adelaide since last Sunday.

 

[artball]

lazy. did the opposite of what he should've. i hate dissing players but that was rubbish.

 

[Dont Argue]

yeah Im very nervous going in with 1 ruckman.

with Dave back, Noah looked a bit superfluous.

maybe, just maybe, he does swing into the role?

would be too audacious I think

I dunno.

Necessity is the mother of invention.
We lose Soldo and DTLD comes back, whilst Balta looks a little lost tonight playing 4th defender. Played on a more mobile target than he’s used to and got lost in traffic at times.
He’s now the logical 2nd ruckman.
You know it makes sense.

 

[Jason King]

We can't be risking Balta, Lynch or running Nakas into the ground. That's why it's so disappointing that Chol didn't bust his ass.

 

[spook]

I can't see Chol playing in one

That's a different argument. It's not Chol v Miller, it's Chol v not Chol

 

[Baloo]

That's a different argument. It's not Chol v Miller, it's Chol v not Chol

Not Chol should be a given. Who or what if not Chol is the debate. Miller is an option. Might be the worst option, but if Nank goes down wouldn't you have rather tested Miller to see what he can do?
