Goodbye Mabior Chol

What's happened here?
Mid season he was lighting it up. Now he's struggling to get a touch.
Did the mid season controversy have a bigger effect than first thought because the drop off has been marked.
i think some are over stating his form. he showed flashes, but that is all.

Can still trade...

No one in their right mind would trade a can of sardines for this guy! You would have to be dumb and desperate to even think of...
... anyone call North yet?

I was just looking up contract statuses and FMD if Chol doesn't have another year to go. We extended him last year.
Would only be on a base salary n match payments, emergency role player n hole filler if we have some injury n form issues. Big enough to play KPP/Ruck but most times I've seen him play he seems more like a HFF, maybe we're playing him out of position.
 
Hate to say it but this bloke reminds me of Ty Vickery, big as a tree but you can tell he doesn't like rucking. Up forward no urgency in going for ball at all, I don't think I have seen him sprint on a football ground.
 
Delisting or trade get better value from wafl,sanfl,vfl or a kid not getting a game at other club.
 
Replay on. Drops a sitter in 1st qtr when he didn’t attack ball in the air.

Free kick against vlastuin a joke

Zorko is a dead set *smile*. After a free or Brisbane mark his first response is to goad the opposition. Uber bogan is he.

Nank a poor free in the middle for a high tackle. The 50 against Shai was there. Dumb.

The 50 against dusty tough
 
Should have been 50 to kmac. Ump said in the contest when it was clearly not.

Missed 50 against Robinson after Pickett Mark. He ran straight over the mark claiming it was touched. Why no 50?

I have, he's quick for a big fella. He's usually pretty well balanced, good below his knees, mobile as n a beautiful simple kick of the pill. Not so good in heavy traffic, contested marking n rucking. That's why I seem to feel he'd be better utilised playing a high half forward role roaming up to wing or coming back to a pocket without the congested heat on him.
 
Pickett tackle on Rich not rewarded in middle. Brisbane goal moments later after poor Nank handball. A goal to the umps.
 
Mcinnerny actually got Martin high in ruck contest but got a free after martins arm went back a grabbed the jumper.

Assuming he plays, I expect Andrews will play on (and off) him and try to dominate on intercept. If so Chol's job will be to get dangerous enough that Andrews has to worry about him, but also keep Andrews out of the way. and compete when the ball comes to them.
Chol failed. but tough job for a forward (who isnt Jack Riewoldt) to worry more about their opponent than the ball.

I know. But why is Martin taking a ruck contest when he more dangerous around the stoppages?

Yes, but the high contact on Martin came first and should have been paid.

Maybe Martin should have grabbed McInnerny's shorts, apparently that is allowed.
