Harsh but probably fairly close to the mark. Towner rummaged around at GeeWhizz for a bit n then rummaged around a bit for us without really being noticed. Fell into a perfect hole when Cads got suspended n for a few weeks was bloody unbelievable. Disappeared this year virtually as quickly as he exploded onto the comp last year unfortunately. Happy to keep Towner on the list for next year if he can't find another club, but he'd want to find that something special again if he wants senior games.tigertough12 said:
Am a fan of Towna but his career can be summed up in 5 games.
Great if he stays, best of luck if he moves on.

Well we know what Towner can produce but he couldn’t get anywhere near that level of form this year - so I am glad I saw his purple patch, it was great why it lasted but I don’t want to be like the doggies who held onto players who couldn’t replicate their premiership form for far too long.
I have absolutely no problems rolling through players on our squad who are not currently in our best 22.
Menadue- well the club must believe that he can still build to his purple patch and therefore has more upside than Towner.
I think also that now we are a top 4 team, the talent of those 23 -28 ranked players are so much better than what we are used to but we need this group to improve to the point where they push and compete with our 18 - 22 ranked players and ultimately replace them, obviously the club believe Towner, Miles etc can’t do that
Towner is up against Lynch for a spot. Not going to happen.
Sydney may not have the same queue of players.
Hell this year George and Butler will be going head to head for a spot.

Sadly, he is a victim of expectation after his heroics to finish 2017. It was always going to be tough for him.
I know that I am as fair-minded as anyone, but I had him as favourite for the 2018 Coleman Medal. Imagine what the non-fair minded fans were thinking!

The beauty of the footy dept is that, as you rightly point out, they do know best.artball said:
Al of the decisions that have been made over the last 4-5 years have been excellent apart from a couple of selections that flopped, but they steered us to a flag.
Eat 'em alive...

Hampson was backup when 2 rucks were still in vogue. The game changed and he got injured all at the same time.
Yarran was why Dan Richo got demoted. As far as mistakes go that was gold plated.
To de-list someone who maybe the hardest impact tackler I've seen, worries me, especially with our sketchy back up list.
He tackles everyone like they are a training padded bag, no consideration for his well being. I'd like to think we could do something with him to complement that.
