it was 4 (Blight) but I get your driftOnly had 3 eligible AFL players in the 2's last week and one of them (OHB) got injured. Coulthard ordinary and Bauer should be in the firsts. Hard to pull up your pants if you are not wearing any.
He is there to get pick 1, right?Agree with all the praise and I’ve loved his career and never had a bad word about KMac
In the next five games though I’d prefer his spot went to a kid who potentially could still be with us in 2-3 years when Kamdyn most certainly will not
Could have promoted the Doc, mid season but didn't. Reckon he could elevate rapidly to an AFL wing role, but we've now got to hope he doesn't get hoovered up by some cockaroach recruiter in November.Do we have any of them in the VFL who we want to promote? Im pretty sure any kid we want to be playing AFL is playing AFL.
Does anyone really believe McIntosh is the answer as a forward moving forward?
imo it was a missed chance to look at a kid like Bauer someone who may be there long term. I find it bemusing that we would play Kamdyn there when such an obvious tall choice is staring us in the face.
Calm down then - he won’t beIf McIntosh is a part of the best 22 next year then it’s going to be a long long rebuild. We have to make tough calls and this is not even a tough call.
It’s gonna be a long long rebuild regardless of whether KMac is on the list or not.If McIntosh is a part of the best 22 next year then its going to be a long long rebuild. We have to make tough calls and this is not even a tough call.
It has to include our coaching panel as well. It is stale and we need some up and coming new blood with fresh ideas t help YzeIt’s gonna be a long long rebuild regardless of whether KMac is on the list or not.
We need mature bodies. He’s the least of our problemsIf McIntosh is a part of the best 22 next year then its going to be a long long rebuild. We have to make tough calls and this is not even a tough call.
We do but there are plenty of mature bodies on the list that offer more and im not sure a wingman that barely lays body on anyone is doing much at all. Training standards is about all he offers these daysWe need mature bodies. He’s the least of our problems
Yes, I doubt KMac kept Bauer out of the team. But like Pickett before him he is being shuffled around to fill holes, and to allow us to do what we want to do with our young players.I don't think anyone thinks he's the answer moving forward, but he is a role player and does it adequately. I agree that Bauer should get games but he's coming off multiple long term injuries and needs to prove his fitness in the VFL first. Despite apparently kicking 1 goal and several behinds I reckon Bauer is tracking for a couple of senior games before the end of the season. Whether that means Kamdyn is dropped in his place is debatable though.

We have an abundance of mature bodies not a good reason to keep a player anyway. Oh look hes a mature body best we hang onto him.We need mature bodies. He’s the least of our problems
We played 10 kids yesterday. That’s an abundance of immature bodies.We have an abundance of mature bodies not a good reason to keep a player anyway. Oh look hes a mature body best we hang onto him.
Nope he is very much a part of the problem and he has been for a long while.
I dont reckon it is even about necessarily being competitive. But you need some sort of structure otherwise you cant even attempt to play to a game plan. And structure probably requires 3 or 4 options up forward who can at least compete in the air.This is a reasonable way to interpret how these guys are being used right now.
I'm all for getting games into the kids but we still need to be (somewhat) competitive and not throw young 'uns totally to the wolves.
