Really? Seemed pretty obvious to me. What is your opinion on why McBean isn't being selected then?

To me (and others it seems) it reads that your argument is that McBean needs to perform in the reserves in the now (past performances are irrelevant) to earn a spot in the senior team.

My response to your argument was to show you a number of scenarios with other young players where that hasn't been the case.

Hi thejinx,
My opinion FWIW is that McBean should not need top form in the reserves to get a gig as Vickery doesn't need top form to stay in the seniors to begin with.
It's time to test some of these players out and chop the one's who have had multiple chances and simply not delivered over and over again.
That's my two cents worth.

That's a what a lot of us have been saying... There are a few on here defending the non-selection of McBean by saying he hasn't been performing in the reserves.

My argument is 1. It doesn't seem to matter how you're performing in the reserve if you want a spot in the seniors, and 2. Regardless, he has been perfoming, and has been the best performing player in our reserves for the past 2 years.

But never gets a game.

Same goes for Markov, Marcon and Castagna.

No wonder the supporters (like myself) are getting frustrated with this current regime.

That's news to me. Please show me a link so I can see the EXACT comment in context. I tried to search but it didn't show up.

Click the quote I posted in my previous thread.

I quoted the entire sentence, so the context is there for everyone to see.

You said exactly what you are now saying you didn't.
 
Release McBean.....it's happening people!!!


Liam McBean
19 disposals, two goals, five marks, three clearances

Played one of his most consistent games for the year. He had 19 disposals and ended up with five marks, plus 2.2, but he gave away three others directly through handball or unselfish play. He’s starting to work like an AFL footballer and he looks ready for an AFL opportunity if it presents.

Even a highlight video on the website. Could this be the end of the farce?

Oh FFS. Why would anyone put a rider like this on a player report when the seniors n especially a key forward are going so poorly?

Finals are *smile*, there's senior players giving us bugger all at the moment. Pull the finger out of the clacker n throw a bunch of senior positions open to the magoos n youngsters brave enough to demand them by showing some form. It's frigging easy now, not rocket science n doesn't need to be equivocated over.
Beanie, done well give him a senior game.
George, done well give him a senior game.
Daniel R, done well give him a senior game.
We could easily fudge a reason to throw a game or two at Markov, Drummond n C Moore in coming weeks if we wanted too. There's enough just marking time in the seniors that could do with a freshen up on the early shift.
 
From what i saw last week in the reserves he should play griff and vickery did nothing like they have done all year. Should be told to pack their bags

Think Jinx has hooked one.

Glad someone recognised the trolling. Actually it's more deliberate dishonesty and false accusations. Gotta wonder sometimes. ::)
 
McBean will be a superstar.

The shackles of his early career will be forgotten soon.

I can see him matching Jack's goal and assist average.

Superstar.

Hope you're correct. I notice the shift from is to will be. Fingers crossed you're more accurate about the future than some have been about the past. Hopefully the extra developmont has done him good.

Eat 'em Alive big fella.

If he does I don't suppose there's any chance you'd put it down to player development? :hihi

Entirely my error. I mean is, but it will be more apparent to fans when he is able to work with fellow artists like Jack ;D

Just doesn't fit this thread. Here, this is a lot more apt.

Each to their own, but I feel the girly-action of Jamelia's "Superstar" best suits BS's intent.
