Bombers game he played ok creates more goals than he kicks will take time need to persist last week was a write off for all our forwards.
I thought he competed well, fluffed some kicks at goal, needs a bigger tank and body. But I don't have a messiah complex nor do I mark against him due to the hype. He's a good prospect but not there yet.

Beggars belief with some, Dimma is the flinders street station of RFC, all lines lead to him!! Whilst im ready for a change not all issues can be laid at his feet..
Actually dilutes their suggestions and arguments people have on normal issues due to pushing unbalanced views on others..

Exactly right.
Instead of integrating him into the team and giving him the kind of opportunities Vickery and Griffiths have had (for limited output with a handful of decent games), we are going to judge a 202cm beanpole on a 3 game block.
WB - kicked a goal but looked very nervous (understandable when you've been publicly given a 3 week deadline to 'make it')
Ess - just an ok game
Haw - more involved, missed a couple of easy shots in a forward line that struggled from limited opportunity

Poor kid is at the eye of the sh!tstorm.
If hed strung 3 games in a winning side on the cusp of finals, where he didnt set the world in fire, showed the glimpses he
has, everyone would be pretty happy
Forget the pre deity gags nobbling him, Our chronic talls crisis, precipitated by the demise of tv and grifter, which havnt been greatly exagerrated, is what makes it so tough. Hes playing no1 tall really, in game 5.
So, yeah. Messiahs dont come along when things are going swimmingly.
Im sticking to script
Dropping him for Ty would be madness. It's pretty clear that the club and Ty can't get away from each other quick enough.
Carry the kid for the rest of the year. We carried Griffiths for longer, showing less.
And he hasn't been great and he hasn't bee terrible. Glimpses. The finishing is the issue. Got to make his chances count.

Can only be explained by the mental demons....kicking for goal with the southern stand full of people is a bit different to kicking for goal with cars driving past at Punt Rd

Massive oval Manuka. Played on it in my younger days.
Very much like the G. Big wings and pockets. Plenty of space for a player like McBean to lead into if he can.
If Lennon had been fit, I'd have dropped McBean for him. Ty doesn't deserve a recall from what I saw at Punt Rd last Sunday.
Unsighted for 3 quarters, snapped a fluke goal and kick another from a chest mark lead. Dropped plenty of other marking opportunities.
If McBean gets one more, so be it but can't see him making it. Poor overhead and in contested marking situations - works/tries harder than Vickery and has a crack in the ruck but after four years in the system, his body shape is pretty poor.

Far out, the season is gone.
We know what we get with Vickery, which ain't much.
Why wouldn't you just play him for the remaining games and let him attack the footy with confidence?
By all means reset the first 22 come October and tell him he needs to work his way into Round 1.
Sheesh, he's only a kid. Perfect time to see what he's got.

I don't really care which team Liam plays in. There are pros and cons for both but in reality we wouldn't have a clue what would suit his development best. I just hope he knows our plans for the future. With a few kids being re-signed today I'd be hoping for news about Liam soon. Then he can settle in for some hard work ready for next year.
