Re: Time to elevate Arnot?
Yes that's true. But since there was no-one else to upgrade what was there to lose in doing so? May as well see what he's got. As some have pointed out he performed the defensive forward role a lot better than Morris did.

Re: Time to elevate Arnot?
im in the not a fan category. you can claim he should be played in the midfield, but as a half forward he should have been around plenty of contests and stoppages, and besides a few big tackles he just doesnt seem to impact them.
he lacks speed, his skills- despite having a good looking action and drilling the occasional kick- are average. he lacks awareness. just dont think he has the skill set to be a good player.

Re: Time to elevate Arnot?
Give him 4 games in a row (not sub) if at the end of it he is not up to AFL standard stamp his papers and give a kid a go.
But the reality is he is highly likely to be dropped so that Morris can play forward again and get less possessions, make fewer tackles and not trouble the scorers.

Re: Time to elevate Arnot?
let me just check what i said about morris before rd 1. ;D
i reckon neither of them is a good option in the forward line. but i would rather Morris in the 22. despite his PREnemy No1 status, i reckon he can still do a decent job down back. at the very least until we have a better small lockdown option.

He nailed McDonough after the Kangaroos embarrassment last year. I'm sure he'll get him again. :

Re: Time to elevate Arnot?
Perfect conditions for his skill set Friday night an other then a very good goal , he was simply woeful, I know others see things in him, I see nothing at all too work with at AFL level

Re: Time to elevate Arnot?
Yep. People wonder why we can't improve. We cut the bloke from our list but then rookie him. Why can I ask already knowing he is not up to AFL standard?CC TIGER said:

and he didn't even iron out Vince (who played well btw)

Re: Time to elevate Arnot?
That was probably the biggest disappointment for me he did not cause any carnage, I've seen him at VFL hit hard, maybe AFL just that big quick for him.Tigers of Old said:

Yep, the chances were there to offer Cotchin some cover, some chop out call it what you will, was not sighted doing any of it from what I could tell - one cuddle with Nathan Jones - if more wasn't asked of Arnott in this regard, why not? Would play McDonough 10 times before this bloke.

Re: Time to elevate Arnot?
he put a really big hit on Jones just after Jones mauled him on the ground. It was just at the edge of the screen. Jones took some time to get up.CC TIGER said:
