As I have said previously, NATHAN FOLEY DOES NOT HURT YOU with his possessions. His indecisions, taking to long to get rid of the ball, his kicking to position and HIS HOSPITAL HANDBALLS have been critical. Send him to GC17, as quick as possible. Take Moore, Dirty Sanchez, Pettifer and Collins with him. JUST SICK AND TIRED of watching the ball being turned over. I might be mistaken BUT I dont think CUZ turned the ball over once and his kicks and handballs usually went to a Richmond player. Take note FOLEY, watch his tapes over and over till U understand. 30 possessions I just saw on TV, What a joke.

You need to pull your head out of your bum
Few have the penetration, line breaking, hard ball getting ability Foley does,
Kel Moore is a superior defender
Collins is a young bloke who has done some very good things this year
Sanchez and pettrified they can have !!!
Think about what your posting before you type it!!!

Re: Over rated.
No hes not ,Collins use and decision making when hes got the ball is pathetic. He looks slow and out of his depth!Jezza81 said:

Re: Over rated.
What you base this on one game and a few turnovers? You gotta be kidding me, what player doesnt turn over the ball a few times. He has ball getting ability and most times uses it extremely well. We were playing one of the better sides tonoight whose pressure after half time was extreme.

I don't think Foley is overated and I can bet the opposition wouldn't think so either.

Those making the 'Dud' call on Collins clearly have no idea. The kid is in his 4th or 5th game and is still learning what AFL is all about. But watching you can see that he has a football brain and his body in the next 2 to 3 years will develop nicely. He will be one to watch make no mistake about that.
Oh and those who are bagging Collins but want Buckley as coach. Guess what Collins will be here to stay. Buckley is a fan of the kid and so he should be.

Oldie thinks we should look to trade him to a contender.

Foley's disposal by foot has been horrible all year and may need a run at coburg to get some confidence in his kicking. Overall this year he has become our clanger king. He is leading clangers at the club and when you back out frees against from the clanger calculation, it gets worse (especially when you compare against tuck and jackson).
Clg FA ClgexclFA Kicks Hballs
Foley 40 14 26 110 183
Tuck 32 15 17 126 180
Lids 27 4 23 135 112
Jackson 36 19 17 149 116
Stats don't tell the whole story, but I think foley's foot disposal has been one of our key midfield problems this year.

Another astute observation from a supporter of the RFC. Oh I am assuming you are a supporter.

What is it about the RFC - why do we always get players that can get the ball but cant dispose of it properly. Its deja vu.
I shudder when I see the clanger kings of Foley, Tuck and Jackson - between them they can get 100 touches, and when they are not kicking a clanger, they are kicking up and unders to contests, chipping sideways or skewing handballs off target. RARELY a penetrating long kick to advantage.
Trade them all to GC17.
