He wasn't as bad as the naysayers are suggesting, but I would like him to hit the scoreboard a bit more. Definitely helped setup a couple though, Lefau's first goal comes to mind. I like him because he's hard at it and doesn't give up, reminds me of Liam Baker in that regard, although not as naturally skilled. It was a tough day coming up against Melbourne's backline with so little quality tall support on our end so I'd keep him in for next week.

Useless. Absolutely useless. Let’s not beat around the bush - offers nothing. Please go & don’t come back
Struggled to have any impact.
I've liked a lot of his work this year but might need a spell for a week to see what others offer.
We have little to lose at this point than give players opportunity.

You serious ?
You actually go and watch the game
Played a defensive role at times
Also his spoil where he gathered his own crumb and handballed to Lefua was first class.
Campbell is the one that needs a rest
Been to most games over the last 45 years. I think we’ll disagree on this one. I’m sorry but Mansell offers nothing offensively to me. Can’t see the point to pley players to mitigate margins rather than win games.
He is a No good mate wake up
Doesn't kick goals.
Slow as shittt
Defensive role on who??
He watched Melbourne defenders mark the ball 3 times in the 1st half, he didn't attempt to jump.
I’ve watched his game if it can be called that He makes FAarts look like he should’ve been AA
Mansell is a battler offers nothing as a forward doesn’t kick goals
He’s a backman that we’re once again onto our 3rd coach want to turn into a forward
Give someone else a go
I love guys like Mansell because he is a wholehearted footballer. As others have mentioned he works so hard and does a lot of work without the ball that is very important.
The issue for me is that he is a limited AFL footballer despite all that. He is the classic 24-35 on the list player.
I don't want to be hard on him because I really admire his work ethic and attitude but I would play Coulthard for him or Campbell next match

And therein lies the answer to your question. WTF is a small defensive forward doing trying to play full forward on a key defender like May. No wonder the poor bugger can hardly get a possession with *smile* incoming ball, one extremely inexperienced key forward against two of the comps best tall defender combo in May n Lever. Perhaps he was simply busting his arse trying to help out in whatever way he could because due to injuries their was no other option.
Never get facts in the way of a good rant.
Who were our tall targets last night?
You know the ones that should at the very least bring the ball to ground for the likes of Mansell too at least have a chance to impact.
Besides he's doing the job what George/Mrj use to do.Its a graveyard role.
It was noticeable a few time in the first half he set up for the 'crumbing role" getting front and centre but Naismith and/or Kelts couldn't get to the contest and it was an easy intercept mark for the Dee's. Second half he contested some of those balls in though undersized. You can't blame him if the forward structure and incoming disposal isn't in line with gameplan/instructions. In another thread Sam's poor forward work is discussed. That cruelled Seth and Rhyan.
The
Important thing here is that the coaches will be fully aware of these facts
What’s Mansell going to do when the ball hits the ground He’s not a natural forward he just battles along
1 tackles against Dees last night he even failed as a defensive forward and no goals that’s pathetic
Mrj has gone well past him, mansell and Campbell spots should be under pressure
I don't deny Mansell is a trier but, for me, he brings little to the game bar a couple of nice cameo touches. I would rather see another cub (maybe Cumbo) taking his place as they should offer us more
