So you gave 5 for Kossies game and zero for Ryan's. Sounds about right. Might have given Kossie a 6 even, for the contests he provided.Agreed but they are trying stuff without actually knowing if it will help them win. Balta and Kosi would have been a much stronger pairing but they wanted to see if Ryan and Kosi could work.
I would give it a 5/10 on the day
Would really like them to just bite the bullet and play Balta forward for the rest of the year or until Lynch gets back if ever.
Play a third very mobile tall forward like Bauer who takes a vey good grab with Balta and Kossie.
We need to have a good look at this kid as well. He looks more likely than Ryan.
As an afl player so far Ryan is a total bust. People really should be questioning the wisdom of giving him a three year contract rather than blindly defending that decision.
It was Based on what.
Ryan is so clearly not at the level atm it is best we develop him as the #1 ruckman in the vfl.
You really have to ask , Does he have the attributes to play key forward at the highest level.
His last 8 games have been awful and that is being kind.
Take a longer look and maybe worst case scenario. Lynch goes or stays injury prone. Then what. Tom is 32 this year.
Balta at least long term is replaceable down back with one of the most promising key defenders we have had in years in Gibcus.
Developing him forward makes sense. It may not be whats best for Noah but it will be whats best for the club.
