George has to get better with composure and conversion but he wants to get involved. I reckon he can get better at these things with more games at the level. He is a terrific mark for his size and I prefer him to Butler if it came down to the 2 of them. But I'd play them both and drop B Ellis and give them some time in open space.

He's kicked 11 goals in 9 games. How many Richmond players kicked 10 goals last season? I'll guess six (Jack, Lloyd, Griff, Ty, Grigg, Chimp. Dusty didn't). He's on track for 27 for the year.
It's hard to get a kick in our forward line, the way we bomb it to the outnumber. I'd keep him in (especially given the alternatives). If Butler is right, maybe give him a freshen up in the twos to give $hai another go.

?? we're comparing missed sodas aren't we ToO, not career stats. george is no world beater but he's been good and won't be dropped. need more like him, not less.
if we're gonna pick deflating moments, I'd argue dusty's was worse.
lol right back at ya buddy! ;D
willo said:
where's all this coming from Willo, you Lambo's brother or summin?
don't care either way, george is what he is, a chaos machine who can do the dynamically unexpected (who knew he had such a neat left foot?) and the abysmal within a minute. I like him, all teams need players like that.
lambo, on the other hand, is just a dud.
d. u. d.
sorry bud, the lambo appreciation society is a rundown shack in broadmeadows :hihi
willo said:
Remind him how good Bellis is going at the moment. A "jet", according to the Baron. Mind you, Bellis was part of the top four list that Carts thought we had until a week ago when he did the biggest backflip of all time and told us we needed a full rebuild :hihi
antman said:
It's not too late for Brandon to realise his potential. Good player, started off as a jet and could be again.
As for willo's call to drop george, I can only say that is misguided.
Even you got George right this week, though I suspect you read a few others posts first.
antman said:
Nice try, but no, I actually said we look way short of top four in this campaign.
Lack of midfield depth and marking support being red alert areas.
Baron Samedi said:
Strange, I recall you saying we need a full rebuild. Oh look, here's the thread - FULL REBUILD http://puntroadend.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=53165.0
Anyway, George is doing OK. Would be nice if he got his hands on it more - I'm not convinced he can ever transition to midfield so he'll be to be the sharpest of sharp small forwards to build a career. Brando? His career has been trending down for three years - maybe he was overrated to begin with, but he's never going to be a "jet". Like I keep saying, his kicking is shizen and he keeps proving me right every week.
antman said:
I've already said we were challengers in previous seasons, not so much this year. Yes, a full rebuild might be required as we may not be able to rectify current issues before the big four are declining.
Don't expect you to understand, Antman.
Baron Samedi said:
Dude, I told you only a month ago that we wouldn't challenge until we had a decent marking forward to support Reiwoldt.
This guy, repeats what others have been saying for months, then reckons he should get the Nobel Prize for stating the obvious.

No, not quite. We had Tuck, Jacko, etc as depth in 2013 and better tall support in 2015.
Plus, the rest of the comp was different too. Can't look at us in isolation.
We finished fifth in 2013 and 2015. Top four was beckoning and probably should've been made considering some losses.
Can't see it happening this year and the clock keeps ticking for the big four.
Hence rebuild comes into the picture.
toby64 said:
last year I am prepared to concede, but not before then. from 2013-15 we had a fair dinkum chance to go deep and we blew it.
