Time for Tommy Walsh!!!

Post: # 1084898Post saintbob »

Dawson is a joke, time for Tommy Walsh to get a crack!!!

Dawson gets thrown around like a rag doll and on the rare occasion he gets a kick he never knows what to do with it!!!

Dawson is non competitive at full back . Its about time we tried someone else . He is only competitive sometimes when he gets an unimpeded run at it . If it becomes a one on one put the glasses down . He is embarrassing.

Had a good first quarter, had a poor second, how many goals did Cloke kick in the third?

We need to develop Walsh in to a gorilla full back.
And yes, Dawson gives me the s***s. Gives his man way too much space.

Just have a look at the replay of the last quarter 13.37min mark, this will sum up what a DUD this bloke is!!

Get him out of the side immediately.......

Must keep moving forward- look to the future. I don't see us winning the flag this year. As eluded to, he's very good on the lead but is terrible under a high ball. Give Tommy a crack, keep grooming the like of Simpkin and to a lesser extent (more time req'd) Ferguson.

Does Dawson ever play in front?

Is it a directive not to, honest question?

Agree, agree. I think i have said this b4, ever since Maxy finished, he hadn't been the same coz he had a reason to play to earn his place, whereas now it's almost I'm the only one that can play here so I will stay in the side! IMHO

Well once again tomorrow's game becomes very important for a few players and for next week's team selection.

And for our club's future for that matter.

Will watch tomorrows game with interest

Brian Lake tore Walsh (and Simpkin) a newie when we played WIlly a couple of weeks ago and he went forward. Won every 1 on 1 contest against both of them

I suspect a real FF like Cloke might have wreaked even more carnage.

Simpkin had a far better game than Dawson. Did well on Dawes then got subbed off, should have been Dawson. The guy is in la la land.


Another opportunity awaits!

And Siposs would have done better than Dawson at fullback had he been given an opportunity there. Unfortunately Dawson is totally clueless and slow of mind

Disagree. Two of the first three goals from Collingwood came from direct mistakes made by Simpkin.

Not bagging him but still needs a bit of work to get to AFL level. He should have subbed off and was!

Unfortunately those have been Zac best games of his sh#%ful career, and just how long can you live on a couple of games???

I suppose Zac could look at Grammy for inspiration, he was able to get two years of playing sh#% footy for his game in 2009.

Going on that formula, Tommy should get a game in 2013!!!!!

So how does the ball get forward with such little pressure?

It's time for Tommy, if not for any other reason than he is another step in playing the kids.
