I think it's pretty obvious ... he can impact a game for a short while until he blows up, hence why he's sub so often. After weeks of being a sub, he drops back to teh reserves to build match fitness from 4 quarters of VFL football plus weekly training.

The bigger picture is his "engine" playing a quarter of footy compared to everyone else's near 4 quarters isn't going to help. Surely, playing him in the middle of the park in the VFL for four quarters would of benefited him more! |

So we play him as the sub so he gets further behind in fitness? Makes sense.
And what happens if we lose a player early? Mindbogglingly stupid from the club IMO.

What did I just say? He comes in to 'taste' AFL senior football as an impact player, then goes back to the reserves to maintain match fitness. His tank will come from miles in the legs during the week as well as match day.

Sounds perfectly logical, certainly more so than Bucks doesn't like him as some suggest. Pretty major surgery to both legs so maybe he's just taken time to build fitness. Same with PK. Seems to start games really well and fades later. |

Wasting your time. It gives him joy to assume everything at Collingwood is mismanagement and incompetence. Completely ignores any opinion that doesn't accord with that regardless of any evidence you might bring to the discussion. |

Some of you guys mirror that in opposite.

Some do, personally I'll discuss issues with anyone. I don't really care where I'm perceived to sit on that. A few I don't waste too much time with any more. |
