Still not sure how he even got into the side on 1/2 a quarter in the VFL. Shocked Rolling Eyes

I used to be undecided, but now I'm not so sure.

Dumb selection, but we got a bit light on for medium to small defenders. Lost Sinkers, Ramsey & Seedsman. Wasn't many others to choose from.

Could have picked Fasolo to play back and got a better return. And Fasolo isn't a natural backman...

Good skills when no pressure on him.
Too soft. Not a smart player.

I saw him in a practice game last year against Geelong at Geelong. He had no game awareness and when under pressure looked like a rabbit in headlights and constantly turned the ball over when under pressure. Fast forward 15 months to tonight and he had no game awareness and when under pressure looked like a rabbit in headlights and constantly turned the ball over when under pressure. At least he is consistent

He wasn't the reason we lost but never looked likely to be really damaging either.

I would have preferred De Goey around the coal face or Marsh.

Marsh is still a work in progress but he's quick, tall and athletic and I can't see why we couldn't use him in a different position other than defence like a defensive forward.

He reminds me a lot of Lumumba in the early stages of his career.

Raw but you can see the potential and he has a spark about how he plays.

If he plays AFL Game again for us. It be a Joke.

We have Kids that are way better then Him.

Marsh or De Goey would been better

Agree he wasn't the reason we lost but he had no impact or you could say input into the side. Good at VFL level, but not up to AFL level. Had a few good games towards the end of last season when we had no one left.


Time to give others a crack

not so sure about that….Fasolo is piss weak when pressure is applied. At least Armstrong tried to get the ball.

He's to soft-to small and isn't quick, not good under pressure either, I've seen some doozy selections under Bucks but this one takes the cake, seriously on what planet does Armstrong get a game before Degoey?

Didn't think he was the worst. Shows how far Seedsman has come with his dash of half back and even Sinclair to some extent.

Hats off for the thread title!

Would have rather seen others ahead of him.
