The Elephant In The Room

[Big Mac]

Just need to realise that he is a M8 player this year, not a M1-4 like we expect

As long as I can get my other 7 pumping out 100+ it should be fine, but it's def frustrating no doubt

Not even M8 standard for me

Unless he scores 160+, he is gone after next week

The difference is he isn't scoring goals like he has in the past

And I actually think having blicavs play on the ball is impacting him

And we saw last night, Blitz and (For some reason) Stanley are taking away contested possies and clearances that would go his way

Averaging 0.6 goals per game compared to 1 goal per game last year, and 13.6 contested possessions this year compared to 12.9 last year. 7.3 clearances this year compared to 6.4 last year

It's his uncontested numbers that have plummeted! He still wins the ball around the contest but isn't getting it on the outside, be it the tag or whatever reason.

Well 1 extra CP and 3 less UP. Plus less scoreboard impact.

If he Scores under 100 next week he is gone

[RaisyDaisy]

He stays, but he has until Rocky returns to prove himself otherwise Jelwood to Rocky is a lock

Yeh so that accounts for maybe 10 ppg

Not 30

Clearly he just can't impact games anymore

[auscoyote]

When the finals race is on he will come good. ;)
Cant keep great players down for long.

I'm thinking there's a few of us that may have spotted another large elephant in the same room !   :o

Initially we thought it was a Joel Selwood reflection in that huge mirror along the wall . . . but NO . . he was spotted again tonight, a large red and white elephant with what appeared to be a No. 12 on his back.   :(

On closer inspection we realise that there is no mirror, just a large smoky room with 2 large elephants   :-\

Flowering Joel Selwood and JPK, yep I'm putting it out there, the ever reliable JPK, now valued at 485K, who would've thought
