that would be 2 weeks off as the Bombers have the bye next round

recon the fans booing him off would have any effect

Fans booed him off? that's weak.

sorry for harping on but has anyone got any sourced info?

Boomz · May 11, 2011, 10:17:43 PM

Was on the news about him not training.

BAM confirmation
also he was subbed due to concussion not a shoulder worry. keen on him again.

He also injured his shoulder... http://www.essendonfc.com.au/matches/report.asp?round_no=7

Windigo · May 11, 2011, 10:32:57 PM

He was subbed off due the new concussion rule is what I heard.

Quotealso he was subbed due to concussion

Didn't see this. But I'll say it again anyway. :P

why do people keep saying stanton burned them?
his average per year has been nineties since 2007 and even an average of 100... that's exactly what I'd expect from him... and I dont see that as being burned...

elephants · May 12, 2011, 01:04:50 AM

People say burnt because of his inconsistency. I personally love him and he single handedly won me top of the table clashes last year with his 145, 139 and his 134 in rounds 1, 5, 16. I am locking him as sixth mid :)

NONONONO

People say burnt because he averaged ~150 in last year's pre-season. He was the best player of the pre-season last year and then only averaged 99ish...

and I'm pretty sure everyone traded him in after some big midfield gun got injured or was their upgrade target I forgot who...

but after averaging 119.66 from rounds 1-7 (just enough for everyone to trade him in) He went on to average a measly 91.07 from rounds 8-22.

It's as if he body wears out after/during round 7. No thanks. Subbed out rd7 this year, rd7 was his last good game of his premium run last year...

Coincidence ?

He is inconsistent as well though mate.
Please don't create doubt in my mind.

Go look at his 2010 LE

He's good for 7 rounds and he's shower for the rest of the year, with the occasional flash of maybe he could be a star-ness

He was averaging 119 after 7 rds last year and only averaged 99..

Averaging only 107 after 6 rds this year...

Look elsewhere Ele!!!!!

I wouldn't call him consistent. I'd say he starts well, then he plays shower for the rest of the year :)

elephants · May 12, 2011, 01:16:20 AM

I know, had him all of last year...
Who else do you suggest?
Marc Murphy ?
Joey after his suspension? Is it one or two matches?

theswiz · May 12, 2011, 01:17:47 AM

it's not uncommon for most players to have hot periods, his happens to be at the start of the season.. look at dane swan now.. has gone sub 105 2 week in a row... for me thats dissapointing from the best afl player in the league...
averaging 99 is still an amazing effort...
