Minchington

Post: # 1624825Post evo »

Along with Acres will probably be dropped this week. Rarely gets a run in the middle where he racks up big numbers in the VFL, but on the ball seems belong to a select four. Seems to do as well as anyone we have tried as a small forward where it is not easy to rack up possies, tackles well, good kick at goal and in general play, just not in AR's plans. In my opinion only.

I'm undecided about him but I do think he's got two things we need - pace and skills. I'd like to see him stay in, but I'd also like to see Billings, Sinclair and Lonie get a few games as well.


Opinions are like arseholes, everybody's got one.

What he does he does nicely, but just does not get enough ball.

He is as slow as a wet week.

He is slow?

One of the few on the list that runs out of a stoppage... His first three streps are very quick and has a good step! He isn't fast at full speed but has powerful acceleration.

As a forward pocket with an insipid midfield he has been the best forward along with Membrey. A lot of his touches lead to scores. Gets limited opportunity.... But more than Eli.

If minchinton is slow as a wet week
Dunstan is a wet winter

Totally agree BM this is one on my major frustrations with our coaches - not exposing blokes like Minchington to more midfield time, when Dunstan continues to hold his positions.
