Official Dale Finucane

[Sevshark]

Thought he was better in the second half but it's time for him to be transitioned into the Tolman role on the bench.

 

[Gards]

He makes some big tackles around the ruck

but he also misses some big tackles around the ruck, which is bad for a bloke who's only apparent attribute as it stands is making tackles and the occasional decent carry and ptb

I'm not really that impressed with him, hasn't been the same player since coming back halfway through 2022. Our defense was actually quite good in first half of 2022 and Dale had a bit to do with that.

if it's about leadership well that hasn't stopped us playing like mongs at times and the games we do win against average sides only well we probably were going to win those regardless. Actually we still did when Dale was out.

But with Cam out we don't seem to be playing quite the same, much prefer Cam being our 13 ongoing and Dale is a player I can take or leave right now. Not spewing if he is named but wouldn't be devo if he was left out either (which he wont be)

Tough as brass balls but is getting a little of the Wade's about him. I wouldn't be surprised if he's not 100% fit

I would like us to start with McInness and bring Dale on to give him a spell. I would also leave Graham out. I would work at giving Jesse C and Hazleton game time when we can and work at developing both of them. They can then move out of the side when Toby is fit.

Typically I would agree with this but with McInnes on the return from injury we don't really know where he is at. If he may have lost a little match fitness or anything makes sense to start him on the bench.

As for Graham - he does add a bit more versatility than the other two.
Being on the way out when they are on the way up I would like to see them playing too, but we'll just have to trust the coach Graham improves our chance of winning by more.

 

[Riverside MF]

I’m sorry to have to say.

He’s not a game breaker and not a leader on the field.

I Don’t think he should be starting and, I’m only guessing, doesn’t add much to this team outside of what might happen off the field for the blokes coming through.

 

[Tank]

He is done...Melbourne know when to let them go and the why they need to go.....

 

[sharks2010]

I think it's safe to say we have far bigger problems then any one individual at the moment

 

[Deleted member 3365]

Miss Tolman....

 

[CrazyMatt]

Either he or Wade has to drop out next week, we can’t carry both anymore.

Never in his career has he been a game breaker.

Can tear an ear though. Should count for something.

 

[Capital_Shark]

Munster with his back turned, arms up, ribs exposed - anywhere between knees & shoulders would've done the trick. Found his melon.

Hardly got square at marker all night too. Seems a play off the pace.

Should ask Bellamy for a refund. Hopefully he gets suspended sooner than later and brings his leadership from the coaches box.

 

[Thresher]

Tolman was better at 1/4 the price.

More chance of getting sin binned than making something worthwhile of it by rattling his ribs

Hey man

Is Finucane still doing exactly what we signed him for ?

 

[Blue_Eyes84]

He's been a terrific player for many years. However, it's time to move aside for someone else.

We have 2 more years.

 

[Blue_Eyes84]

We have 2 more years.

He can be a good player for Newtown. Or pay him and send him on his way.
