Give the Poor guy a break (Ryan Lonie)
Why does Ryan Lonie always get dropped, he certainly wasn't the worst player last week. Give the poor guy a break and let him get a few senior games under his belt.

What do you have to do to get a go.

I'm sorry Rebecca but Lonie is finished, he's had plenty of chances to prove himself but he is far too timid to play AFL footy. Time for some new blood like Dawes and McCarthy. Although i will say that Mick Malthouse does pick his favourites instead of the players who are right for the team, as soon as a player falls out of favour with him then he doesn't give them oppertunites. I guess Lonie is one of them but he's not the only one, take Heath Scotland for example. How good is he now?

I agree with Didak, and both Shaws leaving the side this week Lonie is the ovious choice!
He needs some time to get back used to AFL speed footy and with thoise key players missing should get an opportunity!
Same with Holland!

Yeah im a fan of what he brings to the team and he's not going to run into any form if he's not given 2 games in a row.

However, I am looking forward to McCarthy and Dawes debut.

Just got home. Has he been dropped?
That is poor form from the match committee.

Lonie did have a poor game but for fu'cks sake so did the rest of the team. At least his was the 1st he played for the year.

So here we have a player who refused a trade to Brisbane last year as he wanted nothing more than wear our jumper. Yet we have a fu'ckwit like Didak that shows us up and makes us a laughing stock gets protection.
Here we have a situation where we won't play finals due to a lack of leadership yet it looks like Lonie's career has been marked.

Shame Pies Shame.
