No, I just don't give a sh*t about the S&C you've studied or the PT work you've done or whatever it is that has lead you to try and flex the national protocols of strength and power when it is totally irrelevant to the testing Wardlaw would have done.
The second half of 2021 we played some OK footy and pushed a few teams.
Last year was a total disaster and it was clear that the coach had lost the playing group.
I'd be stoked if we could finish say around 12th.
He has the ability to break congestion open with two steps and a handball with the time he creates. Invaluable and a trait Clarko would have seen a fair bit of in Sam Mitchell
Willing to give him time under a competent coach he believes in. Showed way too much pre OP for him not to be at a minimum a solid B+ mid with potential for A+.
Warner is cooked.
Khawaja had a massive year on the back of coming in against an already defeated England team, playing on the Monash Freeway in Pakistan times 3 and then cashing in against a South Africa team that had checked out in the last test. JL didn't rate him for a reason.
In recent time GAJ was the best I've seen. Wouldn't laser it but always put it in the spot that best suited his teammate.
From North B.Harvey was also an exceptionally good kick over 35-40m to a leading forward.
Pretty safe to say that most recruiters at AFL clubs would say you take the best available in the first round. Later picks are for needs.
We had Ashcroft, Sheezel and Wardlaw as our top 3 so no issue not taking Cadman.
Larkey and Comben will get first crack this year as FF/CHF. If they work...
Why would you want to play under the greatest AFL coach alive when you have the opportunity to get the inside word about Kenny's Angle Park greyhounds.
An indictment on how we generally assess players that none of those metrics actually relate to defending (you could argue intercept marks do but I don't think they should unless it's a contested 1 on 1 intercept against your direct opponent)
Both times from the bottom half of the 8. One of those years we beat the Cats which was a surprise the other year we beat a Sydney team that was destroyed by injury.
He never got us into a Qualifying Final.
Phillips will also add a defensive edge that no one (except maybe Greenwood) currently does. The second time we played the Dogs in '21 I sat behind the goals and it was very obvious that even in his first year his defensive instincts were better than Cunners, Jy and LDU.
Few differences here between BMac and JHF:
1. BMac is a free agent and it is somewhat normal for players in this position to field other offers to push their price up. It is most likely that this is going to be his big contract both in years and dollars. JHF was a rookie with 10-15 years in...
Love LDU and don't think Will will be as eye-catching, but if Phillips gets a clean run at it I'd be willing to put money on him being a star and our most consistent week-in-week-out player when he is 24-29 years old.
