Whats the point of dropping him? Id Play him all year and see where it goes. If it doesn't work - delist or trade. His confidence is shot - hes played 2 games this year in a terrible side. Theres not much to come in.
Telling that we have just accepted how putrid he is. No posts since monday - not many the week before either. Just resignation.
If he is being allowed to play so far off, its on the coaching too but i suspect he just doesnt follow orders. He isnt tough enough or any way near good enough to try...
If ldu was at another club and open to a move, what would we offer? Of course, we would go hard.
That $$ should be the offer from us to him to stay. He doesnt have to be perfect. How many a graders reach the open market? Not many.
For star players, Usually it works out that they take a bit...
Why not swap the Hbs and wings?
Scott/fisher for stevens/tucker. The latter two have the physical tools to be small defenders - would be a good challenge for stevens - ball use is ok. And fisher is a liability in defence and is being exploited. We risk damaging scott by playing him out if...
Surely its about clearance structures. We have no pure inside mid and xerti taps it close or grabs it so ldu is spending a lot of time in very close at stoppage which limits him outside. He looks confused at times.
We need an inside distributor - cunnington was the prototype - wardlaw does it...
What about another role change? Play him as Lockdown defensive first mid with some offense - hes fit enough and strong. Its really only shiels who can do it atm. Wardlaw could and did on weekend for a half but it wastes what he brings - he needs to hunt. Richmond did similar with cotchin - jy...
“Great” LDU photo in The Age of collingwood FA targets.. cue the outrage when draft compensation is discussed in coming months if he doesn't sign. See Mckay
Same vultures/people targeting contracted star players from battling clubs screaming when those clubs get anything back close to whats...
Dont have a problem playing an onfield leader ie hodge at brisbane - but lmac isnt that guy. Have go be an amazing coach on the field type. Shiels is that guy and performs st a much higher level tbh.
If we are about performance and we have to be, he should play vfl. It will be hard but if he is...
Makes for bizarre and distressing reading. It did then tbh and jordan lewis was spot on.

Should have been 2yrs with an option after the bnf.
Then year by year - by now...
Could they Swap roles? Stephens is way down on confidence. Put him at Hb. Better user and would have a clear role. Release scott. Could be the Shutdown? And can kick.
Its also the lack of midfield pressure and spuds around him. Pretty tough and not surprising took a while to settle. Im Pleasantly surprised how good he looked at the end. And will only get better. Its crazy to expect him to look like weitering or andrews in game 1. After 1 pre season and a...
Putrid. Play f:;((ing back shoulder pal. Coz you have nfi of where the ball and/or your opponent is at any time. I am actually astounded he is playing. Over a 10 game plus stretch, He is the worst defender i have seen play us. Whipping boy watt defended pretty well. Corr is putrid in all aspects...
He is cooked. Literally cant play at an afl level. Let alone be captain. We so need to move past him. I can actually cop the fumbling but the so stupid blast kicks and calling for a momentum killing 8 m sideways kick are so unacceptable because thats mental. He chooses to do that He has never...
Again Putrid. Just Play Back shoulder or ()$$off. He is too soft and just not good enough to play off his man as much as he does and his disposal is diabolical. Got a long term deal - cashed in - good on him but he has been terrible. Really, really terrible. He is the worst taller backman we...
Critical to our structure already. Most of the leadup marks were under some pressure too. Not easy. And he looks for the attacking kick. He is confident but is an absolute gun young kid.
The difference is stunning now that we have people who look pretty much every time to take the inside kick - they all at least take a look inside - it shows how bad it has been.
Sheez, Fisher,mckercher, duursma, powell, ldu even george w all look inboard and take some shots. Mostly hit them and...
He tried to run past for a HB for a set shot at 50 in q3 and got absolutely torched the other way. Goal to freo. Selfish and stupid. No physical presence. At all.
