It's a bit on the bullish/over-optimistic side of the fence but at least it's a thoughtful analysis and well written

Just how an illiterate moron like Hagdorn has a job in comparison to writers like this is as puzzling as Basil Zempilas having a TV career

If you lot are bored this weekend go read our 2016 trade thread and start at page 40 let the rofling commence

"It was coined the ‘Weagles Web’ in reference to the way in which...."

So what happened in the interview?

As DanWCE predicted, it didn't provide much insight even for channel 7.

Three players were named as underperformers in big games/moments...JK, JD and Lecca.

Simmo said they know they didn't perform well, though reminded everyone our I50's were lower than usual (ie. It wasn't the fault of the forwards we lost those finals).

Also said they're looking forward to the pressure this year, you know, that they're not scared or shying away from it...like anyone would admit to that even if they were "carrying demons".

He should be voted off the island for the unforgivable misspelling of Sheppard.

Aside from that, it is a well constructed article. I found the exhumed corpse bit funny...I bet Drew has a good sense of humour about that kind of thing but at the same time his competitive spirit will ensure he works his guts out on the track so that he finishes his career with a bang instead of the whimper that was his and North's 2016.

Leccas is the prime culprit in terms of disappearing in big games. Darling next, and then JK third.

they kissed and drank some sparkling ale after.

Hopefully not Coopers.

Yeah JK has way more runs on the board in that regard than the other two

 

[SpaceClef]

Plus Simmo has himself to blame re: Lecca for not dropping him when he was consistently underperforming.

Ahh 2016, the memz

 

[Dark Sharks]

Lecrap will perform better this year.

Doesn't strike me as the kind of player who progressively just gets worse and worse without a whimper. Too classy for that.

Those power Fwds should be taking more rap than Lecca especially Darling as we know that Kennedy is often double and triple teamed by defenders .

Whilst Lecca didn't perform well last year (or not consistently well), being played closer to goal this year should see him return to better form. Playing him up the ground did him and the team no favours. Whilst on form he should have been dropped at times, I would have tried moving him back to goal and out of the middle before doing that.

He was good in the midfield in 2015. Just got lazy last year IMO

But I agree he should stay forward

He was good in 20015 but I would still rather him forward and a genuine mid in the midfield (even then). Of course the midfield has been our weakness for ages, so I get why it happened. But not sure it was ever sustainable as he is getting older and slowing down. Give him a chance to play out his days where he plays his best footy. I think he may have a good year or two.
