Staggering really. Doing so much right but then capable of undoing most of it with persistent clangers and turnovers.The new game plan exposes Atleys flaws but he's working very hard and could be good further up the ground. He's actually in career best form statistically.
Not sure we can drop a senior body either - I'd push him forward and Zurhaar back. Zurhaar in much worse form than Ats, try and tune both to this new game plan.
Get Cam in the action and limit Astley's clanger damage but maximise his possession and work rate which is career best.

No current season stats available
Will say this, I don't doubt guys like Shaun give their all, but when senior players are known for making costly mistakes through various chunks of their career, it's hard to inspire the younger players and develop them when they're making fundamental mistakes.
Conversely, he's a victim of poor development himself.
Development, confidence in yourself and the game gameplan (which changed on a dime) were non existent through Brad.
Until we move on most of the list under Brad, we're going to see more of the same.
At 200 games though, he's not taking the next step.
It's a shame because he has it in him to be a game breaker, but like Daniel Wells, just doesn't have the mongrel in him to want to burn the opposition.
Send him to Bontempelli.
Our lack of real pace has seen Shaun relegated to negating roles for most of his career.
Yep....the turnovers dont bother me ...have a look at the list of top turnovers for last year.......Dusty Gaff Petracca Danger etc...he is getting the pill and his bounce stats put him in the top 10 for past 10 years. His rebound 50s are solid. The club might not see an issue.Maybe needs a stint at half forward again. Had 11 turnovers last week but he wasn’t the only culprit. We can’t blame our misfortunes on one player
If Noble MUST play him, throw him forward. I came across this:
First goal.. 17 secs.. he takes the game on with confidence and kicks a ripper. Utilize his speed and aggression in the forward line.. what do we have to lose? Play Menadue or pump games into Patrick Walker at HB.
The next 'Judd' they said...
And didn’t we give him every chance in the midfield ........ where he bloody belonged the whole time.
Brad Scott no lubed him into the backman he never should have been and he’s still played well for us over the years.
North struggles to develop talent and he is no different.
