Roast How diabolical is our midfield?

[BunjiMac]

Which Berry are you talking about, last year or this year? No doubt B.Crouch has loss his explosive pace after his soft tissue injuries were he missed an entire season. If he still had this ability he would be an A grade player but right now is just a solid B+ grade player.

Brouch has actually looked pretty good the times I've watched him this year, probably the best football I've seen him play in a long time.

Even against us I thought he looked good.

He plays very very similar to Laird in my opinion, they are virtually the same player.

This seems incredibly revisionist, was a big help for us early in his career. And Brad was barely fool’s gold other than being unable to stay on the park

2 guys that didn’t let us down in a grand final

Hardly fools gold but had their time

But some on here still think Laird is a "C grader" though lol. A few footage shows he seem to have regain some of his burst speed which he had as a young player before his horrible soft tissue injuries.

Tbh, I don't think I've ever heard anyone refer to Laird as a C grader, ever.

He’s referring to a comment by southerntakeover and then repeats it adnauseum

That probably does qualify as "some on here".

 

[Bob Neil]

Bailey Humphrey who we’ll get a look at on Saturday is projecting as exactly the kind of dynamic, burst away from stoppages type midfielder that we need. He’s obviously jumped Hollands in their pecking order and we need to scour the league to see if we can find a guy like this.

1 on here. I didn’t see the original comment but I’m sure it was probably flippant.

Nah it wasn’t , he just doesn’t rate him

 

[The Perfect Stranger]

He played in the middle all last year to a high level of impact.

A B grader with average skill who played in the midfield in a team that finished bottom 5. I like the kid but when he is considered one of your top 3 midfielders you know you're in trouble. Maybe he might etch out a career as the 5th or 6th choice midfielder. I hope there's a position for him because I love his toughness and aggression.

Laird is far better with his disposal & also offers better defensive coverage.

STO has been very adamant he doesn’t rate Laird highly

 

[Trigger13]

We need a coupe of A grade GOAL KICKING mids so that when Rach and Peds go in there to help out we aren’t robbing Peter to pay Paul.

We could have had him instead of Rankine

Marginally I'd say. Brouch physicality and ability to match the bigger bodies and hand ball probably marginally better.

Cancel each other out, but they are very similar in that they are both elite at getting to the loose ball first. What they do with the loose ball is sometimes not the best, but they will still give you first use.

You are entitled to your opinion but you are being way too harsh on Berry imo.

Have you got Drummond on ignore?

 

[Firewalker]

How’s the midfield…

 

[King Elvis]

What midfield?

 

[The Perfect Stranger]

Bottom 8 midfield with no young A graders on the list. At least another 5 years until we will be a genuine contender, if at all.

Pretty telling if he can't even get a gig in this midfield.

 

[ABAB]

What midfield?

Same midfield who got us a 6 goals lead but noticed Keays and Sloane were part of them.

 

[Drummond]

Hey Drum. Keen to hear your thoughts. Hope you're ok. xx

Hey WAG. Keen to hear your thoughts. Hope you’re okay. xx

 

[jackster83]

At what point do we become concerned that Soligo is looking like joining the Berry/Schoenberg/Hately stagnation group?

 

[spenze]

Midfield coach for starters, places way, way too much faith in Sloane
