Last week : "I can't see where our next win is coming from."
This week : "think we're a sneaky chance to beat the team second on the ladder"
A week is a long time in football
There is a lot of competition for his spot. He's behind Moore, Watson, Wingard, Ginnivan. That's a lot of talent - infact I think we have overcapitalised in this area of the ground. Butler is there for depth and from a list profile perspective, he's surplus.
I find it strange how obsessed we are with draft picks.
There's more pressing issues which need addressing before we decide to throw unproven kids at the problem. If early draft picks was the secret ingredient, North and Carlton would have 10 of the last 20 premierships
I dont understand the comparison of our list to North or WCE.
Our list goes to show that going to the draft is not "the" solution. Rebuilds are dam hard. North, WCE are on their 4th or 5th iteration and are still at the bottom. Carlton, Melbourne and Brisbane are 10 year rebuilds. Gone are the...
I saw this stat too. Coupled with a heat map of where shots at goal are taken. Most of our shots are closer to the boundary lines and plus 40 metres, our opposition are regularly shooting from the corridor within 30. Correlates to those numbers.
This board is quite funny.
2021 - we need a full rebuild. Too many old players. Play the kids and go to the draft
2022-23 development years
Round 2, 2024 - these kids suck
Going to the draft is not always the silver bullet many assume. It's a sum of parts that very few clubs get right.
Normally I read the game day thread and think we have some strange supporters. All the vitriol today was justified. Two steps back today. It's a concern
Was pretty clear we are still a couple of years away covering for a player of Day's versatility. Centre clearances would have broken even with him in there. He also makes Newcombe better. Don't think we will see what we are really capable of until we have Day back in. Also need Hus in the...
Yeah that's on the record re Lewis. I love my club but * we have a horrid past and a somewhat sketchy present when it comes to racism. It's really dissapointing.
I don't think Wards in doubt. It's more of where does he play to give us a match up advantage.
Its a pretty exciting phase for us. Watching the kids and their different journeys is something to savour. I still have fond memories of 2006 where I saw a couple of games and I thought we had...
Midfield speed is overrated. Hodge, Mitchell, Lewis were not Stawell Gift winners. Great football brains got them in to the right positions both offensively and defensively
I hear you. Hes notched 30 games so it's a little premature to write him off. Day has played 54. The concern with Ward is more the glimpses of his best have been few and far between. Days a good comparison, we saw his potential before he got to 30 games and he's almost the finished product...
