Zerk has good decision making without the ball.
Makes a decision and attacks it with his whole heart. Doesn't get caught in no man's land often. I like to think Rance helped him in that.
Yeah, it is a very busy position right now.
I think we have painted ourselves into a corner in terms of finding players for our needs.
Clubs are very hesitant to take specialist inside mids late because they want to reserve CBAs for players that are either elite mids or players that could...
The only players I could bank on to perform this year were:
Ridley
McGrath
Merrett
Saad
maybe Langford.
That's it.
If we want to turn the corner into a consistent football club we have to sign our consistent core of players. Saad is a must sign.
I find his development strategy to be quite bizarre. His attributes have always seemed to be center square or bust.
I really find our desire to play him on the wing to be strange given his lack of pace.
Inside mid suits his dual-sided disposal and his frame so much better.
Every week it becomes more and more obvious that all he needs is a little bit more physical development and experience to be a real weapon for us.
He has all the raw tools.
That is one of the good aspects of the pick. He is not a player who is going to sit on the list for 5 years as he adds 20kg to his frame. Good weight now with a little room to grow, should make it over the 100kg mark.
The problem with the article isn't the broad point of Francis' fitness holding him back. It was the hyperbole that insinuated that he was years off and virtually a non-athlete. Which is especially inappropriate in the context of Aaron's mental health leave.
I think that is true. However, I wonder if the club believes that having enough clean players mitigates the weakness a little.
Worsfold was very quick to point out (late in the year) that we have fewer stoppages than most teams in our games.
Season goalkickers:
5th: Walker 49 goals
...
14th: Hooker 41 goals
He is only 8 goals out of the top 5 in the league. It shows how hard it is to kick a bag in this league when only a half-dozen players will end up breaking 50 goals. He has had a very good year from a less than ideal start.
