Sadly his knee is absolutely buggered. He can barely train, let alone play.
I've already covered my opinion on Agresta.
Imagine getting offended by a largely benign turn of phrase that has been used in exaggerated fashion for more than a century...
He's had opportunities to be the lead ruck, and he got thrashed. Where he excelled was once the ball was on the ground, and playing in key forward role. He's the classic case of a kid being picked for ruck roles as a junior because he's tall and can jump.
Then he might well be the next Gorringe.
Cox was promoted to the senior list in his second year after taking East Perth to a flag and being awarded BOG shortly after turning 19. He then spent that year being fast tracked in the senior side via the second ruck role. By halfway through his fourth year, he was lead ruck, having split duties for about a season and a half with one of the premier rucks in the competition: Michael Gardiner.
His track record with us, compared to Sydney's decision making process during his time there (and since).
Exactly.
That's how poor decision makers stay in this caper for so long: they either shift blame, or sidestep mediocre decision making by not taking enough ownership.
Silvagni has the final say in the player based on recommendations of talent from Agresta and his team, with consideration from the list management team as to evaluating their monetary worth versus their asking prices, after being directed on what type of positional player by the coaching panel. His job is to marry all of that together, in what might be considered the bulk of a general manager role in other sports.
Kerr was a bit stiff as he has ability. Bit too one dimensional, straight line sort of a player which left him struggling to find a spot in our fwd line. Think he's good enough to grab a spot somewhere though.
The SSP is after the rookie draft.
