My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 18, doug85

I've said it once, i'll say it again.

We have the shittest supporters in the comp.

So quick to stick the boot in when someone dares has a poor run of form.

To be fair, we’ve been the shittest team in the comp in the past 15 years... People are just tired of losing.

I think most agree with what is the reality - he’s out of form and probably hasn’t progressed quite as far or as quickly as we would’ve hoped. I don’t think anyone’s stuck a fork in him, have they?

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Seems he is trying some new ways to work his way back in to the seniors.

I'd be a lot happier with Woosha as a coach if he didn't say the word rapt every three seconds

That's what Darcy said too.

 

[PhoenixBonez]

The only midfielder to out-perform Parish from his draft so far is Oliver. Who was taken before him.

Damn Dodoro for taking the best midfielder available. What an idiot.

Been reading this thread and sitting on the side lines that last couple of days, boi talk about a massive knee jerk reaction from the media and some supporters, the kid is in his 3rd year and probably not even 21 yet, he is tracking just fine.

And if he rapped it?

 

[Ambrosia]

I'd like to see him on a wing when he returns.
He's quick enough and once he has his kicking back in line he'd be a decent weapon playing a similar role to that of Colyer.

He and Smith on the wings would give us two running mids who chase and pressure.
Clarke, Langford, Laverde, Merrett, Heppell and McGrath can then rotate as our main stoppage mids.
Fanta, Stringer and Tippa roll through from the fwd line in cameos.

I personally think he does his best work at the coalface in the stoppages and his poor form is due to spending too much time at HFF/Wing.

I want to give him a share of Zaharakis and Merrett's midfield time as they have the tools required to be more damaging on the outside.

Mills.

I'm not rapt/with the gap/between our worst and our best
But I'll slap/any chap/who says hird wasn't less

 

[Dons4days]

Mills.

Been playing as a back man?

Mills.

The defender who was also taken before Parish and was an academy selection?

Still got the best performing mid available at our pick.

He's playing more midfield now. Still, he's better than Darce IMO

 

[Old Stuckup]

I think the point is that Parish is fine and Kane Cornes is a prick.

 

[PhoenixBonez]

Ok fair enough that’s your opinion.

We still have the best performed mid that was available at our pick, Mills cannot change that due to his academy status and being picked before Parish.

I think the point is that Parish is fine and Kane Cornes is a prick.

This is undeniable.

I'd agree Mills is better, but you are completing missing his point

 

[eth-dog]

I wasn't, I just felt that Mills should have been included with Oliver in that category.

 

[PhoenixBonez]

Sydney are so afraid of the potential Kane Cornes reaction they have created an elaborate story for dropping Mills for the rest of the year.

Darcy can walk home without breaking his foot though.

Bullshit. Mills has been playing almost exclusively as a deep defender, would be seeing the least amount of midfield time in his entire career.

Really? I've heard different from Sydney supporters.

 

[Donakebab]

Really? I've heard different from Sydney supporters.

Given a defensive role most weeks, is often the last in line mopping up. One centre clearance and six in total show that he's barely putting in any time around stoppages, only 12 inside 50's vs 33 rebound 50's. His heat map that of a perma defender and strongly resembles Nick Smiths.
