My opinion and Daffodils
AFL Club
Adelaide
Other Teams
Liverpool Lockleys FC
Does he still work at the club if so he has a big job ahead of him as there are 12 players who need tutoring and hopefully become leauge players.

Sellar who hopefully will stay sound could easily become a key forward and/or Gill.

Hinge could become another Torney as the 2 quarters he played looked ok and promising

Guys like these need time so at what stage do we forget about 07 and start looking towards 08 and beyond cause lets get serious even if we do make the finals we are only making up the numbers.

How do you know?

Im not sure we should be projecting our inconsistent form from now onto something 7-8 weeks away...we should go as hard as we can and see what happens

What are we, a win a way from 3rd, and if Hawthorn lose today, then a win from 2nd. Hardly alarm bells time.

Don't know much about Sellar as i have never seen him play & granted Hinge could do with another chance at AFL level but the young player i'm a bit concerned about is Douglas who to me has stalemated & should be showing more on the oval than he is.

has he lost pace ?
has he lost fitness ?
has he lost awareness ?
 
Don't worry about young Douglas.

I thought VB looked like a hack in his 1st year, always kicking mongrels to nobody.

I thought Knights looked like a pedestrian in his 1st year, always getting scared and handpassing to the closest player (be it Crow or other).

DOUGIE will be a great player, no question :)
 
Yes Alan Stewart is still with us and he is in charge of development of 1st, 2nd and 3rd year players. He might have some others in that group but its mainly the youngsters.

Douglas does appear to have lost some pace but I think he will be OK. He is at that stage now where he is almost too good for SANFL but just not quite there yet at AFL level.

I think next year, with hopefully an injury free, big pre-season under his belt, will be the year where Doulgas comes out and feels very comfortable at AFL level!
 
Douglas this year reminds me alot of Knights last year. Obviously too good for SANFL but still struggling to find a niche at AFL level. Hopefully he comes out next year like Knights did this year:thumbsu::)

Think that assessment is pretty much spot on ....2nd year blues ...third season Iam really looking forward too.

Hang on a sec.
How is McLeod holding anyone back?
Whether one should be in the team depends on their form and performance, not on how long they've been in the team. And McLeod's been in as good a form as he's ever been.

And the same with Edwards. Who in their right mind will get rid of players who are consistently delivering the goods.

Sheesh!

If we're going to have a genuine go at winning as many games as possible then we need our best 22 on the field. This maybe our last chance for a while so we shouldn't be interfering it with rebuilding. Sure rebuilding is important, but not without reason. And certainly not at the cost of in-form performing star players.
