Would then finally get a ruckman. In the trade ... sigh Sniff
At least they have Teague.
If they flogged us we wouldn't have been in the game at 3 quarter would we? That was the point I was making, get it?
I hope our coaches are
Now this what I call a flogging that Port Power is giving West Coast.....I was very surprise why North changed their game plan and tried to go head to head with Essendon in a fast game, maybe it was a Good Friday game and they wanted to put on a show?
Apparently Jones is also pacy.
Apparently we recruited for pace last year. Trades and draft picks all aimed at bringing pace back into the club.
Haven't seen Will Hamill play? He is as quick or quicker than Rozee if that's what you're on about and Chayce Jones is not too far behind either of them.
You have pretty high expectations if you think one kid is going to remedy our lack of pace and pressure.
The pace and pressure is McHenry, Jones, MCAdam, Stengle and Hamill . All in the SANFL . These guys are a year away as they not only kids but built like kids . MCAdam and Stengle need another preseason . Ports kids Rozee and Duursma look bigger than ours . Butters is just a great football brain . We coulda had Butters and Duursma over Jones and McHenry. We will know in a year whom is on top there but def looks like port has trumped us there.
Hasn’t Stengle already had 2 pre seasons? He should be in the side this week
How bout we recruit players who are ready to go straight away? By the way Jones, McHenry, Stengle, Davis, Sholl, Fogarty, Hamill are all ready to go now. The club has a knack of recruiting players slightly framed as then they have a good excuse to not play them. I believe often they recruit for the distant future and have no intention of playing that player for 2 to 3 years especially if the position they play in has a player on a 3 to 5 year contract. Some may ask why are we drafting players into positions where there are players on long term contracts? Often the club does it anyway and tries to change them into something they aren't. I understand the club has to commit to experienced players who have the runs on the board but when their form is so poor and they are still picked, this is a big problem. The problem with your theory and the afc's is that when the club feels that drafted players are ready to be picked, some are at other clubs. Hard to play players that have left. You can't blame them by the way. If we do play them and they star we then low ball them as often the club buckles to the demands of aging players who had already peaked years before threatening to leave and the club wanting to show we dont have a player retention issue. All goes to the mentality of backing in encumbents instead of recognising a weakness and using drafting to alleviate that problem.
