I see it differently. If we weren’t in the finals race, I’ve no doubt that Cleary would getting a better run and possibly even Buss although I can’t see it happening with Buss just yet.
Duryea may be dropping off and losing more contests and missing more targets than he used to, but you can’t beat his sort of experience which spans far wider than just what he does with ball in hand. He’d have a far better understanding of systems and what to do and when than what Cleary would and so the coaches clearly see him as part off the 22 to win the games we need to in the next month, rather than trusting a youngster who’s barely played any at the top level.
Cleary didn’t do much wrong last week but he certainly didn’t put a strong case in to hold a spot in our backline when we’ve got elimination final type games coming up.
Lol what system? The system that constantly lets the opposition kick 5 goals in a row week in week out?
That's the reason we should keep Dureya in - not because he is any good anymore but because he knows the system.
The coaches treat fringe young developing players like shit. Dureya is not helping us win games, Greene and Papley had a field day with him.
The problem is by now Cleary should have played 3-5 games already in AFL and be fit and ready but the coach and MC are too stubborn, it's ridiculous and holding us back. I'm not trying to say Cleary is some messiah but his case is one that is far too common in recent Bulldog history.
