Analysis Chicken McNuggets, Destroyed Houses and the Importance of Chris Masten

[WCErevival]

Taking my sponsor had of for a moment, he is 1 of many that needs to do. I've heard some say we need a mini rebuild, quite frankly we need a clean out. I'm talking from the very top all the way down through our coaches to our players.
Match Committee: no idea who they are but the all should be taken out the back and flogged. How it took the power of social media to get Parto to have a gig is beyond me. Lecca, Priddis, Cripps, Masto all given too ma u chances.
Recruiting: I recently read that our recruiting staff is the biggest and most expensive off all clubs!!! What the ****. How is that possible. If the whole board could see we should have got McGov Jnr over Lamb and SPP over Venables then how can they not see it? (not saying anything about Venables, he will be a great player but why recruit an injured player over a Starting 22 player in a 'premiership window'). I personally think that because of our past we now recruit safer picks rather than anyone that is too my of a bad boy. They dont wanna go down that path again.
Development: apart from Sheed, who has improved immensely this year every single player has gone backwards. How is that possible? Lamb was decent when he came to us. What happened? Duggan was a gun! Why hasebr he progressed. I'm tired of looking at other teams who constantly bring at least 2/3 new players in every year and they actually IMPROVE!! Who was our last youngster to come in and make an impact? Priddis? And not just our youngster by in my eyes Shuey has massively dropped of this year. I know he cops a lot of attention but shouldn't they teach him how better to deal with a tag or teach others to block for him.
Simpson: too soft on our players. Not o my that but isn't quick enough in the coaches box. Poor man's Woosha. Everyone laughed at Sumich, he would have up playibg finals.
Hurn: getting better over the last month but in my opinion isn't enough of a on field leader. Time for a change, JK looks to be the only leader out there.
Retirements: no options should be given. Bartel, Chapman, Kelly all given the tap by the cats and they are better of for it. Lecca, Butler, should join Priddis and Mitchell. Masto, Wellers, Runners, McInnis, Giles...i could go on but they all need to be traded or delisted.
Subi Oval: not good enough that a deal hasn't been done yet. Our club should have agreed a deal by now.
My Recommendation: it's hard to know where our list really is. I fell if we had the right coach we could actually content. My pitch would be this. Make a bold move to Paul Roos, offer him an open cheque book and the summer off to be with his family. Offer Sumich a director of coaching role with him taking over in 3 years after roos. Recruit some good coaches to have around them, much like Woosha has. Look at Eade and Buckley, both of which will need a new job. Then after all the retirees throw the cheque book at Kelly or Dusty. And the recruit some actually midfielders. And finally end the East Perth deal and actually get ourselves a team. /end rant #mastoforpm

Duggan has definitely progressed. Playing far better now than when he started.

Lamb was never that good and has shown that he was a bust pick. He only got a game at AFL level due to Darlings injury.

You dont know what Simmo is like on the players. Nobody does. His press conference can't be used to judge that. I would argue our list is nowhere near contending due to our poor midfield.

 

[Eagleboy68]

Forget he is a poor disposal player.

Also forget he isn't that quick.

Forget that he turns the ball over more times than a drop punt from 60m out.

I saw a number of contests where he squibbed. Didn't go into the contest hard and backed off for fear of being hurt.

This is a fault of a lot of our players right now and one of the reason we are shite.

Quality rant

10/10

Should rant again

I thought it was a solid rant

Yes Duggan has progressed. But not as much as he should have. Lamb definitely had promise early on.

Lol at the marsden lovers and defenders before the season begun. The dude is not only a shit footballer but also a terrible influence to have around the players. Just wants to party and cash his pay cheque. Fingers crossed he gets 3 strikes if our list management don't have the balls to cut him.

In what way is Masten a bad influence?

Seems a good club man from the outside.

 

[avishka5]

I have defended Masten for the last 7 years but I'm done. He isn't part of our future and we need to part ways with him regardless.

Not denying he could be a good bloke and a nice guy.

 

[ChampRevesby]

The only thing worse than Masten's form has been the clubs ability to replace him.

 

[kranky al]

He is too slow to be that weak as piss if that makes any sense

Players that cant shrug a tackle or fend off have to have lighning pace - he doesnt.

Its scary to think of the also rans we have kept playing when we could have gone to the well again and again till we got something.

 

[hudson2006]

Well, here we go again. Here's hoping that on Sunday the most outside player on our list can find the space he needs to be statistically elite.

Uncontested posessions & a few choice i50s, that's all we need from him.

PFFT! KFC nuggs FTW!

How can someone so outside dominate the league in HTB

 

[eaglesfan84]

So I finally had the chance to look at our team selection.... Is "Masten" a misprint? Was someone looking at the Eats Perth lineup while typing this? I'm confused.

 

[eaglesfan84]

So Masten is still on our list?

 

[eaglesfan84]

Surprisingly Masten had actually been one of our better ones today.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Very nice by Ryan again!

Wrong thread

 

[LordHaart]

Well, except for the goal he gave away in the first, and then doing basically nothing after his own relatively lucky goal.

Sadly I'm not sure we have much depth left to replace him but he's not playing at AFL level. And hasn't in a long time.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Surprisingly Masten had actually been one of our better ones today.

Not from my seat.

He still cannot break or make a tackle and was shown up as a struggler at contested football.

We should not celebrate that he was better than Schofield and Nelson. Masten did a couple of good things but was still crap.

 

[Dylan82]

Respectful bump.


Thanks for the memories, all the best Chris.


We found him a role and it gave us a premiership.

 

[KERRPOW]

The nugget wearing the no.7 Guernsey made my otherwise real shit night.

 

[Worstplayerever]

I thought his last few games were good. Particularly his last, he kicked a goal when no one else could. I hope his replacement can run like he could.
