Is mercurial the right word here? I think they wouldn't need to cope with anything if they thought him to be an inconsistent player.

In that case, name change required to dirtyhands
I’d like to think the name is from clean skills but more likely from not touching the footyIn that case, name change required to dirtyhands
anyway it’s the Izak Rankine thread
Elite mids don't grow on trees. How many do you think there are in the AFL at the moment.
I'm talking game winning unmatchable mids.

Maybe we should start developing an elite tagger ?

That’s what I don’t understand. When you don’t have an elite midfield and the opposition do, why don’t we play a tagger? Nicks was part of the GWS coaches that played De Boer and made a GF. We’ve seen what happens to Brisbane when Neale is tagged.Maybe we should start developing an elite tagger ?

Isn't the player Cal Coleman-Jones? They sent the pick to Richmond in that trade.

Serious? About what?
Take it easy.
The list was never intended to be exhaustive; it was off the top of my head.
There are probably another 10 or more players from that era (60's/70's) and Bagshaw would definitely be one.
I loved that Sturt side of the Jack Oatey era (wishing it was West Adelaide!). They changed the game.

Wasn't that a storm in a teacup moment. Never would've thought someone throwing out their old team gear would become headline news.
Crow haters using it as ammunition, "Taking his Crows stuff to the dump! LOL! He HATES them!" Like most other players don't ditch their old stuff when they get traded away.
Then some of the Crow faithful turning it around on him like "He's throwing it out, he could've donated it to needy people. What a jerk."
Simpler times.

I completely agree, and don't agree with the 'good teams don't tag' philosophy, because the top 2 teams have done it this year and it's been pretty successful.
Professional sports people get given a ridiculous amount of gear every season that either is donated to family/friends or hits the bins after a season finishes.

There more than you think
Bont, Pendelbery, Neale, Cripps, Oliver, Martin, Fyfe, Petracca,
There is a sub list of mids who would be on the cusp guys like Wines, Boak, Bailey Smith, Laird, Parish, Walsh, Miller, Steele, Kelly etc

Just another aspect of how we are not a very creative / innovative club.
Running two ruckmen? Didn't try it.
Tap ons and knocks ons? Nah, not worth it.
I hope that they noticed Geelong's tactics in the GF, very attacking, very take a chance whereas Syd was exactly like us. Collingwood were similar. Taking max advantage of the new rules. I think clubs will spend more time working on ways to nullify those rules rather than maximise them
but anyway. Hopefully we took note.In promising developments though, we were way worse in the past. Couldn't switch a player from attack to defense or vice versa in season! Had to train with them in the pre season before we'd swap. Now we are doing that in AFL games and we do a lot of change ups in SANFL.

Mercurial is absolutely the right word to use in defining what Izak is capable of on a football field. Not always consistent but a player that can pull off plays very very few other players can.
We played 2 rucks against Grundy in 2020 didn't we? Didn't work out.Just another aspect of how we are not a very creative / innovative club.

Mercurial doesn't mean inconsistent anyway, it's more like unpredictable.
