This is true.
However, players like Duggan and Yeo and Sheed have made some howlers the last few weeks that draw very little comment, but would result in multiple pages of posts if Priddis were to commit a similar blue. I get it, he's old and bad now. It just gets monotonous and I'd like to find a new guy to trash just for the sake of keeping us interested.
I have commented a bit on Duggan's poor ball drop, Sheed however is a nice kick, an attacking player (may have had one grubber) but the thing is ....
Imagine a scenario where a ball is cleared long to space, Player X is 30m off for the eagles and player Y is 35m off for the opposition.
In that scenario, if player X = Sheed / Duggan = Possibly win the footy, worst case scenario a ground ball battle for the hard ball, maybe knocked out of bounds.
If player X = Priddis, player Y takes ball cleanly and runs off to hit a target under no pressure.
If Priddis is dominating the stoppages (at his best he was better than Sydney's JK I think at getting hands on a ball from nowhere) then these sorts of things aren't as big a problem, or are less likely to even occur due to him feeding the ball to our players and us having clean possession. He was very good/amazing at very little, now he doesn't have a positive attribute to bring to the team.
Him playing FP/HFF isn't his fault, it's Simpson's idea, so I don't blame him for that as if he elected to go there.
