2nds Power SANFL - Round 22

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Daniel Stew is one of the few players I want to see under a new coach.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Same here. I'd like to see him under Brenton Sanderson, Michael Voss, Brett Ratten, Nathan Buckley ...

 

[klem22]

One of the most depressing sights there is to look at Ports lack of talent at a reserves level.
ABSOLUTELY DEPRESSING!

 

[Peck]

I'm sure there are 10-20 state league key forwards we could draft who would be just as good as D. Stewart. He's lazy, he's incredibly soft, he's a terrible kick for goal and apart from his one good contested mark on the wing per game his hands are unreliable. In his current form he barely deserves a spot on an SANFL list.

Hyperbole is fun and all, but as far as I have seen he is one of if not the best forward in the SANFL.

 

[S.Patrol.G]

SO come on whats the realistic chances of Sal getting a late call up??

I reckon he will play. McCarthy to drop out.

 

[PortMagic]

i agree - theres much worse p

I reckon he will play. McCarthy to drop out.

layers than Sal on our list playing - especially with our lack of skilled execution which he's quite good at. The misguided approach to player selection is killing me!

Except he has to jump in the AFL, he can just stick his arms in the air at SANFL level and out mark everyone.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

Redden 40 hitouts and 7 possessions

Very funny.

 

[PatientMental]

Redden 40 hitouts and 7 possessions

+ 4 Tackles, 4 Clearances, 1 Inside 50.

Gun.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Dont get too excited just yet.

Out of 19 games this year Norwood have lost the hit outs 19 times!

Jarrad Redden is the best ruckman we have on our list. Hope to god we get a new fitness coach.

I agree on both counts. Fitness is the key.

so succinctly covers who daniel stewart is

he and westhoof the little mates had 4 years opportunity to grow up and add muscle, they didnt

its only laziness in this day or nutrition and weights not being able to add mass

its fear and gutlessness their attitude

Name me one player on our list that has managed to bulk up over the last 6 or so years to the same level as players ifrom the teams that we have been using as yardsticks. Fact is you will not be able to post any names.

Posters have been talking about Hardwick (many), Ratten (a few) and many more coaches. None of them have done better than Primus, yet all of them have had priority picks, top of the range facilities plus all the tea in China to get their shit together but still failed. Its been nothing more than thinking that the grass on the other side of the fence is greener than on our side.
We have only ever taken the easy options in sacking the coach (Primus and Choco) and keep posting about delisting our better players or players that haven't had a real chance to develop.

A few years back we were under instructions to save money by minimising our off field costs as were some of the Melbourne clubs. We did (not sure we had an option not to) and we are now paying for it in spades.
The AFL has realised this was a big mistake and have taken steps to address it, but so far all we have seen is Primus being sacked and no changes towards addressing the real issues.

Now before many of you start going on about Primus and the his "failings" I must state that I am not saying that he is or was the answer to all of our problems nor the best coach going around (he may turn out to be with experience but atm he is only a beginner), but before we can build a house we must get the foundations right. So far we seem to have concentrated on nothing but talking the talk and using wallpaper the hide the cracks.

The next few months will tell us much but one thing is for sure, if we do not get it right that light at the end of the tunnel may well turn out to be the headlight of a train just like wrinkles or whoever it was told us. The coach and players are definitely part of that equation but only a very small part not the most critical.

 

[Lightning_Rod]

Brett ebert, David rodan, dayle Pearce circa '06, Matt Thomas, Kane cornes, chad cornes, all these guys at some point over the last 6 years have bulked up some have cut it back like danyle etc, but with application you can bulk, if the fitness guru is advising you wrongly, then do it your own way.

sadly we are the poor mans, in that we robotically follow shitty coaches who quite clearly are teaching shizen methods to gain weight and said players aren't using some of the brains they were given at birth!

Westhoff obviously has his negatives, but like him or not you have to admit that he has positives too. Daniel Stewart is Westhoff but without the positives.

...

Rodan was already big when he came over from Richmond.
Pearce, Chad, Kane and Thomas are all pre 2007.
2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 = 6

... then do it your own way.
...

No you should not, not in a professional environment.

 

[The Smaller Warrior]

Phillips ended up with 9 Possessions, 2 Marks, 8 Tackles, 1 Clearance and 3 Goals. (2nd Best)
Redden 7 Disposals, 4 Marks, 2 FF, 40 Hit Outs, 4 Clearances, 1 I50

 

[Macca19]

The final quarter of the Norwood v Eagles match ended up scoreless. First time in over 80 years there has been a completely scoreless quarter in the SANFL. How on earth does that happen?

 

[The Smaller Warrior]

lol has Banner been put back into the Ressies?

Not listed on the SANFL Site.

Really?

Does anyone have a truckload of manure I can dump on the front doorstep of Allan Scott HQ?

Actually I have the manure I just need the truck.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Banner really has to stop sleeping with all the coach's wives and running over all of their dogs.

Yep with Sal not playing for the Power, Banner makes way. Nicely ****ed up, isn't it?
