We’re paying Charlie upwards of $750-800k a year. He’s a budding superstar who’s a bit rusty at present but playing in the twos does nothing for his development.
The VFL is for players that have another player ahead of them for a particular position or role OR for punishment.
Get him back if he’s right to go. Coaching staff need to improve the way they’re positioning in him.
Tbh Crippa#9, I simply can’t see the relevance of Charlie’s salary. Imo, selecting a seriously out of sorts high earner, over a less well paid in-form alternative, does
not give us value for money, and it risks sending the wrong message to both him and the rest of our list. Imo, Charlie is worth his salary when playing as well as we all know he can, but he hasn’t been anywhere near that standard this year. I continue to believe that a week in the twos will do him no harm, and may just do him and us some genuine good in the medium to longer term.
Anyway, I’ve tried to outline my position as clearly as I can - some seem to think similar to me, and some (probably most) similar to you. That’s okay - agree to disagree - and no doubt we can all come together in wanting whoever the Match Committee ends up running with to simply do the business against the Hawks, because if they do we might just go back-to-back.
