Well he was dropped first.

Michie has been injured most of the year

Most is a stretch, he missed four games with a broken jaw early, but he's been available since.

Vivs writeup last week from the Dees website:

Viv Michie: Viv played inside mid and forward. He had it 19 times and he had zero tackles, zero missed tackles and zero fumbles. Viv’s ball-winning ability isn’t being questioned – he’s really good in and around traffic. The area of Viv’s game that’s letting him down at the moment is his defensive accountability and his transition away from a stoppage or a contest. His man often anticipates a turnover and spreads much harder and it’s an area we’re working closely with Viv. He’s well aware of it, but he’s making no real signs of improvement at this stage, so we’re going to continue working really closely with him.

Wow Melbourne are a bit harsher than we are with our WAFL round ups.

or maybe we were to lenient ... hence, why we were always asking when will he come into the team or why pokers keep asking why sylvia wasn't in the team soon?

 

[estibador]

Maybe it was all part of our plan to ship him off at the end of the year.

There's always a market for GF team rejects, not so much for guys who can't get a game at Melbourne

Reminds me of the WAFL write-ups in the worst year about Josh Simpson - stating 'that he looked disinterested and unmotivated' (or something to that effect).

Geez, their write-ups are a bit more frank and fearless than ours. Maybe that's the problem, morale is going down the tubes! Have to question the standard anyway - Max Gawn had 80, yes eighty, recorded hit-outs for Casey last week. On that basis Viv should be getting 55 touches.

Looks like he'll be delisted, just doesn't run hard enough, and even if he's aware maybe he just innately can't get it out. Still like the guy.

This is his write up from the weekends game. hopefully he isn't on the chopping block. in an article on their website it said he is a player being considered for selection this week

Viv Michie: Viv had 29 disposals. He had six tackles, one missed tackle and one fumble. He played inside mid for a large portion of the day and went forward at times to give him a rest. Viv was quite influential around the contest this week and his stoppage work was really good. The area that has let Viv down in the past has been his defensive transition and we thought he improved in this area, which is a real positive for Viv. He looked energetic around the stoppage and was solid in transitioning away from the contest, which was very pleasing. He had nine inside 50s for the day, which means he’s getting the ball in damaging spots as well. He was effective with his disposal and was a key reason we got over the line in the last quarter.

29 possies 6 tackles and 9 inside 50s pretty bloody good game.

He performed equally as good as Sheridan last season if not better for Peel. The reason he didn't get games over Sherro was because Sherro plays more outside than Michie. Michie wasn't exactly needed when Freo had a full compliment of inside mids already playing.

 

[Grandstan]

If Ross and Roos chat most weeks, I wonder if Ross passed on his views of Michie.

 

[clogged]

Most of the calls on future champs in the WAFL are made by posters who havent seen them play but go on statistics in the press.
I mentioned that Mitchie did not run both ways and lacked defensive pressure for Peel and was howled down
I'm far from an expert but it wasnt hard to pick up his problems watching him play

You do your fair share of howling down of other posters, many of whom are later proved correct.

However, I agree with you about Michie. I didn't see it either.

Gawn is of very similar dimensions to sandi. Very few ruckmen near that size in state comps. Lots of good mids though. Dunno whether that comparison is a fair one.

 

[Belnakor]

Damn, Melbourne are pretty harsh.

we had some classic ones in when malaxos was doing ours.

a guy would get like 8 touches for the game and the write up would like "Joe really worked hard in a scrappy low scoring game, managing to crash a few packs and work hard both ways. He transitioned strongly out of defense but wasn't used very often. He played on Johnston who kicked 8 for the game but we felt he competed really well. Really encouraging signs as Joe continues to build his game. We're really pleased with his efforts"

Not enough goods.
It would have been more like: "Joe really worked good in a scrappy low scoring game, managing to crash a few good packs and work good both ways. He transitioned good out of defense but wasn't used very often. He played on Johnston who kicked 8 for the game but we felt he competed really good. Really good signs as Joe continues to build his game. We're really pleased with his good efforts"
