He also got concessed which stop his progression nothing to with hind having a better season.As a former local boy I hope Langlands gets a shot later in the year, but at this stage, Hind has had the better year with Sandy. Which is to be expected seeing as though he is the mature recruit.
Hind - Avg Disp 23 Avg Eff Disp 17
Langlands - Avg Disp 16.8 Avg Eff Disp 12
Last 2 games have been good. Need to see more. We have to remember who our last 2 opponents were for Sandy.

Dermie talked about it on radio yesterday. He is having scans today to determine how long he will be out for which is why he is listed as indefinite. Could be 3-5 weeks, could be season ending.
Don't understand where all this talk has come from thinking of Acres as an " inside mid "You don't think that picking Armo is sure sign that Acres isn't up to playing in the square as an inside mid?
If that's not a signal, I don't know what is.

I believe he is at his best as a mid for sure, but def not a classic inside mid.....My thinking is that he can offer us a point of difference
But as an Outside mid! Would love to see him just given his head for a week and let the boy roam, his strengths are as a creative
Ball carrier that can break lines and give us plenty of drive out of the middle!
Ideally i would love to see us set up in the middle this week with Dunstan as our inside beast switching with Armo for that role
Gresham playing the Jack Steven role of an inside/outside traditional rover if you like, he will have to do the bulk of that role this week
With the odd burst of Clark to relieve and then in the outside capacity Acres and Ross sharing that role at different intervals
Throughout the game....This mixes it up nicely and does not compromise our speed and variety in the middle!
Acres might not be Cripp's second coming, but we've seen from when he plays in the ruck that he can do pretty well as an on baller. Armo will give effort and probably get 22 touches half contested etc (while also over running it on five or so occasions cos he can't pick it), but I seriously think Acres deserves a run as a pure mid, he can be seriously damaging in his strange goat way. I do think he'll get more of a chance though now steele's gone down, let's hope he grabs it with both hoofs
Don't particularly care for the term that he is a Goddard wannabe! But i think i know what you mean and in a lot of waysTo me he's a bit of a Brendon Goddard wannabe.
I've done mine twice - not a lot of pain until I looked down and sawDoes anyone have more info on Steele's dislocated knee-cap? Sounds disgusting.
Listed as indefinite, which never reads well.
He is picked in his perfect spot. He is a winger. No excuses if he does play mostly there.
Why can't he swap/alternate with Ross in the centre square? And then onto a wing which would be that position that you plonk those 2 midsHe is picked in his perfect spot. He is a winger. No excuses if he does play mostly there.

A Where the kneecap was, and
B the direction of my lower leg.
The first one popped pretty much straight back in and I was able to walk off the ground. Was playing again in about 4 weeks.
Second one ended up stretching all the ligaments (nothing tore or broke) and because I wasn't a professional sportsperson (and therefore unlikely committed enough to do the amount of rehab required after surgery) they just stuck my leg in plaster for 6 weeks and I spent the next 3 months walking up and down the pool doing heaps of exercises.
As predicted by the doctor (a very young Peter Larkins actually) I did enough to get back to probably 90% strength but wasn't committed enough to get the last 10% so no football, basketball, skiing etc after that.
If there's ligament damage and he needs surgery he will be fine because I doubt Jack is as slack as me.

When they are not starting in the square! Therefore solving your permanent belief that our mids cannot play anywhere but in the centre square!
I like the changes. Armo was needed for leadership and will surprise a few. Hind and White deserve a start more than Coffield, he really struggled and being a Pick 8 doesn’t get you a game with us anymore. Marsh and acres were always coming back in. Hunter/Armo battling not to be replaced by Hanners next week.
Yeah I remember watching Maxfield/Creswell (whoever!!!) trying to knock it back into place and yelling at the TV No No No!!! It looked so brutal and gruesome.Yes there are degrees. I think Stewie Maxfield just knocked his back into place and played out the game and didn't miss a game.
Just because he doesn't fit the stereotype of what a classic mid looks like does not mean he can't play that role or that he doesn't have midfield skills!Because IMO he doesn't have midfield skills. No agility. Not a fast thinker. Not quick by hand or foot. Perfect outside winger because once he gets speed up he can break tackles and doesn't need to be as quick by hand or foot and agility is close spaces doesn't matter.
Wasn't that Darryn Creswell?Yes there are degrees. I think Stewie Maxfield just knocked his back into place and played out the game and didn't miss a game.

Did Goddard? No agility is rubbish and whilst i agree he is more outside than in so is the man we seem to have permanently positioned in there at the moment
In Ross and he is not up to handling the role all by himself!
So again what is stopping them from alternating in the square and then out onto a wing where Ross has also shown he can play!
Wasn't that Darryn Creswell?
What good story?Yes it was but I was talking about a time I was having a kick with Stewie and he did it. Please don't let the truth get in the way of a good story.
That's completely avoiding the question and just going the cheap comparison with a proven star!Not sure Goddard played as a pure mid to much but lets get serious. Acres is not Goddard.
