You mean disappointed like we all are every week, month or season?
Ballsy team, would give us a different look, that's for sure. I think we would be belted on the inside tho, but don't know if u don't try.I’m of the view that Ryder isn’t a super effective ruckman anymore and certainly isn’t a dangerous enough option going forward. I can appreciate he’s dropped some weight and is a handy back up but there’s just no way he fits into the 22 with the shortened quarters. He probably plays if there’s even a 5 man extended bench but not 4 so it is a close call.
Given the above, I’m comfortable with King rucking for 4mins per quarter as it will get his hands on the ball and we could really use his athleticism around the ball with such garbage mids.. having Marshall and King switching b/w ruck/FF for the next 10 years is quite the thought. Imagine having two Peter Everett’s!! With the possibility of adding a third who would likely be the stay at home CHF in B King.
I digress.. Other points I’d like make include Battle performing said stay at home CHF role for now as he can actually kick it through. Imagine having the next Jack darling and not picking him..
Clark plays the whole year as a ruck rover, there’s no reason to play him off half back any more if we have Long Webster and Roberton up and going. Coffield plays the defensive wing role all year while hill is the attacking winger.
Stop picking dean Kent! Bloke is a shocking kick.. sold some fake news there bloody hell. Another bad kick makes way in dunstan
Gresham 50/50 forward where he belongs as he’s not a good enough field kick to play on ball full time. Billings to be the next dal santo hopefully
My 2020 losing elimination final team is as follows:
Wilkie Howard Webster
Long Carlisle Roberton
Hill Clark Coffield
Parker Battle Gresham
King Membrey (C) Lonie
Marshall Hanneberry Billings
Jones Butler Ross
Steele
Geary Joyce Dunstan
Ryder Marsh Sinclair
That full forward line sucks ,,, Sorry mate
That's for sure- it's the missing link in us getting up the ladder and into finals, but need to get a bit more inventive around midfield selection and try something new.
Webster isnt going to fix our mid issues , thats just clutching at straws, lets hope bytel can help out in the middle
Jeez our depth has improved if Hunter can't get a run in either side
From I've seen in the practice games and what I've read on here, they keep using him as a forward and occasionally run him through the midfield. Thats the role he played in the game at Morwell against the Hawks. Did some of the forward half ruckwork as well.
Why would you expect players like Savage or Sinclair when they didnt get a game rd1 - and in Savage's case not in all the preseason games - despite being fit and able to play?
Those Two and a few more need to be pushed out if we are ever going to challenge for a flag again , we have way to many nice blokes -GOP's
Jeez our depth has improved if Hunter can't get a run in either side
He played the first but not the second one.
We aren’t going back to savage surely. Depth now. I’d rather coffield if they want to replace robbo. Having said that Carlisle is the logical replacement. Battle replaces Ryder and maybe Kent is in trouble but I didn’t think he was that bad in the first game apart from the usual saints disease of kicking poorly. I can’t fit Webster in the side but I wish I could.
He can take Geary's spot surely. .
I agree. I dont think we are looking at Savage as anything but depth, which is why he only played the one preseason game while players like Paton and Coffield played in both.
