Player Watch Steele Sidebottom

It's more than just that though - the current situation gives the Northern clubs a massive advantage and will give the WA clubs one too.

Northern academies give a massive advantage to northern clubs not F/S.

The simple solution is to give all clubs a proper academies
And put player development in the hands of those who are actually incentivised to develop players.

Zones aren't a simple solution if you want an even competition. Getting them even would be impossble in a competition landscape with the current distribution of clubs. Massive advantage to WA clubs.

I never mentioned zones

It's part of the academies. How would proper academies work without zones?

Good game by the old man! First time he’s kicked 3 goals since 2018 ANZAC Day! What timing!

Him and Pendles really showed their experience, very rarely do they go missing in finals.

if we're looking for guys to get to 400, Crisp is the one.

My favourite thing about this thread is that it started was started when at a point in time that conceivably could have been considered the middle of his career at that point… over ten years ago

Cant do that for Pendles. The internet wasn't around then

I reckon Crisp is losing effectiveness already. I'm not sure he will make another 6-7 years

Doesn’t that come down to expectations? 2025 hasn’t been his best year but he’s been a solid role player, and played in whatever role the team has needed. Is Crisp the solid role player still worthy of a spot in the bottom half dozen players in the team?

Crisp relies on speed way more than Sidebottom and Pendlebury

He does to be a weapon. Crisp breaking from a tackler and bursting away is becoming much rarer. But he might be able to be a role player well after he's dropped from his Copeland trophy finals star level.

Yeah, exactly. Watching him literally break through a tackle at half back, and then sprint straight through the middle of the ground used to be a common thing when he was playing half back (in his B&F years). It was a true site to behold.
