I think you are forgetting he is super good at tackling though.

Agreed, about 20 players I'd be taking aim at first. Lots of marks too which indicates he worked pretty hard to get into space.

lol
The worst part most of his tackles and the teams doesn't even stick. If you're going to play the defensive game plan you need players who can nail the tackle, we don't even have pressure these days

Pav isn't the problem.
The game plan and the players are.
We can't even transition the ball from the defense to midfield these days.
One thing I didn't miss from last year was how much Pav played for free kicks and was quick to appeal to umpires.
How I wish Josh Simpson had worked out. Exactly what we need. And Crozier to not stagnate. They are two guys we drafted recently with proper kicking skills who should be entrenched in the side.
People are kidding themselves if they think Ross is going to reinvent things this year. It's basically just going to be try and do the same as 2015 and add Bennell and hope Fyfe doesn't get injured. Sounds like an OK plan based on last year's results, but the jig might be up.

Poor skills and poor decision making killed us. Clancee was a total liability with and without the ball. Mzungu wasn't far off. Mayne's set shot range is lamentable. Our spread was non existent, we couldn't get it out of defensive fifty to save ourselves, our forward line is toothless and lacks any spark or even competency. Other than that we were okay.
I'd agree if we had someone other than Jack Hannath to fill the immediate void. Real shame that Apeness is injured right now, I see us replacing Pav with a small/medium forward and playing Mayne at FF. God I hate our forward line.

I think Collins is a real chance if Pav does get suspended. Has been really impressive so far.

Whether you were at the game or not, Sheridan was BOG for us, along with Neale and Dawson.
I know this is the melt thread, but I'd make a fortune if I sold sackcloth and ashes.

Sheridan isn't the problem, its the players they have got a free pass for 4 years.
Sheridan has plenty of upside, its the spuds like Mayne that are finished.

Yes amazed with the season so young and there ages.
I think I'd much prefer that to upgrading Smith and playing him forward or any combination of our ruckmen. After today I think Shane Yarran suddenly becomes important, drafted as a plug and play forward and his competition is virtually nil so when he's properly match fit we need him to show something.
Also wholly agree that Crozier's stagnation is really hurting us and it's hard to see him breaking out of the rut any time soon, if ever.

Lot of our players were closer to their peak then though, champions can plat til early to mid thirties but average joes not so much.

Exactly how I view it.
Last year you couldn't really do much with it at what, 10-1 and then on to a minor premiership.
Exposed for a lack of pace, youth and skills, we need to start injecting the 'kids' even if they are not dominating the WAFL.
