Some of this discussion is extremely puzzling...
Despite his obvious foibles, Red averages the most marks per game in our team by quite a way and averages more contested marks per game than both our ruckmen and loses out to only Bont, Woody, and Grizz in this category. Roughead just last week was labelled an "elite contested mark" on here. Either we're setting the bar extremely low for Roughead or picking and choosing where to assess players harshly. Redpath literally almost doubles up our next best guy for marks i50 average.
I agree that in contests Redpath sometimes doesn't pass the eye test, but some seem to be sinking the boot in rather hard in here for a guy who is clearly quite useful as a 3rd forward in a good football side.
I would've thought the more obvious problem is our second forward in Stringer has fallen off a cliff, and we don't have a first forward. Given Redpath's two strengths (getting on the end of it inside 50, and kicking it straight from a set shot) are two of our biggest overall weaknesses, I'm not exactly keen to boot him out the door. If he had given us a token 15 or 16 games this year, he'd be our leading goalkicker.
