Any updates on Wilkie or butts?

No, just the same old doubts and jokes

 

[King Harold]

If not previously, he'd certainly be looking to get away from the current dumpster fire there.

It's so bad there I almost feel bad for them. Almost.

Take a couple of Bex and have a lie down , you are not well !

new Melbourne coach.

 

[Ash1337]

Steven King new Melbourne coach.

Thought it would be Kelly. Lade was also on the short list.

Didn’t West have a broken jaw which put him out then only played VFL after that? (Though his VFL form was ordinary as you say)

Yes. My mistake. So, to see where else I went wrong I went back and looked took over his form leading up to his injury and his form ranged from good where he hit the scoreboard to pretty quiet where he didnt. In the end I think he only missed a single game before the lead up to finals. However, Im not sure that even with the bye it would've been wise to play him within two weeks of his injury. But my initial point stands. He wouldn't have been the difference to us winning and losing a final by 6 goals.

Having said that, I was wrong about him being dropped. So its plausible that I could be wrong about Rylee making a 6 goal difference regardless of his patchy form leading into finals.

Also only had 1 goal 12 disposals in the vfl game as well

In a nutshell, any news?

There you go. I was wrong again. They did play him within 2 weeks of fracturing his jaw.

Would like to think it helped him this year become the player he is

R U OK day was yesterday, Norm...

 

[Maverick Dog]

And McNeil, gags and Vdm all had an amazing game showing how valuable players they are and the mind boggles how they missed out being an AA. In reality we all knew the 3 would deliver far less than a slightly underperforming West whose poor games is still far better than those VFL stars.

 

[Unorth]

West should have played last year, like Treloar should have played this year. He wasn’t quite as good as he was this year, but he had runs on the board and was worth taking a risk with.

McNeil’s two worst games are probably those two games. There are a couple of others who were predictably poor in that Hawks final that West could have played over.

It’s funny - there’s a defence of the selection of certain players revolving around ‘yeah they don’t get the stats but they’re critical for structure’ - this did not apply to West who had a proven record making life difficult for interceptions players, as well as being a genuine goal scoring threat himself. Instead, Sicily absolutely tore his direct opponent up and was highly influential.

Mistakes were made. Lessons were not learned. What worse outcome could have occurred had we taken risks? What better outcome might have been more likely to be obtained?

Anyway.

If Treloar was available for the last game then sure. But he wasn't. West also didn't play well in his last VFL game and wasn't playing well in his last few games before he got injured. He was barely impacting games. His last 6 games he only kicked 3 goals.

Butts is not chance to leave Adelaide after their performance tonight. Their defence has been shithouse

Given they chose not to play him and their defence has been shit house, how so?

He would've done a hell of a better job on Gunston

 

[lachy]

Yes and his club did not trust him. Gives us a much bigger opportunity

 

[FoochPackage]

Geeee. Glad we didn't go all out for Barrass. Was too risky. Some people honestly.

 

[Foxman98]

We did he chose Hawthorn

With our poor over the ground defence would not have helped much this year. Our issues were bigger than 1 player

Better to sook about the club for some posters here. Had a proper crack, package similar chose the Hawks. Not like we are in a serious competition
