If the VFL team that played on Sunday is the best that we have going forward, then all I can say is that the cupboard is pretty bare. Again we are very deficient when it comes to emerging KEY POSITION players. In addition, most of our players appear under-sized & lacking muscle when compared to the opposition. Far too many lightweights!
That would be another misuse of WHE and the sub
He’s looking good the last few week. Competing well in air, kicking goals, and is very good for a tall on the ground.
To be comptely fair and balanced, it’s not his list. He’s 18months in, had only had really 1 trade period as 21 was all daicos. He’s still dealing with fall outs of prior admin, losses of draft capital, salary cap. To have us competing for a flag after all that is mighty impressive. There’s likely a fall coming due to ageing personnel, let’s just hope we can snag one before it happens
If you allow that many opposition uncontested marks you just aren't going to get the footy back. This is also why we had way less possessions.
That’s how I felt watching it after the seniors. Dejavu. We just guarded space and they chipped their way up the wings with little interruption in the first especially. Their transition out of defence was a training drill in the first quarter.
Is it enough to secure a new contract? Or is too late?
But the problem is we have to cut some players and holistically, we were awful so clearly we need to change. It's brutal who'll leave as they all have potential but it's the reality of the game.
I've felt that way for a few years now. We always seem to have smallish lightly built VFL players. Yet we have finished one point short of a GF last year and have sat on top most of this year. Lucky? Not really as we have had our share of injuries.
Surely Declase gets back onto another list
Yeah, our most experienced were our captains in Tardrew who was out leading ball winner, and Hustwaite, who reminds me of Adams. Heart and soul player.
