So Houlahan plays at half forward and looks a reasonable player. He is in his 2/3rd year.. He has a goal kicking routine where he runs out to the right and hooks it left. And misses.. How is this the case? Player Development??? Seriously!

I’m more interested in why he hasn’t fixed his kicking action / routine? In a professional industry where I have reservations about our player Development, this to me is a prime example of a skill deficiency that should’ve been addressed by now?Player misses goal at VFL level. Stop the presses.

It doesn’t work for him hence the question posed.Maybe his unusual technique has been found to be better for him than a standard "good" action, ala Josh Kennedy. Maybe he just can't get it right and that's why he's still in the VFL and hasn't debuted. Either way, hardly worth losing your nana over.
Sounds like a development crisis tooThis is the injury crisis no one is talking about. Hartley is rucking and Ridley is playing full forward
My biggest concern. Players aren’t improving. I went along today looking for something. Zerk Thacher is out of form. Langford going through the motions. Ridley out of position. Like the seniors.Sounds like a development crisis too
throw in a recruiting crisis and we covered the whole gamutSounds like a development crisis too

I probably should have put it in inverted commas. All this stuff about players have to play in their positions... until they don't.I’m not buying into that as a thing.
Our AFL list is the 2nd most inexperienced in the AFL, how many with that profile don’t have issues with consistency?
Chuck in injuries and it’s pretty much going as suspected. Preuss is currently rucking against someone in his 2nd VFL game, and he’s going to lead the line for the foreseeable future with no real help in sight
He isn't though.
Excessive assertion. Missing our five best players at vfl level in Mynott, Draper, Stewart, Laverde, Brown or Smack. Plus Gleeson, Mutch and Jok. There has to be a breaking point.
We went 2-7 last year in the regular season against top 8 sides, 7-2 against bottom 7 sidesExcessive assertion. Missing our five best players at vfl level in Mynott, Draper, Stewart, Laverde, Brown or Smack. Plus Gleeson, Mutch and Jok. There has to be a breaking point.
Well it is hard to surpass the Myers-Bags standard.granted i haven’t been able to watch any VFL this year, but it seems odd that when we smash teams, no one puts their hands up for senior selection, and when we get pantsed, no one puts their hands up for selection.
