I'm not far off, I'd just keep for depth or rookie. Only reason I think he's playing is so they at least know what they've got. Having said that sides supposedly challenging for a flag should probably be putting their best 22 out there rather than just seeing what's on their list a la Richmond right now.
Yeah but you also think we need no speed down back?!? Which just shows how out of touch you are with footy in 2016, your perfect back 6 (in no particular order) is Enright, Bartel, Lonergan, Henderson, Taylor, and Mackie. We need two quick players in our back 6 if we are to be adaptable and do anything serious in finals in 2016. I suspect someone on the coaches staff is recognising that and why since the Stkilda and Sydney debacles were seeing a smaller side with Cowan, Cocky, Menegola and others being given more time at half back.
Incorrect.
If the set up/concept is wrong in modern footy it doesn't matter about the quality of players you have you're stuffed!
Oh, and I do rate Cowan and think he'll only get better and be a really viable option for us if we play him in the last month of the season...he won't improve playing VFL anymore.
Your problem may be you take the comments way too seriously.Reading these threads. Funny. I'm glad we aren't the match committee. Not a single player would get more than 2 games in a row in the seniors.
Caddy is not AFL material.
Can't wait for Caddy to come back. His loss has really put a hole in our midfield.
Clark will save our forward line! Let's delist Hawkins.
We have to get rid of Clark.
Who the hell is Menegola?
Menegola is a lock and will win the Norm Smith!
Scott Selwood must come in. Menegola should make way.
I doubt that's actually possible.
It rests in having at least 2 fast smaller defenders, I personally think it relies on having four rotating between midfield defence and forward (depending on the player) I just think Cowan is important in that mix of probably Menegola, Guthrie, Cocky, and Cowan because the only other alternative is Bews who while improving isn't ready for a pressure final. Cowan is an important inclusion IMO because if he's not included it will be indicative that a wider philosophy has been taken by our MC of not believing pace in defence is important and if that happens as I've agued for some time now we'll be in trouble due to the lack options we'll have in changing and adapting our game style within games.Geez BlightysCats, if our fate rests in Cowan's hands as much as you say I'm as pessimistic about our chances as you are!
(Luckily that's complete folly)
I disagree but I'm confident we'll get the chance to see if he does or not.
Not sure why you would be confident about that. He will be the first one out for Caddy and S.Selwood so unless we get a few injuries....
Blicavs will go out before him, or Bews.
He's played 8 games of footy?!?! Given the fact we have nobody to bring in as a running defender and the form I posted above he's a certainty to stay in for mine and as I said more games prior to finals will only make him better.
Happy to wager on Blicavs if you're game. He won't get dropped.
Can't stand up in a tackle, poor when possession rushed, not particularly skilled, etc.
Can't see it happening.
Starting next week, I will take comments here less seriously. I promise. I'm serious.Your problem may be you take the comments way too seriously.
I'm not saying that I'm confident about this, but I reckon that both Bews and Menegola will be dropped before Cowan is.
