Which A-Grade Midfielder?

[Elite Crow]

It's annoying how Sydney have the wood on us after we had the wood on them for a good decade.

Their mids always kill us in contested ball, even when we are one of the best contested teams.

Time to change strategy playing them...

It's because their midfield is better and that was with Danger

 

[baldandbroke]

Someone else who throws huge tantrums with a quivering bottom lip sniffing how much they don't care. Just like...

Wait a minute...

Well Sanders, there is no way you could be confused for a tantrum throwing lip quiverer that keeps posting about things they don't care about. You are known for just positive constructive posts that add depth to every discussion, never playing the man [emoji849]

Let's get back to the footy talk hey?

But their midfield was made to look like fools to lesser contested ball winning teams.

We can't beat them at what they are better at, so need to beat them on the outside.

Lol, good luck with that...

Who is Alex?

Right answer!

The thing is, you aren't called a top 5 player in the comp for no reason. That's a conclusion generally drawn based upon a whole range of factors, achievements etc etc.

When you total all those things up, across a number of seasons, a player is that good that he gets that reputation - it speaks for itself.

So yes I counter your post by simply referring to him as one of the top players in the comp which is really all that needs to be said.

Attempts to dissect and discredit his game are petty and run contrary to pretty much every opinion of note in the game

So - you're not going to actually offer any opinions to counter what he's said? You're going to just go with the "there's a reason he has a good reputation"?

Pretty lazy way to lose an argument.

If you disagree with his points you actually have to argue them or you lose by forfeit.

I'm still enjoying you trying to balance not caring with a desperate compulsion to have the last word

Sorry didn't realise this is the Ultimate Arguing Competition.

But Yep spot on, that's my position, unless you can come with some other explanation for his achievements and reputation.

As long as we keep adding skilful players we can move away from it.

Or we bite the bullet and accept that even with the best contested ball winner in the comp and a handy sidekick it got us nowhere. It's a shame that we seem to have finally addressed outside run at the same time we've lost our primary inside grunt weapon. But surely we need to evolve from our current MO.

I'm still enjoying you trying to balance not caring with a desperate compulsion to have the last word. See how that works?

Very true - no doubt Pyke will have had a plan in mind, however there is also little doubt that plan will have needed to be tailored to the strengths of the side as it now is.

Isn't our real issue that sometimes we just don't turn up to play.

No I reckon it's turnovers

Well god damn it lets fix that ASAP. How do we go from hero to zero in one week.

When we play better opposition they put on more pressure and make the most of our turnovers.

I think we are making changes the players we've brought in over the last 2 years.

Very funny. Right up there with Wallsy's, "give him a run in ruck solution" for any guy over 6'4" struggling to get their hands on it. I think our problem is that in the games we lose we often don't seem to have scored as much as our opponents. Fix that and we'll be hard to beat.
