List Mgmt. Who to delist next??

[Eaglemaniac]

Eaglemaniac - under Worsfold the plan was for young Selwood to become a more offensive midfielder thereby creating a space for a pure lockdown player within the squad/team - McGinnity. Unfortunately for Dalziell - the combination of being a freewheeling wingman (with limited skills) and being OOC proved fatal.

Likely Simpson will have a different midfield strategy for Scott which may influence whether McGinnity gets considered. No doubt however, that under Simpson's penchant for quality ball use, McGinnity will be under the pump.

Thanks for your insight as always Bond. I and many others appreciate it.

I think alot of us could see that Woosh had changed his plans for Selwood based on the way he has played the last season or so. I guess most of us just couldnt understand his overrating of McGinnity. It was almost like he was trying to make him a success because he saw some of his own self in McGinnity, and i think it has been to the squads detriment at times. Woosha used to reward players on form, not name, and that was part of what made our club so successful in the past. Once he started going away from that, our team started to struggle as well. Hopefully Simpson sticks to his guns and rewards players on form and finds good users of the ball in our list, and also finds a way to make the most of them via game plan & strategy etc. I'm looking forward to seeing what he comes up with.

It is a delicate task balancing between having a game plan that suits your players and playing players that suits your game plan.

The beauty of WC post 2013, is that it will be new and players and supporters alike will take some time to get used to it. Feel positive about Simpson, he's a good coach and a ripper bloke.

Absolutely, ive had some experience with it at a lower level so i know what you mean. I'm hoping that a professional club with the kind of resources we have at our disposal would have a little more ability to shape the list to what the coach needs to get the job done.
I believe Simpson will be a good coach and he was the guy i wanted all along, so i'm looking forward to see what 2014 will bring.
Thanks again for your insight Bond.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

I watched the West Coast Essendon replay from last year at Etihad last night and he was hitting targets with hit up 30m kicks and played very well. My opinion on Priddis is bias though, i always stick up for him because played with him through juniors and want him to stick around and do well.

That was his best game of the year by a country mile though.

Ah, the secret formula..

When Priddis plays well, we all play well.

That would depend on your interpretation of him "playing well".

It was his certainly best game as far as his outside running and linking up on the outside. Though i'm not sure how much that had to with Essendon players standing on the spot.
