Synners, why do you say fiddling? Kreuzer is our number 1, lets see how Warnock goes if Hammer doesn't come up. Cloke proved again he isn't a ruckman, we need to know where our backup plan is at.
Watching the guy on telly playing for the Bullants... he looked miles and miles off AFL league footy standard..
He has hardly played in 2 years.... he has blown out to 103 kilos... cos he hasnt run ...
usually players bulk up in the ps.. and once they start to run they shed abit... he has no match conditioning...were kidding ourselves if we believe he will just come in and make a difference at this stage of the season... the games are going to hot up and the players that arent up to the pace will be left for dead,,.
Cloke isnt the long term answer... but he does compete.. and he can position himself at the right spots...
We just have to go down the Hampson /Cloke road this year... i believe...
... with Warnock allowed to get himself right for next year...
Our improvement wont come from Warnock playing this year....how well we go in the finals will be determined by what we get out of our senior group... guys like Scotland.. Fev... Houlla.. Thornton.. Stevens... etc...
Thats where our finals season will be determined from this year... not Warnock...
I believe he will most likely throw things out of wack if he plays... he just hasnt covered the miles and his body is not hardened to play finals footy.. which will add more pressure on the team and especially K...
Thats my feeling...
Well said.
Put a proper preseason into him before getting him onto the field. No need to rush it.
