Well what a surprise. A bad loss and as usual, the negative viruses infect the site.
Suddenly Shane McAdam is Leigh Matthews and Jack Martin is a bust.
Yet if anyone wants to look at the facts, Jack Martins performance this year has been far superior to McAdams. More games played, more than 50% increase on possessions per game, better disposal efficiency, plays midfield so he gets clearances, more marks per game, more inside 50's, more score involvements, more pressure, same amount of goals per game (even though he also plays midfield), more metres gained etc etc etc.
And Hawthorn are suddenly the beacon on how to exit their older players (Yet they were running around wth about 10 players 30 or older this year).
Yes it was a shit loss and yes mistakes have been made but the reaction from some of the sooks on here has been embarrassing. It's like looking at a 5 year old who didn't get his bike for Christmas. Try looking at the reality instead of swallowing the opinions pushed by those with agendas. Funnily enough, they're the same posters who will tell you that you're the one that's uninformed.
Do your own research before joining the pile on. The list requires free agent additions but it isn't the bust we're hearing here. It just needs to be utilised to its strength. I have no doubt we'll play finals next year if we can nail the free agent and trade acquisitions required.
A percentage in excess of 95, contending for finals with 2 games to go. Has everyone suddenly forgotten where we were before this season?
The main reason Adelaide have been terrible is that their midfield has been missing most of the year. So Nicks through necessity put Laird in there. He has been a revelation. I’ve advocated to try Doc in there. Anyway with the Crouch brothers back and Sloane they have played some solid footy. Add Sholl who was a pick 64 a and their mids slaughtered us when it truly mattered.
Silvangi had 5 drafts and trade periods.Ed Curnow was at the club before he arrived. He is at the moment our second best mid by the length of the Flemington straight.
That’s the issue Austin must address. Our midfield is shit.
