That’s not going to get it done
It’s the same as last year
Cripps Walsh Curnow the rest
Gibbons is our next best and is finally getting a crack in there
Cottrell showed some intensity on a wing last night
Should of played round one but guys like Setterfield and Dow O’Brien are picked because of their reputation
For years some blokes internally are overrated largely due to where they were picked in the draft
Cuningham Dow O’Brien Setterfield have been given opportunities over others and have failed. They have been giving decent long term contracts as well where a guy like Gibbons or Cottrell who to me are better players have to fight every step of the way
Teague has to play SPS in the midfield.
He was good last night but played the easy role in defence
Play Philp( another with a long term deal) Stocker Honey Ramsay see what they have got
Play Cottrell in the middle Honey on a wing
Williams back will help
Martin has been tried in the midfield but has failed so far. Give him a go there although don’t hold your breath
Kennedy is average. He has been tried there and not come up with the goods either
It’s easy to look good when you come on when everyone is rooted
The bottom line is if you have 4 consistently good mids your going nowhere.
We won the contested possessions and only lost the clearances 46 to 39, hardly a smashing.
Did you sleep through the last quarter? Our midfield generated 8 scoring shots to their 3 when the game was there to be won. How does that fit in with being smashed?
How did you like Murphy’s tackles?
Whomever selected Gibbons was a genius for looking in the state league comps don’t you think?
In relation to Gibbons you need to tell the full story
I know Andy Collins personally and he is a good judge of a footballer
He was constantly talking up Gibbons in the press miffed that no AFL club wanted him
So he was known to all and sundry
SOS didn’t pick him originally
He picked Goddard and Tom Bugg as rookie
Guess where Bugg played first
You guessed it
GWS
So don’t make out that SOS was a genius recruiter
I reckon where we finish this year will be a true indicator of the messiahs recruiting legacy
So are you claiming that SOS didn’t pick him? It’s an easy question.
Nice deflection on the other points....
