no denial, its a shit record. Denial isnt that you can't see something, its that seeing it doesn't change your opinion because its set. I feel your opinions are set - Williams, Setterfield are two examples. I worry about Setters on the wing, I also know he has played some excellent games and I am happy to be proven wrong. Williams...it's just far too early to tell (though early signs are fantastic - which you deny looking at/taking into account - is your mind set?) and again - for the third and last time - we do not know exactly what money they are on (individual) and about why they are on that money (the entire list) but you deny these factors because they do not fit into your world view - hence denialism.
I don’t think I am set in my ways
And I think you and others are ignoring things.
Setterfield is a similar player Nick Graham
One gets a long term contract
One gets the arse after getting 28 possessions in a 109 point loss
From what I see Graham’s output was more than Setterfield is producing
Setterfield can only be effective as an inside mid because he lacks pace
When Cripps and Curnow have had downers he invariably hasn’t stepped up
To fill the void
Williams is talented
Your correct
We don’t know exactly how much he is on but we do know it’s way overs because there is no denying how free agency works without giving up
Draft picks
I was optimistic at the start of 2016 when our President said “ we have listened to our supporters and there will be no more quick fixes”
3 years later where clearly SOS may have wasted some top picks on midfielders who were looking pretty shit he goes out and wastes three good picks, Shane McAdam and Nathan Kreuger ( he will debut for the cats bar injury this year)
On Setterfield and the ultimate cameo player McGovern
Looking back nearly three years the club was full of shit and was drinking it’s own bath water
That’s unless Setterfield steps up as an inside mid
McGovern pulls his finger out all together
All this is factual info, my opinions
Notice the second last sentence
I ain’t set in my ways
You and I and everyone in the universe can battle it out on all these deep and meaningfuls but at the end of the day it comes around to results on the field
Giving the last 20 years I dare say my thoughts and opinions have been fairly accurate
Hopefully things are about to change
