lol the envy of other clubs? we haven't made the finals in a decade and this the year we were meant to, we lose 7 in a row trying to play bruise free, and when we finally have a dig we now have the 2nd worst injury list in the entire afl.
there is nothing at cfc where we are the envy. except maybe Charlie - who is and should be untouchable.
we only need 1 premium FF - charlie. then get a cheaper 2nd option and keep Jack as the third. we stay mobile, we don't get in each other's way and we're not soaking up 2mil of salary cap for two players who play the same role. teams won't get a chance to triple team charles if we run and move the ball like we have been, and like we're discovering, that gamestyle requires depth and depth costs money and our pockets are empty.
Harry can't drop punt, struggles in front of goal, and for what he is offering up the field (a release valve and marking target out of defence) for 1 mil a season - we could get for half that. Casboult did it for 350k, mihocek and cox do it for 400k etc
i'm a little astounded people make so much about the two coleman medals when we're not making and winning finals. personal accomplishments are a nice bonus to winning, sure. but taking that, over building a deeper list & winning? please.
Not having a go at you, but some of your points.
Yes Harry and Charlie are the envy of most teams. Not Cats, yet. It’s obvious why. Surely you’ve heard opposition fans talk about the two prong attack they provide.
Your sample size is based on this terrible bad kicking streak of losses which have cost us games, not the kicking form that helped is win games.
Astounded about Coleman medal admiration? It’s a way of proving they can kick goals without having to say they can kick goals. You can’t take that away as much as you want to prove otherwise. It’s indelible and will be proof they kicked a lot of goals which proves they can. That’s why. I’m astounded you disregard that FACT.
Not making Finals is separate to Harry’s value to the team. I can, and you have given plenty of reasons over the last 5 years why we have failed to make Finals. You can’t put the blame on Harry.
There’s plenty of other players who are taking up places of potentially better players. Let me remind you we have recently traded in some very good bargains Cerra 600k Saad 600k Hewett 400k and Acres 400k whilst Harry has been paid whatever he’s been paid. It’s not about one player.
I respect the model you and Hutch are spruiking but let’s get real, Harry isn’t holding us back and there are no guarantees we will get better value than Harry and most important our recent form proves we have a good list, the game plan works if all players buy in and play their role, and most important, we may have the list to make finals and shake them up if we can have our most important players on the field. Amazing how much better we are with the inclusion of 2 players written off by many supporters, Cuningham and Martin. A fit Harry can only make us even better,
I’m spewing Harry and Walsh aren’t playing vs Pies this week.
