C'mon Spook. If there's one poster I think of who doesn't accept soft efforts, it's you.
Binns has zero physical intensity. He runs up and down the wing beautifully avoiding the contest. And when he gets it, his kicking has no hurt factor whatsoever.
As for Boyd, I love his kicking but he leaks goals like a sieve.
Evans deserves his promotion every day of the week after his last showing. And Flynn Young gives us X factor we desperately need.
I would have considered O'Keefe but from memory, he's played 1 game in about 5 weeks.
I agree with the individual assessments of their performance and shortcomings throughout the year. I
Choosing to play anyone but ahead of them not just this week but the past six weeks (and I absolutely love what I've seen from Flynn so far) when they've both got another year to run on their contract is poor list management, and as much as I'm happy to stick with Voss - it's a question mark against him for mine, if he's not prepared to accept/tolerate the shortcomings, embrace the strengths they bring to the side and find a role that accentuates them.
If Voss and co genuinely believe that the data shows them that this side play their best footy with one club in the bag - nothing but repeat contested footy, fair enough, that's a debate to be had. It's difficult for me not to entirely dismiss that it's an emotional intelligence thing, "I played my footy like this, I was one of the greatest of all time, so should everyone else," which seems to be a hallmark of champion players/average coach dynamics.
