Yeah, I'm with Syd. Keogh is proposing more of the same, just trash it all every few years and start again. Maybe this time we'll get it right. Trouble with your approach, keogh, is you just look for any reason to throw players you're set against into the bin. Case in point, Newnes. He's had a poor season, granted, and it's a bit of a mystery, but he was a very solid contributor last year, a rare successful UFA pickup that nearly all fans would gladly have near the bottom of their 22. But in your eyes, nope, done and dusted. That recruiter whose article was linked to in another thread says he always judges players at their best, not their worst, because it's more useful to know what a player is capable of. You judge players at their worst, hence you want to retain about 4 or 5 players and delist everyone else, and you want the MC to swing a dozen changes every week. It's fantasy football, and it won't work.
Newnes best was at best average at the Aints
Ask anyone at Linton St and they will tell you they were glad he went
Has almost zero defensive game
Shocking recruiting
So he one us a game after the siren
What else has he done
What’s he done overall to contribute to our progress
Negative
Martins isn’t much better
I keep saying it
In eight years he was
1 Rising star nominee
2 3 Rd in a B+F at GC
That’s his best
Pretty shit isn’t it
Be honest
And yet Carlton pay him 1 million last year front loading his contract
To fit 2 blokes you can’t play midfield and the coach can’t trust them to shut down the best small forward s
If Martin isn’t dropped nothing has changed
You can talk all you want
Have as many reviews or pressers you want
90% action
10% talk
It’s been the other way for 20 years
And please don’t replace him with Murphy
Give Carroll a go
Nobody knows
He might play a blinder and give us a bit of hope
