Strategy It’s the midfield, stupid

[BRL121]

Melbourne also used top picks on Jack Watts, Jack Trengove, Luke Jackson, Kossie Pickett, Sam Weideman, Angus Brayshaw, Christian Salem, Jimmy Toumpas, and traded 2 for Jake Lever, and another for Steven May. They've had a few.

So Melbourne only had a 50% success rate for their top draft picks.

Similar to most teams, I'd imagine

What do you mean random words? How can you struggle to understand Cripps is sitting at the top of the coaches votes for the year with 53? Most people would have him the best player in the league currently

Hately had more clearances and inside 50s than Keays, Equal in tackles with Keays, Equal most centre clearances with Laird, Pretty decent for his first AFL game as an inside mid while playing on Cripps

He is only going to get better if continued playing inside mid, Good experience for him learning from the best last week

Nice input bro, Love the typical ''bias'' claims when you can't give a normal response to stat sheet

Typical? How would you know what "typical" is if you're new?

They were stupid stats that didn't elicit a response.

But to appease you, while at Marvel on Sunday I kicked as many goals and stuck as many tackles as Luke Brown, Lachy Sholl and James Rowe combined last week. I also managed to equal the hit-out count of Ben Keays. I played a pretty decent game if you asked me.

Anyone else hear the thread title in their head spoken in Derek Zoolander's voice?

Cripps is a machine. He made Hately look like a boy. Tagging is a team effort but Crows mids lacked that. Didn’t help ROB was tapping to the opposition consistently!!

To be fair to Hately, both of Cripps goals were bullshit frees.

You said Hately did really well in keeping Cripps quiet

He did not keep Cripps quiet, who was in top 2 on ground

You then pivoted to some gibberish about Cripps being good

Hence: random word salad

Sounds like a random clown so far, but we’ll see

Do you think they will try to get cook into the CBA at some point this season for an extended period?

190cm mid with skills, pretty much exactly what we are looking for.

It is amusing the affect he has on you

 

[MarcusP2]

But i didn't say that at all? All i said was Hately performed fine?

But 'he was tagging Cripps and performed fine' implies he performed fine at tagging. He didn't.

already far too stacked in there.. doing that would go completely against the grain for the coaching panel.

we apparently wont be looking at moving sloane or seed onto the LTI so we can use a pick in the MSD either.. too stacked.

the clowns running this club are delusional.. they mysteriously think they are holding a full house when they’ve really got a pair of 10’s, a 2 of clubs, a 3 of spades and a 5 of hearts…

it really is astounding.

Lots on here want to try everyone in the midfield, e.g., Doedee, who has no agility.
I would make an exception for Cook. He may well have what it takes.

 

[Sanders]

More so he performed fine considering he was tagging Cripps, That quote is to a reply comparing Hately and Berry

He was on Cripps, he did not do fine

Yeah but he is actually a mid.

Makes sense. So no.

Sorry, I should have said he was listed as as a midfielder.

Looks impressive and fit. Fingers crossed for me that he gets their.

Yep.
