Please show me where I have said he isn’t? I actually said he’s been a heck of a player
Talk about 1+1=3
As usual you are pushing a hateful agenda, playing the man and not dealing in facts.
Same people same comments
Not having a crack at Haynes but he is 33 and past his best. People seem to think he is still a top line player. I also don't agree with "Modern CHB" type. It's total defence now and different roles. You have a combination of talls, mobile talls and runners
He was brought in as cheap depth...
I really hope a Young, Durdin, Silvagni or Phillips step up and can take the major Key forward every week.
Release Weitering to intercept/third man up and use his great kicking and McGovern as well as third tall defender where he can do the same.
These three surrounded by runners like Saad...
He's 33 early this year and last year he played 9 VFL games. He wasn't a first choice best 22
At his best he was a heck of player and I can see him playing a role at times. The Newman injury opens up another spot but I would be disappointed if he plays most weeks as we have Weitering McGovern...
I think in most cases we will go with three taller players. Weitering Young McGovern Silvagni Haynes Durdin/Phillips are the choices so competition is good.
Don't forget Jack. If what he is producing as a KPD in only last week is an example many people are going to be very surprised and I think he may affect how we pick our SSPs.
Saw Jack standing next to Weitering and there was no real difference in size. Jack was probably slightly leaner but that...
I watched some replays of SA Under 18s and Ben was as effective as Sid Draper in the middle. They were a good combination. Sid is just more dynamic and stands out but Ben was very good
100% and its what we need. A couple of these players that will step up and make a difference to what we have
Having Ollie Boyd Saad Wilson Lucas Cowan Docherty (Carroll and/or White) as running defender options is really exciting and IMO something we really need
I thought we may have used...
Are we short or is because people don't rate them?
We have Weitering (Star)
Young (I don't really rate) but is a genuine KPD
Minimum one of Phillips or Durdin who are both big bodies
Silvagni McGovern and Haynes who can play taller as can Kemp if needed
Not to mention Lemmey who has played KPD...
So what you’re saying is there are some kids that haven’t played yet but there are some that have, yet we shouldn’t play kids because they need grounding yet some don’t and then we shouldn’t pick kids because we are on win mode even if they are good enough yet people are wanting some kids to...
100%. Some kids need time and some are just ready
Never pigeon hole anyone because of age. It’s naive. Did Sam Walsh need time?
Watch how many first year kids debut in the first couple of rounds this year amongst all AFL clubs.
Names like Lord Smith Ollie Wilson O’Keefe Moir are ready to go...
I hope we go with three. Last year showed we need as many fit bodies as possible. I see it as between
1 of Durdin or Phillips
Maybe 1 of McMahon or DGB
1 or 2 of Carroll Evans and/or White
Weitering Boyd Cowan Saad McGovern are all good users. Ollies ball use has improved a lot and Wilson is also a smart ball user as well and Haynes is no slouch.
IMO we need more run from defence
I’d prefer him across HB but he’s a star whenever he plays. He’s a bit of point of difference in midfield but with Elijah Lord & Smith coming on he may be able to go back
May rest on how Ollie Wilson Boyd Saad L.Campo Cincotta step up as defenders?
I reckon Cincotta would be a great Newman...
Docherty is flying. Hasn’t missed a beat.
I think people forget how good he really is. He is a genuine star and will add so much to our side
Been training with mids and wing so will be interesting to see if that changes
When Voss turned up he needed to fix defence and discipline/professional standards. I believe he has done a great job in these areas
Key now if to find that balance between attack and defence. I also believe he needs to trust a few more players on different roles
The move of Ollie to defence...
Newman is a loss but I don’t buy the experience angle.
When a defence has Weitering McGovern Saad Haynes Silvagni Docherty as options then experience is not a concern for me
The positive is Newman injury has happened before SSPs need to be named.
It creates opportunity for Wilson Cowan Silvagni maybe L.Campo they may not have had. I’m also one for Docherty in defence
Major issue last year was running out of options and depth and no chance to replace them. When...
If we can’t make a good defence with Weitering McGovern Haynes Silvagni Docherty Cowan Boyd Saad Ollie Young L.Campo Wilson Cincotta and possibly Durdin Phillips and/or Carroll as options we have bigger problems than I thought
And that’s without moving Williams Lemmey Monahan Kemp or even...
