Lets me get my head around this. Schade just turned 24 years old and ranked number 23 in the entire competition for efficiency for kicks/handballs use. He is 197cm tall and plays as a key defender. He played on Buddy Franklin in Sydney and Buddy did not kick a goal. Yep delist him.
After all...
There is an old saying that springs to mind.
"Would the last man out turn the lights off and shut the door"
Ablett, Matera, McKenzie and Hall are rumoured to be departing.
A club of destination? Not at the moment!
Mark Evans has a substantial amount of work ahead of him if he is to make GCS...
Mark Evans is finally the right bloke to take GCS forward. Former appointments both on and off the field have failed big time and have ruined player's careers similar to the MFC in recent times.
Once again a player's game is based on statistics and SuperCoach points. What an absolute joke. Assuming you watched the game you would have noticed the impact Smith had on the game when compared to Naismith. Smith was very good last night and was a big contributor in their surprise win. Smith...
Anyone who bags Zac Smith after his game against the Swans tonight basically knows nothing about football and is a jaded individual. The guy is not a champion but he gives a 100% and tonight he had a very good night. Well done big fella!
Just a scenario. Tom Lynch with a year left on his contract goes to GCS management and says he wants to be traded to Collingwood for the 2018 season. Management can say no and he is such a jet that they will play him in every match in 2018 and then he will walk as a free agent and all they will...
Lever is a good player but I reckon he is seriously overrated. He is a 3rd tall who is average when he is one on one. He is damaging when he is allowed to play the 3rd man up which is dependent on the quality of the team (and or game being played). Nick Malceski wa a AA with the Swans and could...
If a club approached Tom Lynch with a HUGE long term contract at the moment what would keep him at the GCS. Additionally if he said to the club trade me with a year on my contract left or I walk in 2019 what would they do??
The biggest concern for the GCS is the culture of the club and the ability of the club to retain "wanted' players.
I just had a tough look at the list and I will list the players I would want to keep due to age/experience/talent/contract and those that other clubs would be interested in...
I happened to be at the VFL game today and I must say I was very impressed by Kale Kirby. A natural footballer who has the"X" factor. Hopefully his natural instinct for the game isn't coached out of him.
Just looking at the playing list and it could be a massive clean out and trade period for the club. Where do you start? McKenzie, Matera, Nichols, Shaw, Hallahan, Davis, Lonergan, Currie and Schofield. Massive decisions to be made and on the flip side is who replaces them and is actually going...
I would think if Leslie had a sniff of a another club in 2018 he would be out of the GCS in a flash. He seems on a hiding to nothing in regards to keeping his spot in the seniors.
Follow the GCS and Witts has been a beauty this season. Big Tom Nichols can't get a look in and even with a season to go on his contract will be looking to move for the 2018. Similar to Goldsack and a Preuss at North.
Interested to know in a perfect world which players you would keep on the list next year. Just numbers in versus out will suffice as it takes time to type. Cheers
For what is worth if any AFL supporter thinks high draft picks up will turn around the next season they have absolutely no idea about the modern game. All draftees need time in the system building up their bodies, understanding of the game and senior game experience. Bigger bodies need even...
I think it very likely Ashcroft and Eade will not be At the GCS on 2018. It would seem logical that a few of the assistant coaches will also lose their positions.
Perception is sometimes reality fair or not. It would be be a fair comment to state that GCFC have under performed since entering the competition if they don't make the 2017 finals. So logically it would make sense that there are changes in personnel year end if GCFC don't crack the finals. This...
