The fact he’s Vice Captain material speaks volumes about where the club is at imo. Leadership starts on the field first
Having a vice captain who can't make a smart decision with football in hand is reflective of where this club is at.
redman was shocking on friday, he was as poor with his handballs as Mckay, pretty sure he gave a direct goal to crows with a weak handball to Kelly. Andy had an off night but overall has a had a solid season, redman on the other hand looks like he is carrying a niggle, has been hot and cold all year.My boy struggling alittle but he will turn it around.
Seems like he has been given more kicking responsibility which always leads to his **** ups.
Just let him lock down and supply by hand to the kickers in Redman and Risley

I also have a slightly hot take with rids too, He needs to take control of the backline like a Tom Stewart. He always takes the least risky kick when kicking out of D50 but sometimes that means he is giving off a short pass to one of our myriad of bad decision makers in the backline. I sometimes wish he would take the risky long kick like redman/martin do and set up the play, he has the best kick of the lot of them but doesnt really use it as a weapon. Just wish there was a bit of a middle ground between his safeplay and martins roll the dice kicks.
Thankfully the club kept Dodoro around for the one thing he's good at.Can't believe we signed him to a 6 year contract...................
CareerContract season and yes he is better than Taranto and McCluggage now…
You find them at 40 and they end off the list a couple years laterHe's the type of HB you could find with pick 40 in the draft.
Dodo specials haunting us from beyond the grave.
no that's the problem, we needed mid and got back pocketThe absolute definition of mid.
