Disagree all you want bedford You are nuts if you think Chad is playing well

Disagree all you want bedford You are nuts if you think Chad is playing well

Never said he was , at least he's trying , no wonder you have so many

 

[kelpie_X]

Here's what Kinnear said about Chad's contract on Gettable:

"But what I'm led to believe is the conversations are ongoing. It's been parked at the moment for this year. We'll get through this year and then we'll continue the conversations with Chad and his manager, Luke Morabito, and go from there.

"But what we have found from this year, being able to re-sign Logan, Rowbottom, Errol et cetera, is that they're a very tight group. They're prepared to leave a little bit on the table to keep that group together to try to enjoy some success together."

Everyone but Chad?

 

[The King!]

He's trying?

Doesn't look like he gives a ****

I don't know why you think going on about post counts matters, I mean you have 30k
whinging about the rest of us

 

[Adnico26Parker]

Everyone but Chad?

Presumably Chad would also leave some on the table as well if he wants to stay? That I don't know

you should support St Kilda then you can just fan boy a few players there instead

Warner was shithouse I don't care how many "tackles " he laid

I've waited till the next day so i could try and work out what's going wrong .
I don't need to go on every medium with childish thoughts
I blew up and deleted last night

I think Chad has become scared of getting pinned HTB under the new interpretation. He's become hesitant, looking to get rid of the ball so it's not him getting tackled. But then in the process, he gets done HTB in the softest possible ways. Someone needs to get in his ear and say "Hey mate, just take the game on again, full bore. You get done HTB no dramas. Just have a crack".

He's also handballing more as he's had no room , can't be blaming him for everything , as the coaches are the ones that set up the middle and to sub Parker is just so dumb .

 

[Stencorp69]

I'm thinking he should have got the contract signed earlier in the year as his value is probably halved

No room for any of the mids at the moment but they way he gets done HTB is so limp. His opponent literally just hugs him gently while he puts out an uncertain fend. I'd prefer him getting done HTB while he is trying to explode out of a tackle and his opponent has to actually put their body on the line to stop him.

Yes

No.

I read on BigFooty that players should always wait and would be silly to sign because you get more money that way, and that is the point of playing football.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Warner hasn't been great in the last few weeks, but he was definitely trying yesterday.

It was a pretty dirty night for him, just one of those games where nothing goes right for you. But he kept trying and at least put in effort.

He didn't have much of an impact but gets a pass for effort imo.

You simply cannot have a player like this in your midfield and then be surprised when the midfield struggles.

Play him off a wing or a flank FFS.

I wouldnt break the bank for this bloke. Net the picks if he chasing that much money.

He is a great player. He's just a very, very average midfielder.

We talk about our clearances, contested ball etc. and how it's a constant issue, and one of our three main mids is basically guaranteed to offer next to nothing in that regard.

Tall poppy syndrome in here

Only 5 clearances n the 4th last night

People don't get it he does things others can't

You can't just be a handball happy plodder with "vision" anymore

 

[Dan87]

His coach, his team want him to be aggressive and roll the dice

Deal with it and enjoy you have a player capable of that
