Well we started the season with Lav in the reserves and Reid starting. Unfortunately Reid was gone by half time. Reid and Hayes will be the hope next season. Or if he puts on some weight ..Cox. This season they weren’t readyWhilst this is true, we refuse to address it. It’s been the case for years, and will in all likelihood be the case again next year. We need to actually do something about it

The big guy really is in some form.
Mac Andrew - 4 goals
Jye Amiss - 4 goals
Anthony Caminiti - 3 goals
Take your pick on Thilthorpe, Fogarty or Keays - combined for 11 goals
the gift that keeps on giving. Perhaps its time the review is honest and feedback taken on board that it just isn't working.
Is there an actual prize for reverse Coleman? Let's get him there cos we ain't winning anything else this year.
Pretty sure Walter kicked his 2 on him as wellThe big guy really is in some form.

It's not really his fault the club has failed to draft and develop an actual KPD, he hasn't been a star across his career but he's fronted up and taken on players he's really got no business trying to defend againstEver been a worse footballer to play 100+ games?
Has made a career out of being a 'try-er'. That's the benchmark we have around here, just merely have to give it a go and there you go 100+ games to you.
3cm is the biggest cop outAll those players at least 3cms taller than Laverde. He shouldn’t be playing on them. But we have no one else currently. We need Reid back and club feels Hayes not quite ready.
3cm is the biggest cop out
shhhh . we do not need real facts thanks.I'm pretty sure Cox started on Andrew and got an absolute bath, then Laverde was swapped on to him.
unfortunately Tom Cutler only played 96 games . he was going to be my candidate.Ever been a worse footballer to play 100+ games?

I was going to suggest Mark Baguley but i forgot he was a legit star.unfortunately Tom Cutler only played 96 games . he was going to be my candidate.
You know what’s sad, when we are crying out for players like Angus Monfries, Mark Baguley, Ricky Dyson, Ben Howlett, Leroy Jetta (93 games), Dempsey, Henry ****ing Slattery played 96 AFL games.I was going to suggest Mark Baguley but i forgot he was a legit star.
A poor person's Patrick AmbroseHas lasted as long as he has because he is pretty elite athlete wise, not through elite football talent.

His form appears to largely be due to his physical gifts being diminished and he's getting caught out, he's hopefully carrying something and we haven't just cooked him playing him outsized every week for seasons on end.
It comes back to something I mentioned earlier in the year with Hep and Goldy, and has been mentioned on here by others on Langford.
If guys are carrying things and it's drastically impacting their form (and even if it's not for some) make a change and either give them a rest or book a surgery.
In hep's case he was going along fine, until he wasn't. If you manage him better maybe he doesn't drop off so badly, you had Archie there to play. Do the fans hate on him so much if he's in decent form?
For laverde, what's wrong with playing Hayes for a week or two to give him a freshen up?
If Langford has a hip, book him in for surgery, play stringer deeper and put Perkins in the stringer role.
I don't get the fascination with playing guys until they are cooked and then standing there with a straight face and saying "well it's a long season".
It doesn't have to be, use your list.
Monfries was a legit gun thoughYou know what’s sad, when we are crying out for players like Angus Monfries, Mark Baguley, Ricky Dyson, Ben Howlett, Leroy Jetta (93 games), Dempsey, Henry ****ing Slattery played 96 AFL games.
The issue is how does he go against players he really does have business playing against? Someone like Darcy Fogarty should be his bread and butter. Strong, medium-sized fwd. If he can't defend a player of basically his equivalent size, or players taller than him, or smalls, then essentially he has no match-up that he's suited to.It's not really his fault the club has failed to draft and develop an actual KPD, he hasn't been a star across his career but he's fronted up and taken on players he's really got no business trying to defend against
What about the egg? Did we get that to 100 or did he take it with him?unfortunately Tom Cutler only played 96 games . he was going to be my candidate.

Reid maybe, not Baldwin
