DERO is this a bit or are you privy to some rumours

Would you stay if Jye Menzie was getting a game over you?

 

[joey_jo_jo]

Would you stay if Jye Menzie was getting a game over you?

I meant the comment across multiple player threads not Nick specifically. I think I was overthinking it and that you had some inside info re rumours of a group of players not being happy with getting a bake from Scott.

 

[Nifft]

Would you stay if Jye Menzie was getting a game over you?

Or Kelly? How the hell is Kelly still even in the team? For god's sake drop him already!

That depends on if I had an offer somewhere else . Which he may well have.

 

[DERO]

Of course he does.

 

[DERO]

Or Kelly? How the hell is Kelly still even in the team? For god's sake drop him already!

Kelly can actually lock down.

 

[Nifft]

Kelly can actually lock down.

Just joking around because some people always want Kelly dropped. Thought maybe the would've given that away...

I have wanted Hind dropped at times and Kelly dropped but they have played plenty of good games and regulalry justify their spot in the team. I can't think of any time I have actually thought this about Menzie.

Yeah sorry, was just making a joke about kelly. Not really directed at you.

I actually think Kelly is ok, I don't mind him in the team. Hind is hot and cold. Menzie is young and I like his endeavour at times, but he's fringe at the moment and should be in and out depending on form and selection pressure.

 

[Rick Ross]

Going.

… to get a well deserved new contract?

It's all good. We are allowed to disagree and I didn't think you were directing anything at me. Lol.

Whilst I thought it was harsh Hind was sub then dropped after a really strong run of performances, happy if he’s reserve level IF we’re playing a few youngsters like this week.

Deserves a contract for 2025 as he meets a lot of criteria - not best 22, but as a super reliable reserve player:

• Adaptable - Can play back or forward (plus coach thinks the wing )
• Rarely injuried - critical characteristic
• Sub - can bring pace and chaos when he comes on

He'll leave. Be mad to stay.

It’s crazy Davey gets a game ahead of Hind, just crazy.

If you like a bloke who plays in the back half but plays on no one then berates his team mates for not picking his man up then Hind is your guy .

hes also a guy who calls for the ball in bad spots and then when it doesn't work out yells and screams after a nominal turnover results in opposition score.

 

[DERO]

He is also 10 times better than Jye Menzie.

 

[ant555]

He is also 10 times better than Jye Menzie.

Yet he had just as many **** ups in the VFL today.

 

[DERO]

Yeah. I missed it. He is not perfect and a slightly different player but offers a lot more than Menzie (in my opinion).

Not going to argue against . Not sure it really changes a lot as far as the big picture goes.

I’m well aware of his flaws but I’d play him in the forward half ahead of Davey, at least he has a crack. What Davey serves up is embarrassing and genuinely results in a net loss for the team.
