Re: 20. Henry Slattery

there's a difference between dumb and selfish. selfish players can be spoken to. dumb footballers stay that way

Re: 20. Henry Slattery

What's dumber? A less skilled guy having a crack, or some of the other supposedly "better" (& definitely higher rated on here) half-backs not sticking to their man & not even trying to create space from half back
I think it's sad that we need Slatts. But we do. We lack cahunas and have done for many many years. IMHO he will get a game until all of Reimers, Hislop & Hocking at least are established

What's dumb is drafting a bloke who can't play.

Re: 20. Henry Slattery

why did we re-sign this dud in April???

why not wait until the end of the season. i can't imagine there would be too much demand for this joke of a footballer

Due to the complete lack of small defenders atthe club...

Re: 20. Henry Slattery

than trade or draft for them. don't re-sign a dud footballer well before the season ends. no premiership team of the future should have henry slattery in it

Re: 20. Henry Slattery

I think the game against Richmond was his worst AFL game in his career. I don't think he is currently up to a small defenders role. He isn't hungry enough there, or plays closely enought. He plays better as a tagger in the midfield. Give him some more time.

Re: 20. Henry Slattery

Ran off Cyril pretty well last night, important step to getting some confidence back

Re: 20. Henry Slattery

So many people are harsh on slats, his not a bad tagger.

Re: 20. Henry Slattery

but he's a bad footballer

 

[Rack Watts]

Re: 20. Henry Slattery

Don't call him "Slatts" its an insult to Michael Slater.

 

[Bombers42]

Re: 20. Henry Slattery

Where did this hate come from?

 

[hulld]

Re: 20. Henry Slattery

since he continually stuffs up

i appreciate the fact that he is one of our few defensively minded players, but he just gives me the shits. hopefully he can turn into a solid defender, but at the moment he is struggling

Ps - I think he was being sarcastic

Re: 20. Henry Slattery

On a serious note, been pretty good & consistent the last few weeks
Like a few others, he floundered at the start of the year (hardly unexpected with a change in coaches) but is starting to come good

Re: 20. Henry Slattery

I think he deserves some credit, he has been in pretty good form lately and he showed enormous courage by getting in the way of a collingwood player's lead (may have been Cloke), a similar instance that got him knocked out against Carlton.
