Preseason should be starting soon. As a rebuilding team it's interesting to think about where the improvement will come from and hopefully this thread will give us a better indication of where we're at and what we're capable of. I thought this would be a fun thread to look back on during the season to assess whether our team is improving. In 2021 I felt we learnt a lot about our players and I felt I could narrow down flaws to one or two specific areas. So with that what area do you want to see each player improve in over the preseason?
Sturt - getting on the park
Logue - reading the play
Serong - scoreboard impact
Darcy - beating the top rucks (Gawn/NN)
Fyfe - shoulder rehab, goal kicking
Brayshaw - scoreboard impact
Acres - decision making
Walters - cutting out the staging from his game
Aish - scoreboard impact/getting more of the pill
Crowden - forward pressure
Ryan - leading the backline
Wilson - speed of decision making
Hughes - eliminating Cat 10s
Mundy - maintaining performances with age
Tucker - spatial awareness
Blakely - kicking
Taberner - getting through a full season, want to see a 6+ goal haul
Hamling - getting on the park
Meek - contested marking
Henry - forward pressure
Pearce - leading the backline, managing body
Young - risk assessment with kicking
Chapman - Making best 22
Shultz - speed
Valente - existing
O'Driscoll - decision making / earning debut
Walker - production
Colyer - goal kicking / forward pressure
Treacy - kicking bags
Cox - second efforts
Lobb - goal kicking, ruck work, freeing the arms in contests
Switta - managing body
Banfield - getting separation, positioning, production
Frederick - goal kicking
Whole team - goal kicking, forward pressure, contested game
JLO - Game day tactics if a team is getting a run on, opening quarters, synergy between forwards and midfielders.
I want to add these are critiques only and really want to encourage posters to NOT bag players. As a supporter there is a joy in watching a player grow and get better and I definitely want that to be theme of the thread.
