Devils advocate - so Young and Miller (72 games between them) too inexperienced but Dow and Ryan (57 games between them) experienced enough/had enough chances?Young and Miller have been too good as inexperienced KPDs in a shit team to be whipping boys.
Short should turn it around if he moves into his B&F position at half back.
It would be hard for Hopper to be the whipping boy because I doubt he plays a whole season. If he does, he probably plays well enough to not be our whipping boy.
For me the below 4 players are our whipping boys until they prove us wrong.
1. Ryan has no excuses now; old enough and experienced enough to have a genuine impact.
2. Kozi has been a genuine under achiever. He’s shown signs but that’s it. Has experience and maturity so no excuses for kicking ~ a goal a game and barely touching the ball.
3. Dow has had his chance to prove his midfield worth and he didn’t. If he could improve a bit he might be decent but his brother didn’t. This handball happy light weight is going to have the whips on him as hard as anyone.
4. Sonsie the soft. For a player rated top 5 in U16s he’s nothing more than an outside pretend elite user. I hope they play him inside mid and force him to harden up, or it’s career over.
