Merrett hands on hips: Zach openly asserting his authority, genuine in his belief of something.
Scott shoulders open and gesturing to explain something. Again genuine in his belief.
Parish: arms folded. Staunch but defensive. Maybe listening to truths but certainly listening to convictions.

Maybe trying to convince him to stay?

 

[ghostdog]

Looks like they're annoyed at the Heppell resigning.

...which is clearly also Parish's fault.

 

[ghostdog]

I originally thought trading Parish was a good idea, because our midfield was too samey. But bringing in Setterfield, and having Stringer run through the middle (when he's fit) showed we can have a good mix in there if we have a couple of bigger bodies. Now I want him to stay, because what he does well is very good, and when he's on song he's great to watch.

But how much would you pay him? Because I think that's the question, not that he's not worth keeping, but is he worth paying huge money to keep him on the list?

Stringer in the middle is not sustainable. We still need another big body. Setterfield's role is shallow for support.

Setterfield - merrett - parish is still our best starting middle
Good balance too

Then having the rotations of caldwell, hobbs, tsatas and perkins as well.
If anything, we need setterfield backup because his absence disrupted us.
Its where James Jordan makes sense as he can play off HB, but also go in as a decent sized mid.

No to Perkins in the midfield and a bigger no to Jordon.

Think I’d have Hobbs in there with Setterfield and Merrett over Parish next year.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

His value outside us is what someone is willing to pay but he is definitely a rung down from Bont, butters etc.

Just a guess but he has probably dropped 50-70k on the back of his second half of the year.

Clubs would know market value so I would offer him just under that. If another club makes an offer, we can always match it anyway if it is not overs.

The club should hold the aces.

I can’t possibly see other clubs offering more than what we have put on the table. He has too many flaws to be a big target for other clubs.

Call his bluff and he’ll eventually sign, he’s got nowhere to go…

I thought perkins was ok this year
Certainly not first choice and i think we need depth in event Will is out .

Zac Williams...?

DM me your TFN

 

[brutus76]

Darcy if you were an ELITE kick youd be worth 900

But your footskills are tripe so 5 x 750 is about right

i agree.

i think people have been far too critical over someone transitioning from the forward line (last year) to being basically a 3/4 of the game midfielder to cover injury gaps.

has he been the best? not really, but he's done what's expected in a season that's had lots of lows. just needs a good off season to really highlight his abilities

im also not that enamoured with him as a HF.

id agree but i think he’s got some forward craft, they just need to figure out what area works best for him & the team

Oh boy can't wait to use the money saved on not signing parish to pay out weid next offseason.

All good Dodoro has a proven track record of killing it with first ten draft picks.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Amazing move to cut off Tippa in the last only to spill it. Hopefully his last act in Red and Black.

Has had a poor month but so have most of our list.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Another gutless bruise free performance from DP3…

Thanks for everything Darcy. I will send you a Panettone come Christmas time.
