Time to go unleash the shackles from sonsie and take him out of the forward line with more midfield minutes at afl

 

[Boston tiger]

Still can't believe he was dropped and JGTI with KMAC are still waddling along with almost two seasons of constant substandard performances. I am puzzled how our MC haven't worked out where the game has gone in terms of speed and transition linking over the last couple of years and we are still fielding teams with guys as defensive runners, who can't actually perform their duties bc they're too slow. At this stage with the age of our list and certain players retiring we need to be investing games into players like Sonsie, KMAC2 and others

KMac equal 9th in the Jack Dyer last year. Which I reckon is about as good as it gets for a defensive wingman. Carry on.

The devil is in the detail… he played 22 games last year and finished on 30 votes. Missing only 1 game almost guarantees you a top-10 B&F finish with our voting rules. If Broad, Nank, Cotch, Graham, Hopper, Young played 22 games Macca finishes 15th.

Balta: 43 (23)
Prestia: 42 (20)
MACCA: 30 (22)
Broad: 30 (19 games)
Nank: 27 (15)
Cotch: 26(19)
Graham: 26: (20)
Grimes: 25 (22)
Hopper : 25 (16)
Young : 25 (19)
JRoo: 22 (21)
Pickett: 21 (21)
Mansell: 19 (17)

Seems to be putting his hand up every week in the VFL to get a call up for our midfield

With all the injuries, and he still not getting a go, its baffling to say the least

he is obviously isnt doing what the coaches are asking of him.
It may be attitude, performance, conditioning or all of the above.

 

[TigerImposter]

More incompetence not recognising his potential bc the coaches are still trying to play an overly defensive game style.
Probably bc of our lack of KPF , but it’s still the wrong option bc we need to win the midfield battles and not just around stoppages. We need extra run around the ground and not tractors plodding around trying to hold play up. Get the ball first more often as possible to give whatever forwards we have more opportunities. ATM our kicks in FL are bombed bc of our slow ball movement into it. Need more Ferrari’s driving around and Sonsie should be one of them.

Sounds exactly like the type of player we need in the middle

 

[tunksy]

Agree but we havent used him this way at all have we?

I’ve been thinking about this and reckon it’s because we do it with dusty and Bolton.

If dusty retires that might allow us to push him forward and change our midfield dynamic.

 

[rubbers0ul]

Any danger of giving this kid a go in the guts? Clearly can do it at VFL level but then stuck inside the f50 at afl…

Yer it's like there's no difference between VFL and AFL. Who would have thought. Our coaches clearly have nfi.

No need to be a dick about it.

Sonsie hasn't even had a chance to prove himself in the middle so far this year.

You're 100% right. It's been a prevalent topic of discussion over the past month here.
Fingers crossed it happens this Sunday and based on the changes it might but I'm not gonna jinx it lol

 

[Barnzy]

Looking forward to see how he goes in the forward pocket

Looking forward to see how he goes in the forward pocket

After he gets subbed in late in the 4th quarter

This is it, totally agree. speed is our friend and the only way we can be at all competitive.

Add Lynch also.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Not yet...no need to rush the kid...needs a little play time on the half back flank for starters!

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Hope he nails it tomorrow.
Hope he doesn’t sit in a forward pocket, he’s a midfielder.
Hope he gets the same opportunities as Dow has had in the midfield this year
