Haha I'm not gonna argue with someone who's got know idea. You were probably one of those that were calling for Milera to be dropped a couple of weeks ago

Yeah, its reality that's wrong.

The Ratpack!
I don't have any confidence in our ability to develop midfielders (or to draft them for that matter).

Doubt it. I don’t think any one player will play sub 5 weeks in a row. Hopefully the boys on the edge in the team play well and push him out altogether

Assuming Zork sent them a D pic to illustrate the damage

We’ll see how the development of some of our current guys go
The level that Soligo and Rachele reach will be a good indicator. Also think Nank could become one, in time
A blatant Crow hater.

Can’t wait till the umpires are wired up to a polygraph live and we can see their true feelings.
Fair enough too as it’s a very dangerous act. I was at Metricon Stadium when Powell had his leg broken when McHenry came in like a kamikaze when the bloke was in the act of kicking. Shocking sound and massive injury. The kicker is totally vulnerable and duty of care needs to be shown.

Yeah, he is the worst umpire imo.
He seems to be doing more Friday night games now, which is OK with me as we are not playing.
Too true , I remember Luke Beveridge mentioning in their premiership year they actively recruited midfielders as half back flankers

I can't wait until they're wired up to a 240v generator and every time they make a wrong call someone presses a button and they get fried!

This is a pretty naive comment from you. Just watching Peds during a game and he is gassed early on. Played a good last quarter in the showdown but his second halves for the 3-4 weeks prior indicated he is pretty well out on his feet
Regardless of stats though, Burgess would be watching his load management so we get him through the full year
Keays just keeps running like a sheep dog. That can’t be denied - regardless of kicking ability!

What's naive about it?
All of Keays hyped gut running produces performance equivalent to a young player who requires managing.
Why then such faith?
If they won't bring Cook back into the 22, I'd like to see him Sub a few times. Preference is for him to be in the starting 22, but if not I think he could do well as sub.

So last 5 weeks second halves disposals
Keays 11. Pedlar 4
Keays 15. Pedlar 3
Keays 5 Pedlar 5
Keays 12 Pedlar 3
Keays 7 Pedlar 8
So 50 disposals for Keays against 23 for Pedlar
Keays hardly missed a game since he has been at the club, Pedlar first year stringing games together after years of injury
I think Pedlar will become our best CBA midfielder over the next two years but it is blindingly obvious why they would rest him - and not Keays from an injury prevention viewpoint

Sloane has averaged 20 touches a game on reduced game time this year (around 65% on average). If he were playing typical midfield minutes aka Laird/Dawson then unquestionably he would be up around 24-25 touches a game
While I agree he has dropped away since the bye - his year has been nowhere near as bad as some on here paint it to be
Top 5 for disposals for the year(including average disposals) (top 3 for tackles) in a season where his game time has been managed in almost every game - which the club has indicated a number of times.
Let’s not just use hyperbole to describe players on here all the time

Important to have Keays-type senior role players who have the capacity to hit the contest hard, run both ways, provide avenues to goal etc. Can’t have too many of them in the one side, though (assuming one or two glaring weaknesses per player), which has been a problem for us in recent times
Pedlar obviously has the higher ceiling and is a more potent player, but it’s about finding the right mix and balance
I try to not take too much notice, thanks for noticing
