Clear troll or have minimal idea about footy imho.Cheers.
I agree 100%. But that sort of got lost, with other posters focusing on one player out of ten I mentioned, and them not answering the op’s question, and despite me saying I recognise they are playing different roles.
Let’s wind it back a sec.
The op asked to name 8 players from Ginbey’s draft that had performed better than him.
This was in response to the Ginbey pile on in the match day thread, that then started to spill on here.
Nothing to do with anything I had said, because I hadn’t said anything to that point, it was all WC fans here piling on Ginbey.
I quoted the OP and said there were 10 players I believed who had performed better.
For some reason, everyone focused on Oliver Hollands. Ok, I have no problem if people disagree with a subjective opinion.
I tried multiple times to point out that many of these players play different roles, and to focus on the OP’s parameter of “performance”.
Yes it’s easier to play almost any other position on the field than the one Ginbey is playing. That wasn’t qualified by the OP.
Nor have I said Hollands is a better player, despite other posters trying to make that the discussion.
Now my opinion on Ginbey is the same as quite a few other WC posters here, including one poster who was employed in a talent identification role by AFL clubs. Yet posters here, such as Elite Pete and Obeanie1 reckon I’m trolling, without engaging the WC posters saying pretty much the same as me.
Now back to answer your question. Hollands would struggle as well. We’re seeing that even Reid struggles at times. That’s a function of where WC are at the moment, and little to do with the players themselves.
Do I believe Hollands, or any other of 10 players I specified are better players than Ginbey? Yes. Could all those players play in the same position as Ginbey? No, because some are key forwards or key defenders or wingers, etc.
That doesn’t automatically imply that inside mids, regardless of ability are better than players in other positions.
It’s an opinion. Happy for other posters to disagree with me. We probably won’t know for another 3 to 5 years.
Bazzo absolutely can come in as the 3rd tall for Rotham, and Baker can definitely do Witherdens role as a half back.
Why?
He hasnt played that role in many many years. Seems silly to bring a guy in to completely change his position
Yeah im with you.
Oh ok, sorry….. I’ll do it straight away.
I’ve been in these threads since the end of 2021, beginning of 2022. Part of discussions longer than you’ve been active in these threads for the last 6 months.
Cool, don’t need a back and forth clogging up this board even more.
Bazzo and Hewitt (Long almost forgotten) coming back is a small but positive light at the end of the tunnel. I hope a few (A. Read and the other Williams for example) including these can develop into real players.
Sheldrick I hope, hope he is part of plan A.
Very weary that Sydney won’t trade Sheldrick til 2025 given he is contracted. Infact I wouldn’t even try til 2025 really, would be wasting our time
He’s a test in the injury report this week. See how he finishes out the year.
Don’t mind this outside the box thinking
Culture issues won’t be fixed by a Mitch Duncan or a Luke Parker. Everyone knows where the issues exist a
Why does there need to be a plan B? We can only get players that want to come, there was hardly a queue of guys lining up to come to the club at the end of last year.
Because you end up giving Luke Edwards one more year which wastes everyone’s time. If we offered Alex Davies 4 year 2 mill deal he would probably join and be in our best 22 week in week out as opposed to Edwards who is just on the delist pile once again
If nobody better than Luke Edwards wanted to come idk what you want the club to do.
Have a plan B?
If this player doesnt exist, what exactly do you want the club to do?
Make the player exist?
