I'm not saying that mongrel and work ethic isn't important but we always do this. We focus on guys with mongrel who can make tackles and apply pressure, and never focus on guys that can take marks and slot goals. Its why guys like Scully get de-listed while forwards like S Gray and McEntee end up 100 gamers for us. We never look at the whole package - its also a reason why so few talls develop for us.Scully was told he just doesn't have that competitive mongrel and work ethic they want. They tried to get it out of him, but he didn't exhibit it and they don't believe he will make it based on that. To be honest, looks like he'll just be the next Redden, Mitch Harvey type, that will probably go onto have a good SANFL career but just might not have been up to AFL.
"You don't defend, you don't play" was the third thing Hinkley said after "I'm the right man standing" and "You get what you deserve". Such an oracle.I'm not saying that mongrel and work ethic isn't important but we always do this.

How much mongrel did Luke Breust have? Very little but he's a 3x premiership player and 2x AA. He hurt teams by scoreboard pressure.
Yep and to be clear Im not saying there is no truth to this."You don't defend, you don't play" was the third thing Hinkley said after "I'm the right man standing" and "You get what you deserve". Such an oracle.
Absolutely. Scully is/was an exciting prospect. Can kick and mark. Rucking improved markedly this year. Watching him from the start to the almost dejected, lacking in confidence player v Centrals at Elizabeth last round is all on Hinkley and our "elite football program".Yep and to be clear Im not saying there is no truth to this.
Im just saying if you're a forward you need goal sense and either crumbing or marking presence. Being good defensively shouldnt give you a pass for lacking in these areas.
I know Atkins has been added to our list but I wouldn’t call him a recruit.I mean acting like this was a choice between Boak and Scully when we literally recruited Rory Atkins is pretty ridiculous.
Kicking goals are overrated at Alberton.I'm not saying that mongrel and work ethic isn't important but we always do this.
