If they’re that entitled or insecure then they’re piss poor leaders
Generally the money is already agreed upon earlier in the season. If a player doesn't play to their optimal level it makes it less costly at the trade table for the deal to go through for the acquiring club. Charlie Cameron is a prime example. It's more likely the acquiring club than the manager that would advise players to keep their pick value down on further reflection. All clubs do it, the smart ones at least.
Brown and Crouch being dropped shows we're not locked into this philosophy.A few games at a suburban ground might perk up the old attitude. But we and the6 know our coaches won't do that.

But part of me agrees.
Brown was most likely the one that said he shouldn't be playing injured. I suspect Nick's would have kept playing him.Brown wasn't dropped. When we do drop them, it's very belated and then we use the first available excuse to get them back in. Crouch is an example of this and Brown got injured, so jury out there.

The heading needs to be changed..
It needs to read
“It’s time to talk about Doedee and Smith AND BEN KEAYS”..
Seriously havent seen a worse footballer get such an easy ride all because he puts in a shitload of effort.

I think the crux of the problem is that we didn't fix our list management and recruiting when Pyke and Burton were given the flick. If we had we probably would have attracted a better coach as they would had some assurity that the club was on the same page instead of independent groups looking after their own interest. The club has no plan or vision. It's all ad-hoc and reactive. A decent club would taken a look at our list and said how did we get here? Then they would terminated those involved. The club has two choices from here. Make things better or make things worse.And this is why I don't think we've been going that bad or that Nix is that bad a coach. He's just not a coach that's capable of developing a rebuilding side into a contender, so he's certain to fail. The list of senior players being carried by junior players is all of them less Tex and Laird. And yet he's petrified of swapping out a poorly performing 50 games played to give a kid a crack. He's absolutely wedded to Roo's brain fart that when you lose a senior player you first look at the number of games played when selecting a replacement. So the end result is that he'll carry these players in their primo spots until they retire, as Pyke did, despite this being a rebuild.
Yeah and id add, he is playing outside his limitations. Holding onto the ball longer than he needs to, taking on the risky kick, trying to do too much. Unfortunately i don't think he is ever going to be Scott Pendelbury. Just take the first option Doedee.Doedee has had a bad year. But so have half the team. I still see him as a future captain and would be hanging on to him. Not denying he needs to have a huge pre season though. Seems to have a lost a bit of urgency in his game

Missing out on Balmey really hurt us - no-ones fault given he seemingly had one foot in the door with us before his health concerns. But contrast what he would bring, compared to Kelly - massive difference.I'm cautiously optimistic that Nix is Roo's last crack and hopefully a few of the other long term board members too. And that we'll be able to gut the spuds like Kelly at the same time. We need people who have been heavily involved in footy ops in a successful club, not just a club that made a couple of prelims like Noble, but genuinely successful. Once we've torn down our existing culture we can afford the average, steady as she goes types, but we need someone to pull it apart first.
I am actually interested to see what impact our senior players have next year. Most have looked unfit the last couple of years and 12 months of Burgess will start this pre-season.Doedee has had a bad year. But so have half the team.

Hi Brodie's mum.3 pages and no points of interest.
Would love to hear the how and why of Smith's demise.
Seems like a bit of a scapegoat.
Smith, Doedee, Milera, let's be absolutely honest here and not add a little Crows coloured glasses gloss.
Would those guys be getting games in the top sides based on what they've produced this year?
Hi Brodie's mum.
Smith and Dawson had near identical stats Today. Same kicks, same handballs. Only real difference was a goal to Dawson.
Smith doing much of his good work playing through the tag that Dawson couldn't cope with and that required a reshuffle.
Yeah and id add, he is playing outside his limitations. Holding onto the ball longer than he needs to, taking on the risky kick, trying to do too much. Unfortunately i don't think he is ever going to be Scott Pendelbury. Just take the first option Doedee.
