i did an excercise in the Recap thread today on who didn’t play for us today;
Players who didn’t play today;
Freeman - unlikely unfortunately
Hunter Clark - you’d think he’ll be good
Armitage - hope I’m wrong but think game gone past him. Games to fast?
Billy Longer - Below average ruckman with poor around the ground work. Doesn’t read the play. Poor mark.
Hugh Goddard - probably gets a game if Carlisle or Brown gets injured but the fact he hasn’t been able to dislodge Brown concerns me for his future. Injury prone.
Logan Austin - didn’t mind him at port but he’s certainly nothing more than a back up plan
Koby Stevens - he’s a decent ordinary player. Can seem to have very big games when we are winning but is similar to a lot of players we have.
Josh Battle - looks a good kid. Still might be a while off but from what I’ve seen he could make it.
Josh Bruce - Think he was dropped this week if not for injury. How disappointing has he been since he kicked over 50 I his first year here. Not sure if it’s a confidence thing but he’s lost his marking ability and for mine has been getting worse each year. Ideally he wouldn’t be in our best 22 imo.
Jimmy Webster - one of our more important players imo. can create with his kicking and takes risks.
Ed Phillips - Pick 56 last year. Hard to know really but at 56 it’s prob unlikely.
Daniel McKenzie - What a disappointment. Pick 22 in the 2014 draft and I remember how excited we all were. Has only managed 22 games and has not been good in many.
Bailey Rice - no good. struggles in vfl tbh
Nathan Wright - for the love of me I can’t work out this bloke is still on our list let a line getting the odd game. Drafted in the early 20s in 2012 and played 30 games.
Oscar Clavino - haven’t seen him play but everyone tells me he is a good kick so we can only hope.
Darren Minchington - he’s OK. Prefer him to Lonie for sure. Struggles to play 2 good AFL games in a row.
Man Weller - had that one ok season but has completely fallen off a cliff.
Ben Patton - another defender kind of baffles me.
Of course i forgot Membery who is our best forward
Fk me the cupboard is looking bare :/
That was not a fun experience
I feel like this is a massive ****ing issue for us. We’ve been really quite lucky with injuries over the past few years but if it got bad, god - we don’t exactly have an embarrassment of riches to chose from.
