Pieces to take us forward

[burem dees]

Need another key defender for CHB, get Frawley to BP or HBF and develop another kid for full back, Blease permanent back, his speed breaks lines, defend first and then take your chances. Perhaps Howes best spot could be CHB.

Like Gawn in ruck.

Firstly, Mitch has played what, 15 games in two years?

He's played nine out of 33

9?

He's played 16 (taken out of 3 or 4).

My apologies Capt Jack and SSF. 11 in 2012 and 4 this year. http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/players/M/Mitch_Clark.html#20120
97 games in 7.5 seasons.
Great player, but he has to be on the field to have an influence.

I think Melbourne need a good coach to take them forward.
Melbourne are setting their sights high in the search for a new coach. There is a strong puch to ensure only a premiership-winning coach is appointed.

I only have 12 players that I'm confident in taking the club forward.

NJones, Dawes, Viney, Frawley, Trengove, Clark, Garland, Grimes, Gawn, Howe, MJones, Terlich.

Toumpas, Kent
Like em but haven't seen enough to be totally confident to call them.

Watts, Blease,
plenty to work with but plenty of deficiencies. Persist

TomMac, Evans
Not sure but there's enough to persist with.

Barry No opinion yet. Hogan not on list yet.

I have 18 I know won't take us anywhere.
Byrnes, Dunn, Rodan, Strauss, Pedersen, Nicholson, Gillies, MAcDonald, Sellar, Davey, Jetta, Davis, Spencer, Bail, Fitzpatrick, Mckenzie, Jamar, Sylvia.

Tapscott, Tynan, Taggert.
Not sure where they are.

We have no A-grade level players ie. top 20 in the competition. We only have a couple that are capable of being so IMO.
Clark (if he ever gets fit)
Viney (if we dont completely wreck his development like the others)

Howe could be anything but without support his talent is unfulfilled and wasted.


Frawley's important we all know that. Garland is a solid defender, Terlich and Matt Jones are something to work with.

Trengove wont ever be an star midfielder, but serviceable. Likewise Grimes (if he too ever stays fit) could be good but isnt going to be a matchwinner.

I love Nate Jones' heart but lets face it I doubt he'd make it into any top 8 midfield.

Mind hasnt changed on Dawes, we need him because we're so bad but otherwise wouldnt get a look in at decent clubs.

We've ruined Watts. I still think he can be a good players but not for us.

Sylvia will walk at season's end. And has always been a wasted talent - but for decent club who knows?

that is just plain untrue. He gets tagged every week nowdays and carries our entire midfield some weeks, If he had support he would be a great. Plenty of supporters of top 8 clubs have acknowledged he would make their starting midfield after watching him play (see hawthorn last week).

Better get him ripe for our clash with North then!

That'll be an interesting game. After quarter time they'll go to pieces and we won't show up.
