Not sure of your 12, but Shuey is shot and we have a few other older slowing players. Of the others they are fringe players at best. We clearly miss leadership and organisation in Defence form Hurn - Gov and Barrass dont fill the gap.
I'm struggling to defend symmo anymore.
I said long before but shuey should have stepped down long ago. There was outrage at that suggestion. How do you think morale is when your captain barely plays. It's a disgrace.
Oh, they were there last night, it’s just that they were squirrelled away on the half forward line watching the senior guys get their pants pulled down in the middle of the park.
Adding Sheed, Yeo, OA, Ryan, Rioli and NN makes us a lot better.
Yeah that’s fair and I mentioned that there are definitely things that are his fault. But playing Clark and West on ball isn’t going to be changing the results, we’re getting hammered on the turnover, it doesn’t matter who’s starting centre square. It’s infuriating for sure but it’s not really a sackable offence. He’ll get the year because of covid and injuries, probably going to delay the rebuild process quite a lot unfortunately if he continues with the stubbornness. But I don’t think it’s fair to sack him based on this year’s circumstances.
Who you talkin' bout Willis?
Clark, West, SPS
Lol. They're filler.
Surely norf could get done 207 - 60.
Lol. What we’re running with is genuine puss.
We have a good starting point imo. Can’t really say with any certainty that of these are going to lead us out of the wilderness and they are relatively unknown at this stage but Culley, pick 1 or 2 and Chesser is at least something to look forward to and build on. Nothing is ever guaranteed, we don’t even know if Chesser can play mid yet, but I feel like that’s at least a good start.
From reports he was reluctant to keep the captaincy but the club persuaded him, like how they persuaded kennedy and hurn to continue.
Sure, but you're talking as if these guys need to be developed because they're our future. They're not our future. They're just filler until the cavalry arrives (draft picks).
Quite possibly you are correct, but shouldnt they at least be given prolonged runs in their preferred position?
The reality as I see it is that:
We’re not putting 18 year old bodies in the middle all year to get wrecked. Like it or not guys like West and Clark will be our future for a while. And at the moment they’re better than what we have in there right now.
I half disagree. While I would like them to spend longer stints in the middle, I think they will always be filler. A fit Yeo, Kelly, and Sheed will be our main mids for a few years yet. Maybe Clarke can fill the Redden role? West is crabby. Can get the ball but he's a WAFL player.
But they still make a us a lot better side than what runs out there now.
