Answerth has massive limitations IMO. There was a clear example of him on the wing, kicking to HF and turning the ball over with his man next to him. Only for the very next kick to go back over his head and the man that was marking him be out the back. He seems to be a bit of a leak in our defensive structure at times.
He's really improved and his kicking is much much better than it was. But he's still the weak link in the defensive line and he's not really showing enough to be an AFL wing or any other position. Others are better kicks and I dont think we have many guys in the backline who dont bust their arses to defend.
Hes definitely improved and there is no doubting his commitment to the cause. Puts his body on the line regularly.
That's a big reason I've liked Ah Chee and Lohman forward (and I didnt hate Dev there). At least those guys put in the defensive hard work. Shame not everyone is held to that standard
What is with zorko on the bench all of a sudden? I may have missed the game due to a wedding, but he has been one of our best performers in the last month. The only thing I saw him do that was literally Jack Ginnivan raising his shoulder was that free kick
He's still worth his spot . It's only his second year and he's progressing fine except of recent times he's probably not getting the extent of onfield mentorship and support he needs due to the effort of those around him dropping off at times.
Zorko's been right up there as one of our best this year and he tries his hardest.
Tbh he's not getting used properly. There was a great example of him getting a cheeky over the top handball to Dunkley and then bursting through the congestion to open space inside 50.
We really don't have the cattle to bring in that would make any difference given how we're going but I think as supporters we're entitled to throw the toys out of the cot if there isn't a selection statement made on a couple.
Seems like what always happens that things line up with a bye, so it gets used as an excuse as a one off and we get mulligans.
We've run out of mulligans this year.
I re-listened to Fagan’s PC and what struck me was optimism or what I would refer as delusion that if everything’s ok and again citing Carlton and GWS last year as what we’ll likely do in the second half of the season and make this magic run to storm into the finals. I mean on what basis does he even hold that view as to what we’ve dished up this year? Coupled with our tough draw, I just cannot fathom how he believes that unless he’s just trying to convince himself.
Do you want him to throw up his hands and say we are stuffed and just making up the numbers for the rest of the year? ( even if it may be true) I guess his message is to the players in the hope they may lift, rather than to supporters who are looking for him to self immolate.
What’s wrong with criticising the team for starters or saying the coaches got it wrong. Hell the Manchester City manager that lost the FA Cup the other night said he took full responsibility for the loss and sighted why. Imagine that….
Basically that they are as meaningful as a politician’s policy statement.
