#BringEllisYolmanHomeFinally a Darling thread!
Just stole what was going to be my next post.#BringEllisYolmanHome
Simmo
Yes the midfield had their pants pulled down today.... but apparently its ok for JK and JD and Lecca to shank 70% of their set shots... and then somehow it's the midfield that is responsible for 8 goals 16?This is so obvious - we have to rebuild the midfield. Simmo knows this but he sits behind years of woodhouse recruiting
When did Simmo become coach? Maybe Simmo's style of coaching is not getting through to Jack?Was a better player in 2012.
I think he has plenty of friends as half of our team seem to be lacking in work rate - lazy as!!Pressure used to come naturally to him. I didn't see the game today but that has dropped right out of his game. That's just work rate and effort, nothing about skill.
Agree - cannot believe how ineffectual Hurn has become more often than not - he is a shadow of his former self when comparing him to a few years ago. Mind boggling!!Not relevant but Hurn is worse. Undroppable even though he is completely ineffectual
Im not sure that Simmo has the ability to get the best out of the players. He may have the best of intentions, but not convinced he's getting through to the boys?Remember how well he played in early career finals and big games?
I now expect very little of him. Played okay today but finished like a headless chook. Yet another player regressing.
I actually wouldn't mind trading darling if he cannot deliver. At the right team, jack will be a star. Suns and even gws he will thrive.
45-50 goal third tall types are hard to come by and he could net us late first or late second rounder.Harsh truth though, is he even worth that much? What would he command and, if that price is a draft pick, what would that get us?
McInnes and Vardy are both ruck/forwards or we've got Petrie this season. That's not a hell of a lot of internal depth
Opposition teams play two players on Kennedy FFS, (and he still kicked 4) it pisses me off that Darling can't use that to his advantage at all
I'm not calling to trade him based off that but my call is if he cannot recapture his best form.There's a time for Darling questions but I don't understand how there can be calls to trade him after that game?
Sure he had a bad kicking day but he worked hard enough to have 7 shots on goal in a smashing.
Darling was the least of our worries that game.
