The bloke can kick straight. It’s an important skill and one we are sorely lacking.

But he’s utterly gutless and without aggression. You can’t teach that out. He might have moments where he patches himself into the game, but then he’ll lapse back into lackadaisical normality and lull out of the game. I want to be proven wrong.

and what's more, he is a coward and unreliable.

Ummm, I think you have your pyramid upside down. The top level, the capstone, is meant to be the stuff that you only want a little of. In contrast, the much larger base area is the stuff you want a lot of.

Bontempelli etc should be in the bottom or base level. We wants lots of Bontempelli, Macrae, Daniel, et al. The unproven, the list cloggers and failed players are the ones you want the least of - the oils and fats that make up the capstone portion.

You only have three levels, the traditional food pyramid has four levels. That being so, here is my take on you idea:

Top (capstone) level: Fats and Oils (consume only as much as is strictly necessary for survival)
Second level: Meats and Dairy (healthy only in small doses)
Third level: Fruit and Veg (have at least one fruit and 3 veg every day)
Base: Complex carbohydrates such as grains and cereals (have lots of this stuff, should be the most highly consumed food group).

Applying this metaphoric logic to our list:

Fats and Oils (use only sparingly and to avoid loose stools): Bruce, Schache, Cavarra, players yet to be selected for a game with the exception of JUH.
Meat and Dairy (ok in small doses only): Butler, Hayes, Roarke, Bailey Dale, Young
Fruit and Veg (regular serves necessary for good health): JUH, West, Weightman, Richards, Hannan, Wood, Lipinski, English, Duryea, Vandermeer, Gardiner, Jong
Grains and Cereals (to make up the bulk of the diet and ensure no ladder constipation): Bontempelli, Macrae, Daniel, Crozier, Keath, Bailey Williams, Hunter, Liberatore, Bailey Smith, Dunkley, Naughton, Treloar, Johannisen, Wallis, Cordy.
What's clear in all of this, is that Yojimbo is no dietitian.
 
Dale? Dale had a period where he tore it apart as a forward. Schache has never shown such a glimpse of capability, and his consistency isn’t more significant either.

Poor comparison.
Bailey Dale - 1.02 goals/game
Josh Schache - 1.21 goals/game

Bailey Dale - goalless in 23 out of 59 games (39% of his games)
Josh Schache - goalles in 15 out of 56 games (27% of his games)

Bailey Dale - multiple goals in 12 out of 59 games (20% of his games)
Josh Schache - multiple goals in 20 out of 56 games (36% of his games)

Outside of an anomaly of 5 games where Dale actually did something, he's basically been a less consistent, worse performing Schache. He's just as soft, and we're really scraping the bottom of the barrel by comparing these two, but Schache is absolutely the more proven performer, as sad as that is

You could literally write this statement about either of Dale or Schache, and no one could pick out which you were talking about

I take that one glimpse of being a competent player over sustained evidence of incompetence by both.

These comparisons also aren’t really reasonable when we haven’t played Dale as a forward for his entire career. A more full bodied comparison will show Dale can get the pill and has had an overall more significant impact.

Agree furiously that this is bottom of the barrel stuff here. Both need to show something or should be gone.
 
To be consistent with the long tradition of expression in the English language can you please start any reiteration of Bailey Dale’s good games with the phrase “Once upon a time “
 
and what's more, he is a coward and unreliable.
This is right on the edge of the line as far as I'm concerned and unfair to the player. You might want to consider deleting the post.
 
What's clear in all of this, is that Yojimbo is no dietitian.
Just a person with an opinion on list management based loosely on pyramids of different levels who must be relentlessly shamed and ridiculed for having said opinion even after making it abundantly clear that it is only my opinion. I can confirm i am not a dietitian.

What a rubbish thing to say. Bloke was concussed on the field in 2019 and tried to stay on the field. Cowards sit behind keyboards mate.
Also dealt with a concussion in the back end of this year in a scratch match, meaning that he couldn't play in further scratch matches and force his way back into the team (many of which people were holding against him not realising that)
