Ashcroft was clear that they are fine for outside mids and only chasing inside mids
Ffs this year needs as much as possible to be about developing lycett dugg, sheed, redden yeo, lamb and any other prospect we can. We arent going to win a flag so put priddis on a hff. Get the young guys in the guts and let them fk up - let them learn THEIR POSITION - over and over.
Its not like priddis is going to get any slower - he then should be fit to go in 2018 or hes been overtaken.
Come back in 2018 with nn and give it a red hot go.

What's everyone's opinion on Priddis?

Coming from a anti-Priddite I'd rather have 10 Priddis' in the team than bring in Ballantyne and Petrie this off-season

Dogs didn't think they were going to win one this year either.
We just need redden Jetta Nelson and Duggan to become established players. Will make a big difference. We aren't 10 players away.

People were saying the same thing about Sinclair last year. Like I said slim chance, but still a chance.

What do you think gets McCarthy?

Yeh so a few players need to stand up and we r right in it. All these players we have drafted and keeping, must b a reason.
Perfect storm or not, bottom line is u keep building and u never know.

I would have given him a game after he'd had 4 pretty good games and kicked 5 in one game ,i would have swapped him with hill who was struggling at the time

I dont like the little S--- but you just never know he might just bounce back
Into form ,he's pretty energetic and he wasn't happy at freo with rosco riding him i reckon that would have effected his game

If we get him we'll have to hope like hell for a resurgence. I just don't see it though, I think he's done.

I may be in the minority on this one but I hope Lamb stays and signs on for another two years.
He may have underwhelmed this season but he does show things at times that are special.
I also don't think he has been that well coached at East Perth.
It appears to me that Lamb has some concentration issues and needs to get some greater continuity of being involved in the game into his match day behaviour.
A ploy that I often used when I was coaching to help young players concentrate more and be more accountable for the entire game was to play them of the half back flank . Their first goal was to beat their opponents and win the one on ones and then allow them the freedom to back their judgement and be creative and follow their natural instincts to run off their man when they deemed it appropriate. Once the creative run is completed then back to covering their man again. This forces them to be more accountable for longer.
Some time I think our Club is way to conservative and lacks imagination in where and how we play our kids.
Kudos to Sydney for their match committee to help Callum Mills transition to AFL in season one by playing him of the HBF this year , we all know that eventually he will become a top quality midfielder.
Thats the sort of coaching creativity that we have traditionally been devoid of as a Club.

Youd think if hes chasing a 3 yr contract
(Not that wed give him a 3 yr contract )
He'd be confident that he would perform
I assume when players get to this age they would be in performance based contracts

I honestly think he just doesn't want to leave the state because of what he's got setup over here and just wants to eke out another few hundred K at the end of his career.

One thing going for Ballantyne is at least he will be able to play with an actual forward line. The pressure wont be on him to do it all.
That Jake Waterman article certainly does muddy the waters on Alex's situation.
I agree, we've kept blokes on the Rookie List doing f*** all for two, sometimes three years, and yet a lad with clear talent who is struggling with an illness that he could well fully recover from is given the arse??
Smells like more to it than the club or the Waterman's were letting on. Perhaps club didn't feel Alex was as committed to his recovery as he should've been?
Can you elaborate on why Chris was not happy Marlin01 ?
