You know that there are other ways to get clangers besides turnovers right?
There were plenty worse than Adams on the QB game too though. He cops heat because of his foot skills, but honestly he's trying to do what other more skilled players should be doing because we have poor structures and lazy players who don't work hard on the outside. End result is he picks up the slack because he's one of the few we have who is actually willing to put in the work and run hard all day.
Quality response. Would read again.
If its that systemic, then thats another appalling failure from Nathan Buckley.
Absolutely. There no doubt he needs to go now. He has a good football brain, but in his desperation to create a winning game style I think he's neglecting the basics. If the club has any initiative they should be finalizing a shortlist of candidates already.
It probably wouldn't hurt. Honestly we should be putting the cue in the rack now. Get Treloar off to have surgery because his groin is clearly knackered, keep JDG in the middle for the rest of the year as our main clearance mid, and don't even think about playing guys like Blair again regardless of form. Experience for our younger players is more important now.
Thumbs up to both statements.
I 100% agree with that analogy, our list management is lopsided with too many mid's, im just of the mindset we shop Jeff Teague before we shop Westbrook or Curry. I think Sidebottom is the one who needs to be moved on. A young core of Adams, Treloar and De Goey is lethal and other clubs would kill for that, Sidey is getting on and should be shipped while he still has value.
Hahah i agree.
Problem is we trade adams he gets coached well and stops taking the risks and learns hes a precentage ball kind of guy and he becomes a star. There are average kicks in the afl that are absolute stars. They just make good decisions.
Scharenburg should be playing. Those players you have highlighted are looking to fill two positions in the bench. They are capable without being outstanding. I think Aish can still grow into a serviceable player and it's still early for Phillips. My point is actually that we have a lack of outside players that can continue to run on top of the ground late in games and break it open with quick ball movement to our forwards.
If they want a trade, the club gets the trade picks or players back in return. "contract means nothing" is bullshit driven by fans who think that everything should revolve around their own club. The clubs sign the contract, it's their fault if they decide the player needs to go and they refuse. The players sign the contract, it's their fault if the club doesnt want to trade them.
I would put a young KPD as number 3, McClarty and Schade may work out but it would be wise to take another or take two forwards and then turn one into a defender
Between Reid, Goldsack, Dunn and McLarty I reckon we're ok if we don't immediately get another KPD. It's certainly a need that needs to be addressed by the end of next year at the latest though.
1. Reid
