I hear you but playing any substandard AFL footballers is not going to win us games. Of the three mentioned, George undoubtedly has the more talent but as you say his fall off seems to be a mental thing but he is not alone in that. It seems that others in the team are lacking confidence for whatever reason. Whilst we had Emma Murray on the books she would weave her magic on the guys minds and the players responded.
Agree posh. He can play anywhere around the ground. I'm sure he has improved his skills since the Aints coz I don't think we'd take him if still useless. Have a look at his non-stop game in the VFL yesterday. Not in our best 22, but in situations like now with injuries, we should've played him especially at the Dump where he's played well.
No leadership...where was captain Grimes to organise that set up? What about Vlastuin?...no leadership attributes. I've seen Tarrant telling guys where to stand but he probably had his hands full minding his man.
Yep, I send my apologies to Robbie Tarrant.
Dusty is one of the greats.
Been doing one every year for ages ( covid excepted of course ). They do a fund raiser ( end of season trip )?? n tickets for fans to meet n greet in an informal setting.
Yeh, our midfield has always produced in finals when needed. But we need everyone fit. I agree, if we make the finals and we have everyone available we will be a difficult proposition. But the chances of that diminish with every week.
Our defence leaks like a sieve. And our midfield is iffy at best.
These would be the same people who have continued to pick Jake Aarts. Parker’s like Aarts in the respect that he’s a good vfl player, but can’t take the step to produce at a higher level. His disposal is substandard as is his decision making.
Thought we might have had that many in 72gf. But no. Found one round 8 that year 11.25 v Hawks at Waverley . A win by 7 points. NB didn't check any other season.
