Preliminary and Granny. Job done. No more, no less.
Hooker has been a great club player and deserves full respect but heās too slow and offers no defensive pressure.
I hope Cale makes the right choice himself and isnāt pushed.
I hope he stays on at the club in some coaching capacity.
Very misleading headline. As you said, its just Watsonās opinion, and commenting on the fact he got dropped.
And not a flash mob to be seen
Yeah Iād say thatās a definite possibility
it would be a mistake to offer him another year
I like the fact that Stewart has spent a good time in defence to bring up his defensive game, and with the availability of Francis back, it was a bit of giving Hooker a rest and seeing how Stewart may have benefited from playing back most of the year and going forward. Allows a rest for Cale, plus it is a rebuilding year.
Across various threads Iāve read that Hooker, Gleeson, Clarke, Ambrose, Johnson, Cutler and Zaharakis should be retained for 2022.
Looks like no-one will be delisted!!!
Was he dropped or has he recovered from the knee to the hip he got before quarter time? Omitted from a AFL team is a pretty broad term.
Named in VFL team so itās not injury related
Trucks selection video indicated not been doing what needed past few weeks (not kicking the goals we need of him most likely IMO) so been dropped
The slower pace of the VFL game should suit Cale.
Dropped?
Oh that term is too harsh for a couple of the snowflakes in here. How would Cale feel?
Canāt we just say that he wasnāt selected?
I think it is about team development, Francis back and a formidable backline freeās up Stewart to go forward, Stewart is younger and needs to be tested back forward, or Francis goes forward, just need to play the youth in positions going forward.
There is no guarantee Stewart will be the one to go forward.
Donāt worry champ, we know
Ridley ? didnāt see Hurley named
Francis. He played forward in the VFL last week.
Or neither of them and we go smaller
Correct. It would be like Zaharakis this year which is completely pointless.
thereās ways to āback players inā without lying.
but each to their own i guess.
see iād be concerned that if they are willing to lie to your face about something as obvious as this, something we can actually see with own eyes as false , imagine what they are and could be lying about or hiding, in general.
Please tell me what you imagine they could be lieing about that is so awful.
