This is spot on
This is dead set awful and should see him in the vfl I donāt care what size contract your on with efforts like that go back and play vfl and learn how to defend or go back to Adelaide.

Guarding grass is the gameplan though?
Not the player he was last year. Remember when were worried he would be going to Adelaide? Turns out they knew better.
I think we have coached the mongrel out of him
Yes he was always a little risk of stepping over the line (kick a bloke on the ground for example)
But there is no longer any hint of it left in him and it has ruined him imo
Actually, I think itās a player that doesnāt want to play by team rules and has cracked the sads.

Iām sick of hearing itās coaches fault etc. Redman is a leader and isnāt young. Itās on him. Itās his commitment, focus and his attitude. My only hope is that at a point in time the coaches hold thesectype of players accountable. That to me is an important step in rebuilding culture and defining acceptable standards.

Marriage might have mellowed him
Donāt underestimate how much the game plan sucks !
Both Rudman and Martin as supposed to be attacking defenders, but if you stand 10 metres off your opponent then it makes it more difficult to defend and attack the ball.
Unlike our midfield, our opponents actually deliver the ball to their forwards and just do not lob it in for easier defence.
Looks lost since martin came to the backline, probably sulking as he thought he was the attacking HB with good foot skills and they bypassed him.

If the coach took 3 weeks to make Perkins accountable when it was obvious 6 weeks ago that he needed to be dropped then I donāt hold out much hope ā¦
Just like our stale unattractive game plan the team section continues to mirror it
We jump off quick on a player becuase heās having a poor year blitz needs to calmdown
Itās more about setting standards you canāt have guys put in efforts like that and reward them with games

Not sure if this is a response to my post or not but if it is, I wasnt blaming the coaches exactly
I think it was valid that we needed to have him tone down some of the aggressive stuff but to me he looks like heās taken it to the point where he has lost his combative competitive streak
Alternatively he just doesnt care anymore
