Voss is an ok footballer who could have become something, 3rd tall of which we have more than we need
If you arent gonna do the right things when trying to earn your place you never will
Stringer is absolutely elite when going at more than 70% fitness so yeah those guys get more chances
Just like every workplace in the world gives more leniency to the people who are top 10% in their field vs someone who is decent and might be good one day
This.
Thereâs been a bit of say one thing and do the other with Scott so far, Iâd say. ItâsâŚworrying.
I find this delisting to be very strange, and not because I thought Voss was going to turn out to be some kind of superstar. Heâs got some attributes that weâre in dire need of. And for all the talk about his rumoured lifestyle, heâs a kid who won the VFL b&f playing forward in a crap team. Honestly, his lifestyle couldnât have been that bad to have achieved that.
Stringer is only elite when he is 100% fully fitâŚwhich he very rarely is
Who are our 3rd talls that the club rate over him?
Weed- awful player, who shouldnât even be on the list
Jones- constantly injured, last time he showed good form was in 2021
Langford- one of the best 3rd forwards in the game
Stringer- constantly injured,unfit,fat,lazy
Kepler Bradley won the vfl BnF too
Just for some perspective
Neither of has EVER seen Jake Stringer 100% fully fit, 75-90% at times sub 70% regularly
Was he on the main or rookie list?
he also played over 100 games
How many good ones?
more than Voss!
Should have played seniors early this year. Also donât think it was likely he made it at AFL level based on his marking issues and lack of height for a KPF. In isolation, this call doesnât bother me.
One of them is really good at footy and the other isnât.
dont think height was an issue. 194cm
We should have paid Wimpman out and kept Voss. Wimp has all the presence of a shadow, and none of the substance. Voss is largely unknown, but one thing we do know is he will always contest, something that Wimpy is pretty much allergic to.
Itâs not huge these days for a guy lacking in other areas though, is it? If he was a great kick and mark, you could probably look past it.
yeah agree. I dont think hes the modern forward and maybe lacked a few tricks. I love his aggression but is that enough to keep him on the list probably not.
Brad Scotts lost the plot
Not too hung up about this tbh. Was he worth another year? Maybe, but the coach clearly doesnât rate him.
Should have been given a game earlier on in the year when form necessitated, but it didnât happen, so the writing was on the wall.
We move on.
I think the fact his hands were made out of bricks probably put him behind the 8 ball a bit.
Disgraceful decision by the club and list managers from a supporters perspective. You canât delist a young aggressive key position player without trying him in a senior game, especially after winning the reserves B&F. They can argue about cultural fit and footy IQ, but how about development of those deficiencies rather than see them as a problem? Just dumb.
Voss was a Giants academy player, they choose not to pick him in his draft year.
He then made it through the National Draft where no one picked him.
We picked him as a rookie then didnât offer him a contract through trade period this year.
No other club came calling for him.
He is now delisted, we will see if another club will come for him.
But that indicates to me that teams donât see him making it at AFL level.
