Yep.
There are reasons and excuses.
We love to live in th the later at Excusendon.
The burn out from the saga thats a reason.
Poor form due to a suspension is an excuse.
An AFL listed players form should not fluctuate around that. Their abilty to get up should come from hard work, resilience and ability to follow their processes.
Being dropped at this point of your career is not a good sign. Take kahunas to come back improved, we are gonna find out if Petes got em.
Its always just around the corner at this club.
Wait till Reids not injured, we just need a defender to take on the gorrillas, we need to get Sheil out of the centre, we need to get Sheil back in the centre, ADJ, No I mean Jayden, No I mean Kako will solve our small forward woes.
Im not knockin Wright so much as its nearly every player on our list that cant sit in the high level of their potential for long.
Players that celebrate a seasons of form instead of careers, hey even good quaters rather than games.
We did well against Brisbane in the last quater in another ā ā ā ā year. FFS.
Who at this club is consistanly at an even low bar of a 7/10 every year?
I hope he could return to that form but he just was bang average this year
You canāt have someone you are directing so much footy through be so incapable of taking a mark, he gets hands to so many but the technique to grab the ball isnāt even there.
Flat hands, eyes shut. Itās so incredibly frustrating the ball just trampolining off his hands. Thatās on him to fix his technique
You can, with a crapload of tough hard work building resilience and work rate. Wrestling works a treat for this. Never makes them a natural but their standards improve to something thatās more than acceptable.
Iād suggest keeping him as our third ruck as well as forward option / insurance. Heās a decent ruckman and great key forward cover. Iād trade if we got a decent offer but donāt think that will be forthcoming.
I donāt see why another club would want him. People seem to think a club would be desperate for a key forward so give him a go. We are desperate for a key forward, weāre playing a kid with less than ten games and moved another forward to the wing to hide him. Weāre more desperate than any other club for a key forward and even we didnāt want to play him.
I know one thing, this group do not like āexpectationā on either themself or them as a group. Every time our supporter base get excited about where we are heading, the players let us down, every single time.
They lack pride & self respect & will not rise to the occassion to get it. Thats why I say its all about the money with these guys
Keep Wright for one more year and if he turns it on consistently in the VFL then bring him into the AFL. Hobbs on the other hand, as good as he is, is obsolete to our midfield needs and we should trade him to enable us to get the key forward or key back that we desperately need.
Nah, get a player ā¦. lots want out of there, McRae is a megalomaniac whose ego is out of control, wonāt let players play footy, everything is setup for his pets, burns all the others which costs them $$ / career. Would be at least 1/2 dozen youngsters want out
