It’s ok, they’ve got Impey now. I still don’t understand why they gave up ad much as they did for him. Admittedly, I haven’t seen much of Impey, but apart from the odd highlight he seems to do very little.
The desperately need Rioli to play a lot to help their speed…but has he even started training yet? Hasn’t he been at home for most of the pre-season for some reason? Family reasons?
They’ve got a handful of 2-4 year players who showed glimpses as well eg Burton (the obvious one), Hardwick but yeah, they would all need to come on quickly and they can’t afford for Roughy, Rioli etc to miss big stretches
Clarko pumping up Sicilys tyres. “Sicily is a very special player,” Clarkson told AFL.com.au. “His ability to read the ball off the boot in play either as a forward or back is as good as some of the best players I have seen in terms of aerial ability in the last 10 to 15 years.”
I suspect this expectation is not going to help Sicily control his errant behaviours on field. Overinflated tyres have a tendency to blow up.
Don’t see the hype about them. They have missed the finals and been absent from the draft for 2 years. You need to get young talent into the door, and I think they are still, if not close to, the oldest list in the AFL. Demographics say they’ll be around the middle part of the ladder. The reason why so many have refused to completely write them off is Clarkson. 12th.
I reckon it was in doubt for a brief period late 2009 early 2010 after they missed finals then started badly the next season. But from about 6 rounds into that season there has been no doubt
