Is anyone actually surprised by what they’ve dished up so far? The carry-on about their off-season imports was ■■■■■■■ ridiculous. TDK is talented, but has delivered very little in almost a decade of being on an AFL list, Silvagni is bog average, Flanders is ok and Liam Ryan is old and inconsistent.
They’ve got some genuinely good players they’ve drafted and developed themselves (NWM, Wilkie, Sinclair), but it’s like they’ve tried to buy relevancy. It hasn’t worked so far, and I doubt it will as the season progresses. I doubt they make finals, if they go 0-3 they definitely won’t.
19 disposals, two goals and two tackles across two games. Not exactly setting the world on fire. He did look good in the pre-season game against us though.
Would’ve taken him over Tsatas on every day that ends with a ‘y’, but still, if that figure is correct he’s getting paid double what he should be right now.
Yeah insane. I’ve seen moments and even a few games where you can certainly see ‘it’ but his career has really stalled through repeat injury. And then you start to have doubts on ability. They’d be getting pretty jittery. Needs to establish himself properly this year.
The “Tom Boyd Effect”; Being grossly overpaid can cause massive resentment in the locker room and in some notable cases it can lead to mental problems of the million dollar player.
