No one took Foleys role.
one of the better mids goes down just one and what happens. we need jacko or houli or nahas to step up and we know it aint going to happen. didnt help with deldio getting totally shut out of the game either.
if anything today reinforces the lack of depth and quality in all positions.
word is foley will miss next week as well cotchin has a fracture jack looked proppy and all of a sudden the cracks appear.
im dirty on them actually because we have failed to address the situation with out of form players continuing to make as few changes as possible for no other reason than the team performed okay. look at vickery today he really does think he doesnt have to perform to get a game.
two or three games into derickx could be a godsend now. a couple of games into elton as well would not have hurt.
and imo while not the future graham could have a few senior games under his belt for no other reason than hes earnt it.
arnot is an inside mid and played some decent footy at coburg earlier in the yr. a couple of games into a genuine inside player dropping poorly performed players and theres been plenty every week leaves us in a better place than maybe throwing him in the deepend with a lot of the better players missing.
we were not in a position to stop playing kids and we did just that. the depth will only improve when kids get experience and can take a step up or two.
today has been coming for weeks and if the injuries come there will be plenty more like today.
who takes foleys place. for me id give arnot a game. id also be looking at connors in the forward line . derickx regardless of form for vickery. and and one of post or elton to play as a permanent kpf.
