piffle but hey it makes for
great reading to lets all
get on board and bag our player.
not bagging him at all just pointing out what has gone on. even last yr the so called yr that made him a good player he was pulling out of contests. i know a few real good judges of players who have written him off as a ruckman. some of his rucking efforts have been down right disgraceful.
i have three key criticisms of him and they are not just from this yr. just my opinion but 36 goals hid a lot of cracks in his game last yr.
i will continue to criticise him not bag. especially the weak efforts the lack of work rate the lack of contested marks even last yr, the lack of physicality both with ball and without.
this bloke kicks a few goals in a season and everyone proclaims him a top notch afl player. well jack kicks lots of goals every yr and he is poo at times. the bottom line is they both have areas of their games that must be improved upon.
stating what one thinks they are poor at is not bagging but merely being critical of aspects of their games. i dont see any writing him off or demanding he be cut from the list. i dont see anyone saying he has no talent. good on jack for sticking to his guns hes not the only one who has been critical of the soft issues.
if we are to look for blame for the situation vickery is now in surely the club has to take some heat for it. i mean to say vickery wasnt just poor for half of this yr he was bloody awful.
it is a reasonable question to ask why did they persevere with him for so long. why not try someone else other than for those in charge a badly out of form riewoldt an even more out of form vickery and to top it off a very ordinary miller.one or two of us was asking for him to be dropped way back at about rnd 3 for a youinger guy or a change to the structure. to me its been an opportunity lost to get games into a player or find out a bit more about others.
if calling a player who is clearly soft soft, is bagging him then i put my hand up.
