when it comes to players i rate them on strengths weakness and overall performance.not my fault that 99% of the time my assesment of our players is correct. i rarely call for young players heads and as a rule of thumb only talk about strengths and weakness in their first 4 yrs.
when it comes to the club im an angel compared to most on this site,
about the only areas i criticise are recruiting over 8 yrs jackson, and list managment over 6 yrs cameron. i strenuously defend hardwick and the improvments that have occured
simple fact is 95% of my posts are related to list management and recruiting and they always relate to what i think should be done.
if analising what they have done well and what they have done poorly and looked at their overall performance is bagging them then i bag em. perhaps more should do the same without the black and yellow blinkers on.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you want Vickery dropped at start of year cause his shown nothing?
yep i wanted him dropped. why did i want him dropped. very simple to me a 4th yr player who had proven little whos preseason was terrible and the early games he had played worse.
wanting a badly out of form player sent back to the twos to find some form is not bagging imo. reckon i was shown to be right on that one.
if any of our players played like vickery did i would want them sent back to coburg.
there were times when riewoldt should have been dropped as well. that doesnt mean i think we should delist either, its just recognition that they werent going too well at the time and have areas they need to work on.
i remain highly critical of parts of jacks game needless to say that goes for vickery as well. they are criticisms not bagging and demanding we cut em loose.
