Baker still a big concern size a real issue many times last night.
Caddy lol continues to be gifted games. Rioli ah to have a famous name only reason he continues to get games imo.
Lastly if we dont have a better option for the wing than fumbles McIntosh then we are in strife.
Changes well depends on injury and suspensions.
Someone is coming out for cotchin for sure, for me that would be Rioli. The other thing id like to see is maybe RC-D finally be given a game in place of Caddy and somewhere along the line sooner than later we get some games into a tall or two.
What to make of this post. Baker is part of the best back 6 in the comp. He doesn't need to be taller (although he constantly puts his body on the line in the hole) as he mops up and delivers amazing offence.
Caddy is solid and you must not really watch games closely enough to see what Rioli delivers during games. Regards to fumbles, his ability to runs the arcs makes him very valuable to how we play.
My tip would be to start looking at all the positives as there are many
My tip would be to start looking at everything which includes the bad and not focusing on what you think they do well
This is literally the complete opposite to the ethos of the club now which the players and coaches have preached non stop to have been the driving force in leading us to 3 flags.
I 100% disagree. This from another poster, juss on the Daniel Rioli thread on big footy, best sums up what i want to say.
It went like this.
I am always surprised people think that every player doesn't have significant development areas that they are being asked to work on with the coaches.
This is professional sports every player would have focus areas, From Dusty down to the rookie picks.
I'm very sure Rioli's would be more than to just run around and pressure act. end quote
How can anyone disagree with something that is so logical and clearly happens.
You think players haven't improved areas of their games and that the club doesn't ask for it. Unbelievable.
Just to finish up here are some of the criticisms i have read on three different tiger sites this week and it seems the majority are saying it.
Poor contested player, soft, Never gets to the right spots, doesnt get to the drop of ball, No intensity, low disposals, second to the ball which pumps up his pressure acts, Limp armed tackles and on it goes.
The main response from his defenders has been oh i trust the match committee they know best. Know one knows what the match committee think but im pretty sure they do have key improvement areas for each player.
I think the match committee is doing what it has always done with Rioli and that is give him heaps of time hoping he can improve in certain areas. For me right atm he is keeping others out of games and does not deserve his spot.
Rioli has been dropped several times before for just these type of things, he has lasted inordinate amounts of time in the team before the selectors bit the bullet. unfortunately Rioli has usually only been dropped for a week before getting his spot back not having shown that hes worked on anything and improved in areas. That continues to show.
My opinion atm is if he was dropped he would not be missed one little bit. That he does have areas he needs to significantly improve in.
