It makes you wonder how we won 3 premierships in the last 5 years with so many poor players.
I do agree our small forward plan fell over in recent years as they seemed to lose desire/ confidence particularly with the chase and tackle. I think our coaches need to refine that plan.
I like Dan in the backline and hope they stick with it as it will help in his development, might go ok on the wing in the future imho
Oh i see the plan is to blame for such lousy form it has nothing to do with the players themselves.
Well Aarts has not played in a premiership and the other two You could say they are favorite sons and protected despits so many horrible performances. In fact Aarts is probably unlucky not to have been gifted a flag but the favorite son Rioli got the gig instead.
Rioli and development you talk as though he is still a kid, mate he has over 100 games and will be 25 in april.
He performed reasonably well for 5 games across h/b but the way people talk about those 5 games you would think he was a superstar.
I keep saying it H/B is reserved for kids a lot of the time why is that i wonder.
The way i look at it if we play him across h/b he is denying the likes of Brown, Banks, Stack, Mansell have i missed anyone an opportunity to play to THEIR STRENGTHS and games.
