Lmao drop Ross yeah righteo.....
Believe i named him on an interchange bench of 8. Not sure that amounts to dropping him. Also said that it would be harsh to drop him, he had a good game probably one of his best but i prefer we play others on the wings.
He had a good game because he actually won his share of contested ball laid more tackles actually won some clearances and got back behind the ball and provided some rebound. These are all things he has mostly been poo at.They are more inside jobs than outside.
One of those others i prefer on a wing was Pickett and play both Banks and Brown in running roles.
I have for a few weeks now thought it might be a good idea to play Broad on a wing to allow Brown a spot at hb.
It has nothing to with right now its all about long term. We will struggle to make the 8 and wont be winning anything even if we do.
100% still think while playing some decent footy of late he does not have the pace dash and hurt factor with ball in hand for an outside role. Not a long term solution in that role for me thanks. But a keeper. So hang me up and shoot me.
I certainly prefer Pickett on a wing and think we need to run him back into some form. Without doubt that is Picketts best role where he has played his best footy. He is the one copping it in the neck to allow Ross a wing.
Remain adamant we need to get games into Banks, Brown and as many of the 22 and unders as possible which Ross is one of.
That should be a non negotiable for the club.
The team i named has 8 or 9 players aged 19 - 24 only Ross has a decent amount of games behind him.
The only way that can happen is if some regulars are dropped and others play different roles to allow kids to play to their strengths.
That to me is just a bit of old fashioned common sense given the season and where we are at list wise.
We had our moment in the sun we need to wake up and start tending to the long term.
