every one tells me hes a great kick i think not.
okay attitude aside to date hes made too many.
1/ skill errors.shocking by foot at times. dont think its a serious flaw but it happens too often. needs to learn to kick within his limitations and stop trying the fancy poo.
2/ poor decisions, hes been as dumb as they come on the footy field. yet hes a smart player knows where to go knows how to find it. this can be fixed again with him playing within his limitations and maybe taking safer options
3/ hes as slow as they come. this cant be fixed but can be compensated for with footy smarts.
4/ he has no motor. this too can be fixed but its been the same for 6 yrs.
5/ the lack of a defensive bone in his body. again if he wants a regular game he had better fix it and work both ways.
most of these things can be worked on and improved in some cases a lot. but for 6 yrs these things have stagnated.
this stagnation for 6yrs combined with his attitude has had me write him off i dont think after 6 yrs things will change too much. but there is some hope.
its funny and a contradiction but a strength can be his kicking at times. a strength can be his smarts and his ability to get to good spots just needs to stop making poor decisions.
i suppose its this that has seen people back him in. for me hes had long enough.
is there a player you think is ok??
theres plenty. but okay footballers have weaknesses too. i dont put em up on pedestals like most.
batchelor, conca, cotchin, dea, deledio, ellis, foley, grigg, grimes, maric, martin, moore, morris, newman, rance, riewoldt, tuck, are all okay players but all have weaknesses some more than others.4 or 5 arnt even proven players.
dunno why your angry surely after 6 yrs with connors im entitled to say enough is enough. 6yrs just 27 games and a regular stream of mediocrity and poor attitude. he should have been cut 2 or 3 yrs ago.
what annoys me more than the player himself is the club and the way we continue to give ordinary players 6 or 9 yr careers. we dont turn em over quickly enough. the club it seems reflects the supporters just cant give up on duds.
theres about 10 players still, who we just keep on resigning for gods know what reason. they have been around 5 or 6 yrs plus. then you have others who have had 3 or 4 yrs and you can see we should have made the call, they too will end up 7+ yr players.
heres a list of mediocrity for ya.
connors 6yrs
derickx a 25 yr old who cant get a kick at coburg.
edwards 6yrs.
graham 6 yrs.
jackson 9 yrs lol we have persevered with this hack for 9 yrs.
king 6 yrs.
mcguane 8 yrs.
miller 11 yrs.
white 7 yrs.
throw in 24 yr old webberley or 25 yr old nahas what you see at this stage is what you get and its never going to get better. we love glass half fulls and we hang onto em for dear life.
