I already told you why he's in the 2's. I'm not the only one who thinks that. He will not be going anywhere & you'll find that out in time so you're wasting your time if you think otherwise.
I hope you are right there.
People tend to forget that not all players have all the attributes of an elite player. If they did then we would all have bona fide champions like Hird and Voss running around in the AFL.
Some lack pace, some lack poise, some lack height, some can't tackle and some just aint tough but it doesn't mean they can't play footy and influence games.
Houla is all skill and class. I don't expect him to be tough.
Campo has gotten away with being a softy for 10 years and it's only been while we have been shit that people have been bagging him.
The true deficiency in our team is talent. Players like Carrazzo, McCrath, French, Livo, Pretendergast, Bannister, Johnson, Morell, Teague, Chambers, De Luca, Wiggins etc may try their hearts out and at times put their bodies on the line but they would not get a regular game in a final 8 team. That is why we are bottom. Talent.
Speaking of talent it pisses me off that Norman and Davies don't get a run. Norman may not be setting the world on fire in the VFL but at least he has talent and it should be nurtured in the AFL. I know the guy has issues but I hope we keep him. As for Davies, when has Pagan given this kid a real go. He is always in the best players in VFL because he is played in his best position - on the ball.
With the VFL finals on this weekend I doubt that Davies will get a game. They'd want him for the Bullants, and that is the dilemma for this weekend, do we play a kid in the seniors for the experience or does the kid play in the VFL finals?
I'd also hate to see some of the posters here have their wish and see players like Houla and Lance traded.
Whiitnal and Houlihan remind me of an animal whose name lends itself to being blamed...
