I think we will struggle too without Cripps. Huge challenge for the game plan in my opinion. If it can hold up this week (as bad as the dogs have been) and we win I think it will again reinforce to the group they have a Coach and plan that always functions despite missing key players if everyone is on board. Fingers crossed

Really glad to see Byrne back. I think he can be an elite player. Hopefully he won't be too rusty this week. I expect a few errors as he adjusts to the tempo after a year out of senior footy. Kreuzer to dominate.

Why the @#$%&! drop Macreadie?


Totally agree.

Of course, I preface it with the "they're the ones entrusted to make the call" line but FFS, what benefit is there in dropping him?

This is EXACTLY what I keep harping on about...dropping some players and not others. The 'like for like' argument doesn't wash with me as we are supposed to be building a flexible team who could be asked to play in a foreign position etc.

We could easily have kept Macreadie and used Weitering up forward for a while, or even give Macreadie a taste of the forward line or dare I say it, give Jones a short spell up forward
Bolton talks about enduring...well, sometimes you need to also endure in a foreign part of the ground; after all, its all about growth and experience

On another note, bit disappointed that Smedts couldn't make the squad...maybe he has been asked to work on certain areas


Perhaps Macreadie has been asked to do the same thing.

And I hear you assess/have assessed persuasive opinion writing for a living?

Appreciate your distorted, inferential and summative feedback DB

I'll give it the respect it deserved...in fact I've given it more respect than it deserved; a whole 40 ish word response.

Fire away

Perhaps Cazz...or after one game back in the seniors, he could be given the feedback and given another week at senior level to work on that feedback...anyway that's my opinion

Scott Muller got some feedback, can't bowl can't throw.

Hard to come back from there.

It doesn't surprise me as he was running away from physical contact and chasing opponents to make up for his turnovers.

Fixed your post.

:oops:


That's not right Clayman.

Whilst Kerridge does fumble too much, sometimes he gets hold of the fumble and makes good on the opportunity.

But, what I saw from the fence was Kerridge commit to physical clashes against 1 or more opponents and either win or nullify the situation. A smaller body such as Fishers, SPS, LeBois, Sumner etc wouldn't have made a dint such was the fierceness of those contests.

Kerridge is a depth player, and whilst Cripps is out he is essential in the midfield. He actually creates opportunity for the kids.

Kerridge plays an important role for the club with his big body. More so than Palmer Smedts types...thus far.

You have to appreciate the good he does for balance and sanity. :wink:

personally, I hope Dylan gets a run before year's end.
can't wait to see Byrne play in seniors too.
very happy with Kerridge, although I wasn't for some time at last game. a player that makes up triple time for bad errors is alright. he'll be good for now.

Someone changed my quote. I actually wrote "It doesn't surprise me as he was at a lot of contests".

I think he tried his guts out and put his body on the line.

Not sure what you're trying to say...some reference to 'The Office'????

Anyway...I'll stand by my comments. I've never been a fan of promoting a player for a week just to send them back down to the ressies cause they need to work on some areas. last time I checked, you can also work on those areas in the seniors and be given an opportunity for redemption...just ask Thomas, Casboult, Rowe, White, SPS etc.

Lucky for me I was buffered from the ire, the invective and credibility shredding acerbic wit.

Oh well, maybe next time I won't be so lucky
