Why do you think Cheney was "shafted" ? Can you support this ?

Or am I talking to a brick wall !

I believe it was Kyle that asked to be traded due to lack of opportunaties (playing most of the year at Casey).

James has been signed for another 2 years so I guess we will know one way or another after that. Looked at the start of the season he was given the role as designated kicker from behinds, but didn't really look confident in that role.

Cheney wasn't shafted. He was unlucky to not get games, but that isn't being shafted. We had too many defenders playing decent footy. No-one really deserved to be dropped for Cheney to come in. He got a couple of games after consistent solid performances at Casey. I for one thought he should have been in the senior side at times during the year based on his consistent Casey performances. But I guess in hindsight we're trying to build a solid and set defensive line. He wasn't in the best 6 defenders at the club. We did him a favour trading him when we could have tried to hold on to him as insurance. Win - win.

James looked a bit like a rabbit caught in headlights in his couple of senior games. I can excuse him that, but he certainly needs to have more strings to his bow than elite kicking skills .......... and not having seen him at Casey, I'm not sure what they are.

I just want everyone to acknowledge that I'm on record as saying that I don't think tomorrow will be friday. But I hope it is.

You know, so when I'm right everyone can shower me with adulation.

That's all.

If you think being right is what football discussion is about then your in the wrong league. It's about the fun of opinions and learning something new.

Straussie is a great kick as we all know, but I do remember how well he moved in a practice game against North last year. He really took my eye, then he was selected for round one. The club obviously sees something. I trust it is just confidence of doing it with the big boys and it should come with time.

Clearly you didn't read the preceding post that I was mocking...
