He would be better off holding Gillies hand as he can't play either. Pedersen at least has shown a bit especially at Casey.

Gillies will be gone Redleg he is only on a one year deal.

Pity Byrnes was not on the same.

Amazing we made such an effort to get three players for Casey.

I suppose we are helping our team develop players

Being brutal, I can see Byrnes, Gillies, Jetta, Bail, MacDonald, Davey and possibly Sellar and Strauss leaving/retiring and maybe Jamar being traded. I think Pedersen stays another year as he is contracted for 2 more.

Byrnes I would pay out and offer him a year at Casey playing/coaching.

If we were offered a mid for Tapscott I could see him going.

I think we will make at least 8 changes to the senior list.

This is getting really serious Redleg, I am in total agreement again.

Davey and Macdonald are past it and the rest never where.

 

Yes that is 2 votes bb

I forgot Troy Davis, but I think they will keep him for another year. He is a big strong boy who is hard at it and if he can improve his kicking, is a chance.

After all the agreement of earlier today Redleg trouble is on the horizon.

Davis's kicking ability will go the same way as Mckenzie, Nicholson and G Mac.

IMO poor kickers generally stay that way.

Average kicks can etch out an AFL career poor ones do not.

Replace them with players who can kick, they just break your heart and keep you anchored in the bottom half of the competition.

we have to kick this habit of nursing bad-kickers til we eventually off load them anyway.

Dont draft anyone who cant bloody kick!!

Hard to argue against that.

Hard to argue against that.

Yet something so simple has NOT been overly observed to date. Beggars belief really :wacko:

I guess bb and Redleg when you get to the point in the draft when Nicholson, Mckenzie and Davis were selected you are getting to the bottom of the barrel. They would not be high / Rookie picks if they were perfect.

If Mckenzie was a good kick he would have gone in the first round.

If only he could kick!!!!!!!

But the thing I simply dont get is how ANYONE gets to the point of being in the draft, being considered for AFL ( the highest level of the game ) and cant f'n kick a ball. How does this occur

An analogy being a stool, surely kicking is one of the legs, without which it falls over.

The same thing makes me wonder too bb.

However I think it has a lot to do with the size of the player pool required for the AFL level now.

With the addition of two new teams we have had to find a min. of another 80 players.

IMO these players would not have made the cut in years gone by.

IMO the talent pool is now stretched too far.

That is one factor. Another is the difference between kicking per se and kicking under pressure. I suspect the latter is a lot more difficult.

Watch Davis at training R & B IMO he is no better then than on game day.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
