As a life long member this is the worst I've ever felt about the Dees, just when we have a heap of talent that should be the envy of the comp we find ways to stuff it up. I just want one off these guys to become a top 3 player in the comp for once... Expand And leadership i think was missing. I reckon chunk might have settled them down some what out there. And if Lewis was still out there, he would have calmed them down, and got them focused in the middle. What is happening now with the runners.? Quote

His disposal is a massive defect currently but he also gets a lot of balls without much choice but to quickly get rid of it. Need an expert to fix that one.

Coq au vin 755 Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 He’s a small flea who runs around fast. He did one goal assist today and a few tackles. He also gets smashed many times because of his size. Reminds me of other promising players we had who ended up delivering nothing. Quote

Demon3 2,541 Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 Clayton had a bad game, horrible actually, last week he was one of our best, against Carlton probably our best..

So maybe lazy in that sense. And doesn't do enough when the ball is not in his area, hence his lack of effort to help out the defence, when the ball is coming back at us. I've seen him more in the backhalf in the past 2 matches, than i can remember. But he is not great, or skilled in that part of the ground. He makes a lot of mistakes. 2 Quote

BW511 2,730 Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) I’ve had a feeling since early last year that he plays in a slightly different manner to protect his shoulders. Still think that’s true. He’s not soft and I am not implying it, but he also wouldn’t run through a brick wall to get the footy like the real top line inside mids do. He wins an enormous amount of ball, it’s just gotta be more beneficial for the team for him to do so. We still lack a genuine A-grader that brings effort, skill and game winning ability. We lack the strong coach and the strong on field leaders to drive standards. There is not one bloke on our list I would trust to show up and perform every single week. Its a very frustrating and underwhelming task supporting this club Edited July 5, 2020 by BW511 1 Quote
Fanatique Demon 2,764 Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 Oliver dishes off to a player under pressure, time and again. If by chance the AFL introduces "team prior opportunity" as has been discussed on On The Couch, many of Oliver's disposals would result in a free kick to the opposition. 1 Quote

You’re a confusing poster - passionate yes however a bit all over the shop Expand I said the coaches weren't happy with is disposal ratios, and he wastes a lot of them. And they want him to use the ball better and use it by foot. For him to kick more, as we know. That means they want him to get out with the ball and use it by foot. Not that he receives the ball on the outside, although that would be good as well. He should kick the ball more often, but not slam it onto boot under pressure as he does. He needs to escape with ball, away from the ball up, and use the ball. He can kick very well when he has time. Quote
