My 3 word player analysis V The Glues

[jacey 333]

This is exactly the problem.

one of the biggest problems with mfc is our deadwood can play a bit.

e.g. Carltons deadwood are crap and easy to delist.

We have a string of playas who can play a bit n probably too good to be delisted but they are also not up to afl standard.

Too many depth playas if u may.

Brown, Ferguson, Godfrey, Holland, Jamar, CJ, Miller, Bizzell, Ward n Warnock come to mind.

They all offer something but the tough decision needs to be taken with 4-5 of them.

For what its worth, I think Bizzell should be re-signed for another year

But he is depth at best

He had a great game on the weekend, but that was playing loose against the worst forward line in the comp, missing their best forward. As a loose player, he is really good. As an accountable defender, he is adequate at best

No way will Bizz get a game, when we are at full strength

Bizzell is not the future if he's only going to be around for another year, if that.

FB: Whelan Frawley Carroll

HB: Bell Rivers Petterd

C: Johnstone Jones Bartram

HF: Sylvia Bate Davey

FF: Newton Neitz Robertson

Foll: White McDonald McLean

Int: P Johnson Bruce Green Moloney/Wheatley/Dunn/Buckley/CJ

1) Like I said before, 2008 is the future.

2) So my backline with Bizzell is too short? You replace him with Frawley who is 5 cm taller and that is now a big enough backline?

Let's just agree to disagree.

Frawley will keep growing and putting on weight.

And that is not the only reason Frawley is ahead of Bizzell. Defensive ability and potential have a lot to do with it too.

Any way you cut it, Bizzell is depth.

There is no way you can actually tell me that he should be getting a game ahead of Frawley, be it this year, or next.

I understand that he's a favourite of yours, and he has played up to his normal standards this year, but as many have already said, he does his best work as a third man-up. Rivers can do what he does better, take on a key forward, and has better disposal and decision making skills.

With Bizzell and Rivers in the same side, the defence is not entirely balanced.

I feel we'll be much better going forward with Frawley and Rivers in key positions, Carroll as third tall, Bell and Petterd as medium defenders and Whelan as a small defender.

But hey, agree to disagree it is. As long as our coach next year agrees with me, I'm happy
