repeat - bailey wants future forward line playing together, learning together and growing together. Miller has been tried and tested and been given his fair share of oppurtunitys in the the past. we are moving forward. this is why Junior and Bruce should finish up at years end. its all part of the process.
my mate and i were having exact same conversation. he said you(the club) would be happy with anything from 8-12 next year. i said if we dont make finals the year must be considered a failure.
facing facts bruce and McDonald will be asked to move on comes years end end . we have a great list of young players . forwards mids and backs . they need games together ie watts jurrah sylvia with delivery from our emerging midfield. living in sydney has been hard . so far this year ive been too two games the lions victory and queens birthday .
next years forward line Jurrah Green Aussie/Jetta
Pettard Watts Sylvia
Bate needs to be consistent, been around long enough. need crumber. multi dimensional
if Miller missing easy shots on goal in games we were never going to win is playing to team strategy, well...
where would you have Green around the ground? ideally we would love two of him, i think our backline took a huge step this year and needs to grow without him
Watts had his own weights program put in place by the club and will continue to do so one would imagine. do people think Watts is going to rely on his talent ala Lord Travis. Watts is a smart kid and would know himself after his three games last year how much work he has to do. Brad Green is a leader in my eyes and should line up at ff next year., while pick 11(hopefully a key forward) may need time like Watts, My forward line next year would be Aussie Green Jurrah, HF Sylvia Bate Watts, when Watts need a rest sub him with pick 11, the year after pick 11 replaces Green and problem solved. Miller if not traded stays in the two`s as a back up
