Dear Don, like me you have made few posts but have obviously been around for some time by the date of membership, and like me have read through many a thread, stating that this player is no good and that player is no good and then all of a sudden out of seemingly nowhere, they become the player we needed while we believed they didnt have it in them.
I do not wish to castrate you or be critical, but say this, it is now my belief (because i have made the wrong call on many players myself, and wondered why i could be so wrong) that if a player has showed plenty in the past, but now seems to be a dud the underlying factor seems to be a major injury within the last 18 months and or a limited preseason. I believe Brock is one such player that falls into this category.
Many, myself included, may have thought at the start of the year that Davey's time was up and was no good anymore, when in reality unbeknown to most of us he had many many niggling injuries, and i'm sure there are many more players that i dont know of, or can't think of at the moment in the same situation
I guess my point is it is difficult for each of us, unless we are close to the goings on within the club to make calls as to whether it is time for a player to move on. You may well be right, but i think there are other circumstances for Brock's lack of speed/disposal form and i for one would be very sad to see a young man move on who out of his own pocket put a substantial amount of money to saving the club, and appears to bleed red and blue. If Brock can consistently have uninterrupted preseason's over the next 2 to 3 years, it is my belief he will go to be the best captain of the Dee's since Ronald Dale.
