4 of your back 6 have poor to average disposal, which isn't good enough, IMO.

Always been a big fan of Sinkers and was impressed with him on Friday, busted his ass for the stripes and was one of the only players who could hold his head somewhat high on the night.

I also don't understand the flogging of his disposal, he was disposing of it at around 75% last season, nothing wrong with that.

Missed a couple of goals early in his career and some people just can't move on.

you are going to be stuck with watching him for a while. he is best 22. he reads the play well. he knows where the footy is, how to get the footy and to keep it moving forward. he will get better and better as his body continues to grow.

So long as Buckley is coach, yeah he is, particularly with Marley absent.

But I stand by my contention that he is not a best 22 player with everyone available.

This.

Particularly given the brand of football Buckley wants us to play.

Ideally you'd have Sinclair out of there for another defensive small with better kicking prowess (maybe Ramsay or Broomhead). Or perhaps for a Scharenberg and have Toovey play smaller. You'd definitely have Reid there, especially as a spare man, which would require us to abandon this notion of sending the +1 to the contest.

That way, you would have 3 or 4 reliable outlets by foot (Keeffe, Seedsman, Reid, Scharenberg/Ramsay/Broomhead). A wingman like Young dropping back makes it as many as 5.

While Williams cant play it will be Young/Seedsman/Reid and Maxwell in those final 2 spots

i'd be running young/seedsman off the half back flank or wing. fasolo to move back forward eventually.

the back half would consist of sinclair, brown, williams, toovey, keeffe, young, seedsman and harryl plus a midfielder or two for cover.

One of the reasons we will suddenly turn into a seriously good football team as the year progresses and he starts to realise that he is a fair dinkum AFL player
