Re: Daisy ready for 2015 Reply #3 – January 09, 2015, 09:17:15 pm Some good positive signs from what Daisy stated about himself, Warnock and Kreuzer. These three really offered little as a total last season. If they get to where they need to be it will be a season where we should win more games than we lose. Jamo, Murphy, Gibbs, Rowe and Judd are just expected to come out on the park and have a serious impact every game. There are some good sized units in that group that trained.
Re: Daisy ready for 2015 Reply #4 – January 11, 2015, 04:18:45 pm Tutt 3rd in the time trial. A guy that fast should not have endurance as good as that. Very positive. We had played last year 3 men down with Bootsma, Duigan and Scotland all gone by round 5. Truckloads of surgery. No Judd / Kreuzer. A lot of doom and gloom. This season has a totally different feel at this stage. So glad we underachieved last year. The club finally got serious about the number of players we had to turn over. The list looks in so much better shape- both in players and fitness.
Re: Daisy ready for 2015 Reply #5 – January 11, 2015, 04:22:38 pm Just by looking at him Thomas looks so much fitter this year.He had some love handles last year - this years' version just looks lean and trim. Casboult looks like he's built right up. This year he's really got to produce.

Not to mention finishing in the bottom 10 gives us the games against the easier sides which gives us a real shot at finals football.
Re: Daisy ready for 2015 Reply #7 – January 11, 2015, 06:18:58 pm He needs to start earning the 700k a year pay packet that he is on in 2015. That means returning to midfield and averaging 25-30 touches a week. He was not recruited to play in the forward pocket or get easy touches off half back.At this stage the recruitment of Dale Thomas has been jost as bad as the recruitment of Mick Martyn.
Re: Daisy ready for 2015 Reply #8 – January 11, 2015, 06:45:20 pm TBF, he never was a midfielder or a high disposal accumulator. He was more of a flanker, always a great impact player providing big moments in big games. That's what he needs to do for us to make it worthwhile.

Re: Daisy ready for 2015 Reply #11 – January 11, 2015, 09:45:45 pm I think if we paid him $700k last season and it appears way too much, that is a fair call. If he gives us back 3, 4 or 5 unbelievable seasons of "A" grade, elite football, he will have been worth all his money. His number reason for being picked up, was to fill the hole Judd might have left. Then one of the young guns would eventually take the key mid role. You pick who you think that gun might be. These young kids just can't be a Judd after a season or 2 in the seconds. IMO. Once Daisy hits his pace and skills, he should repay his worth with no troubles at all. I have faith he will never be Mick Martyn for us. I hope like hell I am spot on with what I just posted to not look like a joke years down the track.
