I saw one part where he was 'chasing' Warner down the wing, and he was truly in second gear at best.
That's the problem with so many of the team atm - not bad when they've got the ball, but almost disinterested when they don't.........
Without knowing the incident you are talking about i can't really comment too much.
However, i do know that Hollands (with Walsh and Cottrell) do more km's a match than everyone else in the team. Same group do more 'repeat sprints' than anyone else as well. So its definitely possible that that what you witnessed could've come after some big runs/sprints that took a bit of the sting out of his legs and did not have a chance to recover.
Had you pointed the same out about just about anyone else, then more than likely it would be nothing more than effort. With Hollands though, it could be more about exhaustion more than effort.
Perhaps he needs to be smarter with his running and running patterns so he does not fall in a hole when we need him, not sure.
I just know that i'd be pointing the finger at plenty of others before i got to him.
For a team that has consistently lacked run and effort lately, i'm not sure why people feel the need to drop Ollie Hollands.
He gives 100%, 100% of the time. He is not the problem.
If we start dropping people based on output, how far down our team do we get before we get to Ollie Hollands.....and how far down are VFL team to do we get before we find a replacement. I'll save the effort. There is nothing better below. Ollie stays.
Agree anyone defending him Is conceding we are not a top 4 team. His finished and was finished 3 years ago.
I've been super critical since day 1. I've given him the benefit of the doubt early. I gave him the benefit of the doubt before tonight as well. If ever there was a time for him to prove himself, it was a game like tonight. But no.....still SFA.
Stamp his papers. File it under biggest duds recruited in the last 10 years and move.
Positives. - We have so many passengers, we are playing poorly. We basically did SFA that quarter.......HOWEVER.....its still only 14 points. - We can't play that bad again for another quarter. - We have the ability to sub out one of our current passengers. MUST be a small forward Fantasia/Durdin who have a total of 6 touches between them.
Sydey are the best team in the comp.....and we are playing poorly.....yet we are right in this game.
Durdin and Fantasia last 2 weeks ago. 4 touches between them. Sub Durdin off. Put anyone there, they'd have to be better. Put one of us CSC members there even, would still end up better. Who's volunteering?...lol.
I've got a dodgy knee and a slight current calf strain. Reckon i'd fit right in with the rest of our blokes. lol
