Has years of my stats not provided enough evidence of Pittonets elite tap work? You have to wait and hear it from Cripps?
Everyone else is deemed fit for the exercise.
What I found from the exercise is that we've got a pretty good VFL team when there are few injuries.
One point that probably needs to be made is that Cripps is a fan of having Pittonet in the side....and it kind of showed.
MBB’s post from the post GWS game thread:
Apart from destroying the “Charlie doesn’t defend” nonsense, it illustrates one aspect of Fantasia’s game that goes largely unnoticed.
As Thry has pointed out, Fantasia’s leadership is another reason why he is in the team. We have more than our share of relatively inexperienced players and Fantasia’s guidance and encouragement is invaluable.
Is Fantasia in our best 23? Probably not, but he will continue to be selected until Martin and Motlop are back in the mix.
Apart from destroying the “Charlie doesn’t defend” nonsense,
One or two games of stats won't make a big difference to overall stats, but after a couple of games the umpiring effectively forced TDK into changing his technique when there wasn't anything actually wrong with it. All because of Scott whinging.
We had plenty of debate about this at the time, and the influence of our ruck coaches, surely you remember.
We need to plan well for the following....Kennedy and George will do serious damage I'd left unattended.
Blicavs will go to Cripps
Atkins will go to Walsh
If the pussies win those match-ups (or break-even), we are severely hamstrung.
Don't mind replacing Fantasia, but Moir is still a fair way off. He will be given plenty of time to develop before being paraded out a la Binns. With one or two exceptions, we are right into development and ensuring young players have served a comprehensive apprenticeship.
