Martin broken down again! Re injured his calf.Stamp the papers, he is cooked, cannot be relied up irrespective of his talent. Trade or delist at years end.
Time to put a line thru this bloke or how long did we re sign our SC guru for again?
Year in year out constantly have the comps
worst injury lists - wont win a flag if this continues
If we get Fog back, the loss of Cotters won’t be critical. If Fog’s not right, the next man up would be Binns. He isn’t far off Cotters in running power but his lack of experience and defensive intensity could be exploited.Problem is finding a suitable opponent too where you can afford to risk him defensively hoping to gain an advantage with his rebound work.
Williams does his best work with the ball in hand and has produced moments of brilliance running off halfback. He is vulnerable when one out and closer to goal, particularly early in games when umpires are more likely to pluck frees. If our defence is well set up, Williams isn’t as vulnerable and can hurt the opposition with his run and creativity.
I guess that it boils down to whether we value rebounds from defence over stifling the opposition forwards.
I think Williams is best suited to running with the ball, if he must play, keep him on the hbf, not bp.
Use his speed and delivery, minimize his need to defend deep 1 on 1.
With Cotters out I don’t think we will win.
Where do you play him? Cant defend to save himself. The midfield experiment has already failed once. Maybe fwd?Tough question....trial as a small forward?
