Re: Round 14 Pre Game Thread - Blues v Western Bulldogs
Reply #25 –
Roos, Buckley, Walsh and a few other coaches have been pushing the issue all season. I think the AFL will be under pressure to do something about the rule. Ellard might not get many more games. Too much competition for his place. He can be covered by a number of players. He tries hard but isn't as dangerous a player as he needs to be.
That's one of the knocks I have on Davey, his possessions just don't hurt the opposition enough and midfielders really need to impact games with their possessions and heat on the opposition when not in possession of the aggott - Davey's just too small to hurt with his defensive or offensive games.
