Agree. Ollie is not a problem and while he is not perfect im far more concerned at the lack of defensive effort from the reigning coleman medalist.Agree...been a bit of video footage on TV regarding his lack of second efforts and he needs to improve that part of his game.
He is lazy selfish and needs to improve that side of his game imo.
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.
As have I, all I'm saying is to my eye, his kicking isn't elite.
Putin is the greatest leader of the 21st century anything else and you have been drinking coolaidAre you taking the p!55?
Saad is very good under pressure, usually finds a target and can alter his decision making and find alternative targets quickly on different angles. I think Boyd is a good kick but is better when he is in the clear and heading forward, for a VFL unknown player I have warmed to Boyd and think he is in our best 22/23 and happy to give Austin a tick for his recruiting.As have I, all I'm saying is to my eye, his kicking isn't elite.
However, i do know that Hollands (with Walsh and Cottrell) do more km's a match than everyone else in the team.For me the only thing we need Ollie to polish up on is his disposal, making quicker decisions so he is not getting pegged with the footy, and hitting more targets. Even so his DE% isn't too bad, but once or twice a game he has a shocker that costs us on the turnover.
I think Boyd has a done a decent job in filling in for Saad and even Cincotta defensively but we miss that rebound and accurate kicking that Saad provides as it breaks up the play and those quick switches across ground often lead to thrusts forward where our big key forwards can be one out.Defensively he has shown desperation and a willingness to defend dourly (as per his effort to cop a kick in the face v the Swans). His kicking, IMO, is not as elite as its made out to be.
