^^ it was his first time in 7 years.  Not sure we ditched him or he moved on for greater opportunities as the inside mid spot is very much occupied.

Like one swallow not making a summer, lets see how he gets on again moving forward at the Doggies.  Kennedy is a fine player, but he isnt a needle mover on his own.

Having only six players who played all games was a significant factor in our season.

However, what I want to know is why the best and most irreplaceable CHB we’ve had wasn’t rated? 😇

Because that was from pre-season, he hadn't played a game there.
Do you want me to find one from the middle of the year??

And that's why the 'paper' team we've currently picked means 'diddly squat'.
We're going to find later in the year that players who are currently not in the paper side will have cemented spots...some through a change of position or role.

No i get that, i'm just pointing out 2 things.

1. If its all about players that play every game, we stuffed up last year.
2. If its more about the quality of players playing, then players playing every game is somewhat irrelevent, as long as the players playing are better than players previous.  eg Fogarty, good on him, he played 20 games. Not 1 person picked him as a starting 6.
Only 1 person gave him a spot on the bench, 1.
So does it matter how many games he played or does it matter that he is no good?!
Same with Motlop, played every game, he just got a gig as an emergency in our team this year though.

Well if we don't have paper teams at this time of the year we may as well shut the site down  :P

Its all speculation.

We don't even know who Vossys favourites are yet ;)

By all means discuss it
It was a fun exercise.
Just don't give it any weight.

With regard to players playing every game.
Individually it  may not be important but the more players who play together, the more often, the better it is for team dynamics.
They develop an understanding and cohesion.
They gain an understanding of their teammates strengths and weaknsess under pressure that training cannot reproduce.
If half the side are missing half the year, playing injured or have their minds elsewhere it's not conducive to good team development.

I get that, and its also 1 reason why i prefer to 'grow my own' KPPs. Better for team development rather than imported one later. ;)
