I thought Cordy was a garbage choice considering he’s not a forward, hasn’t played well as a forward, hasn’t been impressive and his preseason characterised by his lack of fitness… has been a complete non-factor so far.
I’d have preferred Sharman by a long shotop but not overly damaging. Hope to see Bytel get in amongst or some more. Made a bad decision early but he looks a goer for me
There's a fair amount of irony in these statements, probably for the same reason too many fans went way too early on Sharman and thought he was the answer to our next forward line super star.
Here we go again we are calling a player garbage after 2 quarters, just hilarious considering Cordy at least has some credits in the bank, namely he's played in a flag, time will tell that could be his peak but I don't need another minute of watching either player to know Cordy is the player 18 out of 18 coaches would have Cordy over Sharman on an AFL field for the time being.
Is Cordy even playing still? 3 touches. Close to worst on ground

Re: Match Thread Saints v Freo Round 1 2023
and yet you believe a player who was overtaken to a kid who's been at the club for 3 weeks would be better, my point being is maybe it's time to just reserve judgement before going too early on the ridiculous.skeptic wrote: ↑Sun 19 Mar 2023 6:16pmI said it was a garbage decision and your criticism has nothing to do with the form parameters I mentioned.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Freo Round 1 2023
So advantage twice when we had no advantage
We kick a goal taking an actual advantage they bring it back.
Love how the deliberate rule has been ignored now for us.

All I’m saying is that based on our preseason…
Both haven’t been great but Cordy came in as a defender, out of shape, in form, hasn’t played well as a forward and had a lacklustre preseason.
Coops came back in better shape, plays as a forward and has had ok games as a forward.
Experience doesn’t mean anything if you’re not in a position not to do well…
It was very predictable that Cordy would present as very very poor in this game and so far he has met those expectations

Effort enormous - tick

Re: Match Thread Saints v Freo Round 1 2023
St Byron, I know you’re at the footy so shouldn’t be worrying about this joint, but round 1 is the time to set the standard for the year regarding spamming this thread with umpiring whinging, even when asked specifically not to.

As others have said, effort is there but skill level is just not up to it, sooooo many mistakes!

Re: Match Thread Saints v Freo Round 1 2023
I’m a big fan of playing Gresh forward, but has been disappointing tonight IMO.
Obviously no tall forward doesn’t help.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Freo Round 1 2023
The umpires are not doing too bad- basically we are giving away stupid frees by poor lazy tackling, not forgetting the absolute rubbish from experienced players which gave Freo goals. Our forward line is a bunch of individuals who don't seem aware of each other. Gresh is disappointing and needs to stop trying to show pony- same for Higgins.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Freo Round 1 2023
They are trained to kick high to King, but he's not there, nor is anyone else with significant height. So, the best thing to do would be a scrub kick wide otherwise Freo will mark it.
