Otherwise send him back to the WAFL in 2015.
Yes I wonder about why Leeis not making the grade! Had a chance at the crows before and needs to impress or he will be lost onall teams in the future an will be left in the WAFL as his best career option.
The way h played over here drives me to say he should have the ability but potential needs to be converted to execution.
Work hard Tom.
Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.
You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency
Was just using Darling as an example..point was...we need a kid or two who stamp themselves on the game by Game 50...plenty of other clubs have them...been prolly 12 years for us.
Saunders got 31 supercoach points in 1 qtr of footy.... granted it was the last quarter which i believe inflates his score slightly, but kudos to the young lad.... 1 more than ye olde saadine.... who played a whole game
Just for the record stats are full of s*** at times. It amazes me why so much credance is given to them. Yes some stats are usefull as a guide but thet are not be all and end
all that some people believe. Jack Darling is not a gun, Buddy, Roo, Ablett are guns. Jack Darling is a very good player but has not sustained his performance over an extended
period of time. People tend to want to judge such things to quickly. I would draft 100 young aaron hamills before 1 jack darling. Defensive pressure, presence and leadership,
jack darling is not in aaron hamills league and is a joke to put them in the same sentence
Not sure anyone is calling Jack a champion, just has great output for a bloke in his third year, and his first two years were very good for a young Fwd,
Stats can be irrelevant for some players... Not forwards, they earn possessions.....
What did Aaron Hamill do as a player that was significantly better than Darling.... He was a third fwd and he kicked 1.5 goals a game, laid three tackles, about 12 touches and rarely kicked more than three....
Jack has a better output in all areas.... Either Hamill is overrated, or Darling is underrated...
Stanley has the potential to be much better. He just needs to be in the game for longer periods of time. He tends to have a brilliant quarter then go missing for the rest of the game.
