Im unsure how people know our player development was appalling under RL. They might not have played much because some just arent good enough but I'd be pretty sure the coaching development was pretty good. They certainly spent a lot of extra hours on coaching.cwrcyn wrote:Early last season we had serious doubts about McEvoy. He improved immensely with more game time. Perhaps Archer will develop with the right coaching and sufficient game time.
Remember, our player development had been appalling under money-bags. It can only improve from here and Archer could be a beneficiary.
.
Why does everyone hate Archer so much?

Worked well.....didnt it plugger....the countless hours
One innings in the middle....worth 15 net sessions...and opportunity was never entrusted upon a kid.....therefore development stagnated....
Steven and McEvoy......Got there opportunity only through injury...not at the expense of anyone...given extended opportunity what did they do.....GOT BETTER
Have you listened to the back end of Dean Laidley interview on SEN....not enough opportunity given....
David Armitage is the best example of our development.....
vs Hawthorn 2009
First half of the year 2011
His limited exposure in the midfield has stifled his development.....I remember him towelling Shaun Grigg in 2007 playing at Casey to win the ABC Player of the match....and thinking...wow I think we actually got this pick right (filthy we did not take Riewoldt)...then I watched him DOMINATE the first half of the season in 2009 at Sandy....he was clearly the best player and the team was flying.....I was dumbfounded when Eddy was added to the team in late 2009 when David had earned his chance
BTW
Why were we recruiting all of these guys who cant play....spending time and money on them...
Armitage, Miles, Smith, Archer, Winmar, Lynch, Geary

I would think 'Hate' would be the wrong word-
how can you hate or even dislike when you haven't seen... as many would not have.
'Hate' seems personal and very few would have met let alone know Daniel.
continually see why they say the english language is reducing in the number of words being used within a persons vocabulary - people take the extreme and opposite with out using degrees.. and media are the worst. - excacerbated by txting.

it's like when we call players hopeless... there is no one in the AFL system that is a hopeless player... the mere fact that they got there shows that they have serious talent
we say hopeless meaning hopeless at AFL level
