Relevant again…you betcha!

Post: # 1985942Post Saintmike65 »

For too long our club has been wallowing in mediocrity and lack of relevance.
Well, not any more.
Ross will shake up the place and, along with Geoff Walsh, Simon Lethlean and Andrew Basset, will give us a much harder edge than we’ve had for a very long time.
Ross will reward players that put in the hard yards and eliminate the kumbyah element at the club.
There will be selection integrity and players will have to perform on a consistent basis to stay in the team.
Bring it on!!
Can’t wait to get to training again!!!

Butler and Hill- if they're named in Rd 1 (unless as emergencies) then why bother

The Mordi Sporting Globe isn't too happy with that news ..... their turnover has just taken a massive hit.


Not Craw, CRAW!

What a ridiculous statement!
Hill is a genuine gun. Great user of the footy.
Butler's 2020 season was superb and very stiff not to be rewarded with an AA selection.
Ross may be just the tonic for them to find their mojo again.

I will say that if they (or any given players) are named in round 1, then you'd better believe they've earned that spot.

Scenario:
Hill, in the backline, is either about to gather the ball, or already has it in his hands.
One or 2 oppo fwds are close by.
What happens next?
I'll wait...🤷‍♂️

Agree, it's like he never had a decent game for us.

Why? What's the point? It's a half-baked (virtually uncooked) scenario.
Not sure why, but you have your unchangeable opinion of Brad Hill...I don't really care.

From what we know or have heard from past players is that RTB is a straight shooter .... no cuddles on offer

Plenty of players it seems have been coasting .... well not anymore ..... either you do the work or you can take a walk

The players now all get a clean slate or should.

More likely scenario: Hill, on the wing, receives the ball off the mark, kicks it I50 to King. What happens next is anyone's guess but you can best believe that Ross will play Hill to his strengths.
