@_birch14_ Yeah I looked at the stats too and realised it contradicts my comment. But for me the eye test just says he’s not as damaging. Kicking to 50/50 contests that result in a stoppage so therefore not a turnover. Again, I know I’m nitpicking.
@TimGossage He’s got the look of a bloke that’s just pretty content with being an AFL player. Would be the first to check stats.
If Harley’s spray didn’t change his mindset, a month in the 2s might.
@HaloTerritory@Mtrumbo44 Spot on! Currently they *might* hit a homer and then that’s all the production for the inning. Can’t remember the last big inning they had with multiple doubles and 7+ guys having an at bat.
@JeffFletcherOCR This offence is absolutely feeble.
Can’t remember the last ‘big inning’ they had.
Literally just chasing 1 run all the time. Lucky to get baserunners on and then just followed by horrendous at bats whenever we do. Chasing the big fly.
@FOXFOOTY Mini’s toxic positivity is an issue. Hoping the messaging internally is firmer and more direct.
Get the sense a lot of the young guys are currently caught in that ‘just happy to be an AFL player’ mindset.
@_birch14_ Good summary.
What I’m sick of hearing from the club is ‘we won inside 50s’
Doesn’t matter if the quality is terrible, which it is. So shallow and gets turned over. Kicked straight to their spare man so often.
Had a few deep entries and what do you know, we scored from it.
