I want backsies

Post: # 1716705Post Sainter_Dad »

On either Rhys Stanley or Ben McEvoy

I know that they would not have developed as well under our watch - but I want them back

How did Sydney let Hawthorn get Mitchell.
He is a midfield dynamo and the sort of player we need

McEvoy. Stanley played with no heart in a St.Kilda guernsey.

Stanley has been a painful exercise for Cats fans too...so much potential, but only delivers once in a while. Usually injured, or out of form. I was sad to see him go, but there was the promise of bringing in someone who would live up to some potential at the time...it just hasn't happened as yet :(

Of late this feels more accurate

Relax… who needs 70 hitouts, 25 touches, 7 marks, 3 goals from Stanley and McEvoy when we have bad-ass midfield shepherd Billy protecting the mids.

Also we snagged Goddard (touted as a possible #1 pick) and Dunstan ready to go at sandy.

Meh... those are two trades I don’t regret. We got good value for both of them and neither have developed out of sight since they moved.

Just because our own rucks have stalled doesn’t mean these were bad trades

We used the Stanley pick on Dan McKenzie. Like so many of our players - he started well and then completely stagnated.

We have that many players who’ve simply stopped getting better or regressed.

All under Richo’s gaze. Stuffed if I know what the development coaches have been doing during the rebuild
