Leo Connolly

Leo Connolly narrowly lost the B&F in the 2's to Campbell

SO HOW ABOUT EVERYONE START APOLOGIZING TO ME NOW ABOUT MY EVERGREEN DEMAND HE PLAYS IN THE 22?

No, but I will if he gets to stay and then starts getting a game and performing

Going well at Sandy is no great indication of how good you are, they were ordinary side for most of the year

I'll take that!

How does losing the reserves best and fairest to a 31 year old, twice-delisted player, who played less games, scream best 22?

It doesn't, you're right.
But it offers at least some credence for my respect for his abilities and attributes.

Ratten values foot skills, so it was odd that Connolly didn't get a run. Jake Batchelor's input into selection was surely a factor.

I agree. If players have elite capabilities, in this case foot skills, then those qualities should be exploited rather than focussing on the negatives. The coach was happy to overlook Brad Hill's lack of tackling pressure, Paton's iffy disposal and decision making and King's poor goal kicking.

Playing at Sandy is not exactly beneficial to player development, nor does it allow players to show their value in a higher tempo, higher quality of game.

Agreed with all this.

Leo was competing for a half back position? Competition was an All Australian, an Indigenous All Star and Jimmy Webster/Highmore. After the feted first two Jimmy was clearly preferred and perhaps Highmore seen as providing defensive flexibility, possibly a trade off between Tom's intercept marking and Leo's speed and kicking. Well that got us to 10th with a bullet. Still not sure what Jimmy's comparative advantage strengths are, tries hard, but so do others. Experienced but not often Sainter of the Week contender. Leo deserves a go in '23 because same old same old didn't cut it.

Leo is an exquisite kick, many before him have mastered the same skill but not the many other skills required to become an AFL player. He is very poor defensively, is too outside and although he kicks really well his decision making with his kicks are poor with repeated attempts to pull the trigger on a bullet pass to the opposition's advantage.

The fact he came 2nd to Campbell in the Sandy B&F in an incredibly poor side in an incredibly poor comp should tell you he currently has no place on an AFL field.

Lucy van Pelt herself could not have put it better.
Should the team apologise or just Leo?

I think the club might already be sorry.

Delisting Sharman would be silly, his natural forward line running patterns and clutch goals are going to be required in our backline.

Not at all, I'm pretty certain Ratts has rightfully put Sharman in the highly unlikely project player, break glass in case of emergency only category.

It's probably why Bing doesn't want to come to us, he'd be worried Sharman would keep him out of the team.

If Brett needs a slap then sure...ya gotta crack a few eggs to make the perfect benedict. But ya can't make it with just eggs...you any good at cooking?

You rate Leo because he can kick?

Takes a bit more than that to be a senior AFL footballer

We need players who can play!
