Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023
I believe Rays gripe was the feeling that the coach didn't value him and that's why he wanted to go to the Saints which from his perspective was the right move. I always felt that Eade didn't have a plan on how to use Ray effectively.
Perhaps Everitt has come to the same conclusion and wants out now.
Hopefully he will see the light but I did hear on Saturday that a couple of clubs were keen on him and that he "was on the market"
The reports in the paper seem to support that.
Thanks GVGjr. Then the question is what's been happening at Willi? Surely Everitt should have been given opportunities to play most positions to see where he fits in, i'm not too sure that's the case though (although please correct me). If Eade doesn't believe he's seen enough of Everitt succeeding in other positions then i think the issue goes to development and the alignment. I'd hate this to be a reason why we are losing player/s.

Josh Kennedy didn't do much at Carlton or even the Bullants for his 1st 3 years and who wouldn't put him in our team now.
We'll never develop a Key forward if we can't show some faith and patience.
He did play terribly in that qualifying final last year, but had many mates. I thought the club kept on saying last year that Ray was a required player and they did everything to keep him, but he wanted to go. Is that right?
I'd be gutted if we lose Everitt he is going to be very good and has a lot of talent, it's a shame is we lose him.
I don't think Ray's season has been any better or worse at the Saints than at ours. I just think his role there suits him more. At the Dogs, we trusted him to be on the end of the link ups and carry the ball. If you'll notice at the Saints, he always looks to handball to the running player, because he can'tkick. I'm not knocking the boy, his move to St Kilda was good for both parties and he fits in better there. He seemed like a good kid and I always liked his application, but he has poor skills and decision making. The Saints have turned him into a decent player there because they have removed the requirement for him to rely on either of those problem areas. It was hugely noticeable in the PF what his problems were. As we knew his game, when he got the ball, we just gave him space and forced him to kick.
Oh, back on course. If the price is right for Everitt then trade him, but I'd really rather keep him.
said in the Age today doggies will more than likely trade skinny for pick 27, I hope this is not true
