It looked to me like Eade's lack of confidence in him affected his form, but with McCartney's backing he's grown a bit.

Agree with most of your post but this is where you are not correct, Rocket loved Addison and his hardness at the ball.

Yeah you're probably right, but he barely played him last year, so I guess that's where that comment came from.

Last year Addison was really out of form. At Willi they tried him in a variety of positions including the midfield. Personally I like him forward rather than back.

Actually Addison's main issue over the last 3 years has been continuity. He tended to get promoted and immediately cop an injury that cost him his spot.

In 2010 he performed very well at Willi in the midfield even to the extent that he was copping a tag on occasions. He was also vying for positions where we were well served.

Well this should come as no surprise to anyone that I'm commenting on this, but I'd argue that Addison is the same player he's always been, just that this year he's been given a consistent run at it.

It's easy to forget how well he was developing before he hurt his knee in 2008. As a young guy, he played 17 games in a strong side that played in a prelim final.

It looked to me like Eade's lack of confidence in him affected his form, but with McCartney's backing he's grown a bit. He'll never win us a premiership, but he's a good solid player that's always worked hard on his deficiencies. I'll agree that he does seem to be smashing in even harder this year.

He's a good role player, harder than a cats head. My favourite current Dogs player by a mile.

Might have to change your user name back to its origin.

So does this mean we were not boring to watch today? I had other commitments so I could not watch the game.

We only lost the second half by 3 points, so worth watching for some good passages of play.
