WB 2013 its gunna be...

Re: WB 2013 its gunna be...

Daniel Cross - disposal was really accurate last season and he has improved out of sight.

True, although I think his disposal was ok for the year or two earlier, he just lacked confidence to kick as a first option. He does seem to want to kick the ball more now which is a good thing.

What are you saying? If we play bad enough we will be relocated?

Or do you think we would be better off watching Ricky Vaughn, Pedro Cerano and Willie Mays Hayes each week?

Seriously though, 2013 is not about wins and losses... it is about the process of building a team that in time will become a genuine premiership contender.

Perhaps Greystache was referring to 'A League of Their Own'?

If there were Brownlow medals for facials expressions then Ayce Cordy would be a top five favourite. Unfortunately for him they're handed out mainly for football talent.

I'd like to see more Of Jack "Widow-maker" Redbath*

The irony is Cross is more likely to hit a target than Boyd, yet Cross is so reluctant to kick and Boyd tries to drill 60m bullets regularly.

No I meant Major League. A team early in the season that looks like a rabble of defective veterans and no name kids that inexplicably gets better as the season wears on. We can always hope.

According to Macca, he isnot expecting any major improvement till after mid year.

Agreed but what astounds me further is the great regularity that Boyd has of missing 20-30m targets under no pressure.

Furthermore, if the coaching staff aren't pulling him up for it, surely he realizes it's a major issue himself when they do the review every week.

Cross isn't a bad user of the ball and stays within his limitations, his problem as you alluded to Grey is his indecision.

The coach needs to bite the bullet and substantially redo the forward line for the h&w season:

HFF: Dahlhaus, Jones, Hunter

FF: Dickson, the Widow-maker, Stringer

that means Goodes and Jong don't get promoted...unless Cordy is put on the long term injured list.

and the Widow-maker should keep the number 2 clipper look but add a mullet al la Danny Southern

Maybe our friend the Widow-maker should take a mark on the lead and kick a goal before we go promoting him. Not that I didn't like his effort but he struggled to finish off with actually taking a grab. There are 3 guys in that forward line with a combined total of 0 games.

At the moment, I prefer the Widow-maker to "the Statue".

If the 20 game rule ever needed further legitimacy, Redpath may well prove it this pre-season.

He certainly moved well on Friday, and I don't want Cordy at FF but I'd like to see more than a good half of VFL and a half reasonable pre-season game before I anoint Redpath as our best option at FF. I'd prefer the spot to be earnt.
At the moment I'd prefer Williams at CHF and Jones at FF

If the 20 game rule ever needed further legitimacy, Redpath may well prove it this pre-season.

He's certainly got some early momentum.
