Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 17

Meanwhile, over at the Hawks fan forums, they're discussing delisting Cyril Rioli to play at Box Hill.

Didn't Picken play on Rioli?
Surely you're not comparing Addison to Rioli?

I'm genuinely confused by your post BAS... What's your point?

Cyril had 8 touches, DFA had 8 touches.

People are calling for one of them to be banished to the VFL and it ain't Cyril.

Here I was thinking comparing them would be unfair.... Hence my confusion.

But on this line of thinking, that they are somewhat equal, we should be able to trade DFA for Rioli. So that's good!

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 17

Whilst I agree his decision making is poor at 21 years if age and less than 40 games he deserves some slack. He has the ability to get the ball, he tackles and pressures the ball carrier, just needs to learn to be more effective once he has the ball

Which is the hardest thing to learn... I'm sure if he had at least adequate decision making & skills he would be a member of the Eagles team.

Hmm, it's an interesting argument, but the main reason he didn't come on at West Coast was poor management of him when he had a lot of injury problems in my opinion.

Addison didn't have a hard tag on him

Did have Josh Gibson arseholing him for a fair chunk of the day.

Stevens was a good pick up, he had a bad disposal day yesterday but he will bounce back this week.

His disposal is one thing, but his constant dishing off to a teammate in a worse position, and under more pressure was staggering yesterday.

I'm not comparing Rioli to Addison in terms of skill. I'm merely stating that I'm fairly certain the Hawks fans wouldn't be falling over themselves to delist half the team based on match statistics.

Big difference when you talk about Rioli. He is a gun and a match winner. He is out of form at the moment but when he is on fire he can turn a game on its head.

You're entirely missing the point, perhaps that's my fault for not making it very clear.

I would hope the coaching and list management staff would look at more than just statistics when deciding a player's future, and if so, Addison is safe for now. Yeah he's not brimming with talent, but he makes up for that with mongrel.

Re: Bankers and Anchors - Round 17

Surprised at the harsh judging of Wallis and Addison.

Wallis was playing on Luke Hodge, and did a reasonable job.
Addison played deep forward and competed well, brought the ball down in front of him- and kicked a good goal from a half chance.

He's been taking some ripper marks up forward too, one last week and the pass from Grant on Saturday wasn't ideal when there were better options if he had centered it , but DFA took a ripper mark, he's got a good leap on him. Wish he could do it a bit more consistently.

Thought Wallis did well on Hodge, great lesson for him about how to play uncompromising football.
