    Re: Williamstown v Northern Blues Saturday Aug 24th

    Appreciate the updates 'stache.

    Very happy to hear that Pearce excelled in a small negating role down back (and on a very good AFL quality player). It is an area on our list we have a deficiency in, so if he can keep improving in this role it would give the list even more balance.

      Thought he played some good football last year, particularly in a game where played very well versus Brisbane. Though agree, a player with four years on the list (one cut significantly by injury) should have shown more irrespective of the distance he started behind his peers in terms of development.

      I look at out list and have Markovic (Del), Vez (Del), Addison (Del), Cross (Ret) and Gia (Ret) as the immediate players I want to see moved on and I'm finding it hard to make an excuse for kepping Howard as he's seemingly taken a sizeable step back this year.

      If the attitude was an issue I'd happily see the back of him, though there's a side of me that thinks a player that has demonstrated a capacity to play well at the top level (albeit briefly) should get four reasonable years at it.
      Howard added some nice physicality and a bit of courage to his game this year, so I thought he was a better and more well rounded player than last year. He needed to have a bigger impact on games though. His last few weeks he has struggled and his physicality has dropped off as well.
      It's a credit to the depth we're developing that he played several games last year and just one this year.

        Just watching the game on iView and at half time it mentioned that German has one year left on his contract and has to make a decision to stay with the dogs for his contract or break it and stay at Willie.
        I read out of the conversation that he doesn't want to coach the dogs development squad.

          What about Markovic?

          Delist him?


          Definitely going to be some hard calls made at the end of the year.

            Yep. We only need one back up key defender and Austin has gone past him for mine.

              Jones ran hard quite a few times just to put pressure on the opponent when he had no chance of catching them. That's the sort of stuff the MC would love.
