Re: SPS - keogh - 12-17-2020
Too slow
Lacks size
Lacks intensity
Never been dropped should have
Not good enough to play midfield
Another mids pick SOS screwed up

Lacks size (Bigger/Heavier than Fisher or Gibbons)
Lacks intensity (Works inside stoppages well)
Never been dropped should have (Probably true, but form isn't an indicator of ability.)
Not good enough to play midfield (Not sure about this claim!)
Another mids pick SOS screwed up (Was he picked as mid, and what are the other Mid screw ups?)
SPS has plenty of upside, but he needs to be used the right way. Not sure BB or the MC did him any favours, I've faith in Teague getting the most out of the playing group as it was a feature of his coaching last time he was here.
I'v mentioned before, our midfield looks horribly slow, but the problem is our engine room is too slow overall, on average we are below par in terms of leg speed. This means the opposition can block our run and spread with just a couple of decent chasers to peg guys like sMurph or Fisher.
It also means the opposition can put a quick negating spud like Jed Anderson or Jasper Pittard on Cripps, because they aren't needed to chase anyone on the outside. Cripps can't get away form them because he is not fast, and because he rarely hurts them physically they can play small on him, even when he does hurt them it's by accident.
Add one or two with leg speed to the rotation, instead of overloading the midfield with slows like Cripps, Setterfield, Ed, Kennedy, Walsh as an all in, and you find they all get more time and space!

Really?
Even though he’s not a natural defender, he did exactly what was asked of him. He will be one of the first picked for many years to come.
Re: SPS - jeza - 12-17-2020
Sammo has a long way to go but I think he's not really a half back.
Teague has got to trust some of our younger players in the middle. Running with Pitto Cripps ed and Setterfield again isn't going to get us very far. Treacle slow.
Dekonig Cripps Williams and Walsh should be the first choice but Cunningham showed a bit in the middle when given a chance. Sammo too - I still remember that 30+ game he had when he tore the Dogs apart. Ed has never had a game like that in his career. Setters neither.
Jack took out Fyfe which won us a game. Did the same with Oliver then went forward and kicked 3.
Dow needs to get fit but if he does he's a midfielder and don't pick him as a fwd pocket.
There are options in the midfield. Teague needs to start trusting them more.
Even Stocker. Plays all his career as an inside mid, gets to the AFL and then he's a half back flank. If you want a half back recruit a half back.

Couldn't agree more. I don't get the vehement criticism. Although I also thought he'd be better suited as a mid, after looking at his stats as a backman, against his opponent, he's been very effective.
Re: SPS - keogh - 12-17-2020
He was recruited to play midfield
Simple as that
Fair enough in the first couple of years he may play in defense but the last 18 months he has gone backwards.
Saad, Williams, SPS , Docherty need to spend time in the middle

Keogh bags everyone and everything. I don't take any notice of anything he says.
