SPS - Gointocarlton - 11-30-2020
All the SPS admirers thinking he needs to play midfield, think again

Judging by the recruiting and also by the noise coming out of the club, it sounds like pace and attacking flair is a big priority. It's the right move IMO to use SPS as an attacking defender. Both he and Saad could conceivably play higher up then the other defenders. I'll be most interested to see what we serve up in the first few games.

No, he's not fast, I agree. But having an attacking flair and good instincts can compensate for the lack of speed, to a degree. The thing that worried me was hearing Amos talk about him as a potential Mr Fix It, something which usually results in whipping boy status and unrealised potential. Just ask Bryce.
Re: SPS - kruddler - 11-30-2020
I don't understand this peronally. He has to play on instinct because he doesn't know how to play half back. How many half backs do we have that do know how to play half back. Why not use one of them, or our new recruits?
Jones and Weitering are a lock for the KP. So who else plays down back?
I'll be generous, pick 6 from the following and 2 can play wings as well.
SPS, Docherty, Plowman, Newman, Williamson, Saad, Williams, Marchbank, Stocker.
How many mid spots have you got left now? Who misses from there?

I hope we have this problem a lot, as I'm tired of having half of our team sitting in the stands. We haven't finished a season with anything close to a full list since the mid-90's. Teams like Richmond and Brisbane have full lists come finals time, and what do they do?

SPS doesn't defend, Saad doesn't want to pick up a man either.

From the article:
Champion Data stats show that Petrevski-Seton conceded less than a goal a game to his direct opponent this year, including having no goals conceded between Rounds 11 and 17.

Yes, if Samo is getting the pill and his opponent isn’t, he is defending.
It seemed to me that there were times when he was unsure whether he had the time to get the ball to a teammate and got pinged for holding the ball or turned it over. Experience should help to minimise those situations.
Re: SPS - cookie2 - 11-30-2020
I thought SPS began to look a lot better this year imo, and restored some faith that he may well become a very good player for us. Prior to that I definitely had significant doubts about him.
