Apparently he has very little feeling in his feet; a side effect of his cancer treatment.  I imagine that could make someone look old and slow  Sad

Mitchell is 90% of their midfield but he's a very limited player.

Burgoyne is their only top quality mid. And they keep trading out draft picks.

Madness.

They still have a long way to fall off the cliff yet.

Agree.....they will try and trade in some readymade midfield talent IMO....Sloane/Wines would be the type they would chase....

Chemo can cause loss of feeling and in some cases reduction/loss of taste. I know from the experiences of someone close to me. I feel very sorry for Roughy as he is still a young man and I wish him well.
Reality always wins in the end.

O'Meara goes ok when he can stay on the park. But Yes, I think they've got some work to do.
Coming together is the beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.

Indeed. How long that lasts is the question. He couldn't get off the ground. Our defenders killed him in the air.
Live Long and Prosper!

Chemo no doubt doesn't help but Roughy just looked old.

He's just repeating what Carlton (Cripps, I think) said after the game - that we're a young side and we needed a win to help develop a winning culture.

We're in the early stages of development - just like you seem to be.

Fundamental difference between Cripps saying that about his own team and Clarko using it as a cop out... ah yeah we lost - well we weren't really trying anyway.

Clarko is currently leading his club towards either a successful rebuild via trade or a half-baked attempted shortcut.

Either way it's nothing like what Carlton are doing.

Yeah I'm sure the cancer battle wouldn't have made much difference. :Smile
