[flyboy77]

Why?

Because most coaches are thick.

Why?

Because most coaches are thick.

Yeah, that must be why.

[JonHenry]

Yeah, that must be why.

Why do you think they leave him alone?

[IvanAwfulbigone]

What I will say though, is our pressure when we are defending is almost non existent, and that allows the opposition to look a lot better than they probably are.

This is at once the most puzzling and biggest indictment on the club afaic.  It's been that way for 15 years!  :o

Why do you think that is ?

It was the same with Ablett at his top, you couldn't stop him anyway and having someone concentrating solely on him meant effectively playing a man short.
The dickhead roughing Cripps up yesterday had little or no effect on his output but Clarkson loves that sort of stuff.

You cannot compare Ablett to Mitchell.

You cannot be serious!!

Not ability wise but they're both ball magnets, like Carrazzo to a lesser extent.
We used to try and tag Ablett with Aaron Joseph, that was usually good for a laugh.

Geez that's garbage.
If Ed Curnow played on him it impacts his game.
Kennedy should have been given the job, not SPS.
SPS never tried to curtail his output.

Kennedy's stats were interesting. 29 possessions, 15 contested, 7 clearances, 30 pressure acts and a goal. Starting to show why we got him.

Indeed, but people will still bag him for disposal efficiency etc. He's played just 29 games (under a season and a half in total).  He's a pup with a s46tload of upside, on an interrupted preseason and very interrupted season. He will be very important in the breakout year of 2020!
