Football Department Review

[ElwoodBlues1]

Was going to highlight the same thing.

List management has been average. Failing to recruit any backup at KPD was pathetic. Ironically, through all our injuries we've almost survived in that area, just missing Jones for about 3 games (with no backup available at all!)
Ruck stocks....similar. Silvagni being in there highlights this too.
Wasn't really rectified during the MSD either.
I could go on.

I find it funny that those saying injuries are no excuse give the list management a tick. It has basically being responsible for us not being able to field a competitive line-up.

Agree with all of that.....the list is unbalanced and lacks cover in KP areas and with a multitude of injuries you get exposed big time.
The mid season draft gave us no cover even though we could have picked another player or two. Mirkov is ultra raw apart from getting injured himself and Boyd is another kid with no senior experience and why pick another tadpole? Teague got left with a paper thin lineup and when Jones got injured it left a hole you could drive a truck through which is what Port did to us.
TDK looks stuffed, Jack was boxing out of his division rucking and our best KP forward in the VFL was Crocker.
Charlie Curnow isnt up to flying for big marks or going too hard and he needs a pre season so no miracles forthcoming from him.
You add playing players with injuries and its been a debacle, what hope has Teague really had when you dont have the resources.
