We simply get next to nothing, on the whole, out of our ENTIRE senior group.....whether injured, disinterested or whatever.
1. Murphy
2. Gibbs
3. Kreuzer
4. Walker
5. Thomas
6. Jamison
7. Everitt
8. Rowe - been serviceable in 2016 imo.
Three #1s draft picks, 2 #2 picks, etc.
Leaving 1AW out of the mix due to injury - the other 7 are actually producing less in 2016 (granted only 4 games in) than they did in 2015 - and that's saying something.
These are the guys that should be the engine of the team out there - think Mitchell, Hodge, Lewis (retired?), Burgoyne, Gibson, Roughy - you never, ever see these blokes go missing.....so why do ours repeatedly?
Focusing on Gibbs, even if he gets 30 disposals, we all know 25 of them are soft, on the outside, gets that have no real impact on the game.
Shame we can't trade players mid season.
I'll cut Murphy some slack because of an interrupted pre-season with his shoulder. Will do the same for Jammo as he's been a great servant but is obviously finished, a place all players get to eventually. Walker had a decent first game but hasn't played.
Now i've said that, I agree.
