2017 VFL Practice match Carlton vs Richmond

[Robblues]

When people handball it to you the ground you are going to have handling issues. Murphy cost us that goal, not Daisy.

Daisy had 5 I50's, a goal and a goal assist. Was far from the worst bloke out there.

Rewatch the last few minutes of the game. Tigers running the ball on the near side wing, tight to the boundary. I forget who it was but there was some carlton bloke jogging along behind him and the ball. Daisy comes flying past him to put the pressure on. Doesn't get a stat, but gives effort 100% of the time.
That's why he is in the side. To show the kids effort is unconditional.

Nobody is saying he is still a gun footballer. He is paid more than he should be, but that is not Daisys fault. Judge him on what he does on the ground, not his paycheque.


@Baggers...
VFL form doesn't translate to AFL form.
I'm talking effort at AFL level. All those players i've mentioned have put in terrible efforts at AFL level in terms of body language and effort.

With Kruds on this, if part of this process is to show the younger players what's required to achieve success at senior level, from preparation to on field effort Daisy would be ahead of many. Unfortunately the ability he once had had been ravaged by injury, but obviously the club see's that effort as part of the group showcase for the younger players. Playing Graham, Jones, etc it's been done , they might grab some extra numbers at times more than Daisey but ultimately no more part of the future, but if Daisey can impart a skill set to the younger brigade showing disaplne & attitude , would rather that that some one picking up a few more stats in a game or two. It's about the journey
