Would think it now puts him ahead of Brennan and Macca for sure as the best FB to play for this club. |

Self referential? I mean you could dispute my comment, but it's accurate and some of you kiddies on here seem to struggle with facts .... Priddis is a marginal player who our coaches are backing in ahead of a number of kids - let's hope it only costs us one guy, oddly a guy who pantsed him when they went head to head in the main pre-season infra club game, then got picked as a forward most of the year ... Perhaps because winning this year was more important than developing a better midfield in,say, 2013... |

Give me a decent surf.

Are we seriously bagging out Priddis? |

That last statement is dangerously reminiscent of the tanking principle - screw this year, we'll play the kids with 2013 in mind. If an older player is good enough, they should play. Winning now and possibly not winning later is better than not winning now and possibly winning later. And besides, Priddis is actually younger than Kerr, Glass, Embley, Nicoski, Cox etc. |

Sure, making a decision that our current midfield isn't good enough to win a flag and we need to accelerate the development of players who may get us there is tanking FFS.... Winning now with tradesman and finishing between 4th and, say 9th every year is acceptable for numerous clubs. I would have thought we prefer better than that. Priddis will be 27 when next season starts. We have clearly backed him in for another 80% of game time in our starting centre square. To the detriment of Ebert, Swift, Stevens, Masten ... guys who have received the bulk of their midfield time when Kerr (who is automatically in there) has been injured... I'm fine with the fact that the coaches have made that sort of call, it certainly helped us win this year, but they need to be responsible for the consequences if it doesn't deliver a flag ... I am still of the view that this midfield, as currently constructed, can't win a flag. Priddis is the issue I raise because he lacks versatility and because he can't play run with, so he is offensive in his role and he lacks cutting edge in that role and he is slow and I reckon we need a better player getting the bulk of minutes in that role. He has almost become our accidental "main man" by virtue of Judd, Cousins, Braun & Stinger all leaving and Kerr being injured. He was about the only one not in nappies who was a mid. So we built around him to some extent. Not his fault, probably not the coaches but it would be a bit like Richmond building around Tuck and playing Cotchin at Half-forward.... Then reaming Cotchin for being average in that role ... My issue is not that he personally can't play footy, it's that he can't win us a flag or play his current role in a flag side and he can't play anywhere else... Feel free to engage in much talk about surrounding him with outside players etc etc but the best midfields don't play to cover the weaknesses of their key offensive mids... |
