2025 List Management

[Blood Fever]

Cox to me is the biggest question mark going into next year.

A coach that thought we had enough down back without Tom McCartin (read that 100x simply mind numbing) and a coach that had his main talls unavailable but chose not to play the ones that were available

If anyone in that coaching department thinks Mclean is a Ruck of any sort they must be watching a different game to me. Half the reason Im not fussed if he gets traded, not because he isn't a good fwd but because those coaches think he is a ruck.

Will be a frustrating year if we handicap ourselves each week at selection.

We went 8 and 3 in the last 11 games when our list was healthier. Cox not the problem.

Hoping thats the case, I feel he has more at his disposal then what he was using.

We got smashed twice in the last month by decent teams in Cats and Giants who both had an intercept defender who killed it when we played small..... Lead in both those games until the opposition coaches found us out.

The plan was for Tom Fwd all year regardless of Logan, he didnt even train down back during pre season.

He even said Blakey is tall and can play on KPF.
Wilbur and Heens play tall so put them on a tall
Mclean to ruck to make the fwd line small

That last paragraph is like a scouting report for a coach playing against us not for us

I think you will find Roadrunner was totally correct in what he said. When it became apparent that Logan was going to be a late starter due to a lack of a preseason, Cox was well aware that he would miss the early part of the season and this was entirely the reason for trying McCartin up forward. It was hoped that Logan would be ready 3 to 4 weeks into the season, and in fact he did play an early VFL game at the start of the season and pulled up lame.
