Anyone we can trust?

Post by robbie67 »

Do we have one player in the team we know is going to deliver week in, and week out? Maybe Watson before he was carrying an injury? Maybe Prismall?

Definately Watson and Prismall, Lovett has also been good every week as well.

Watson when fit, for sure. Very rare for him to be totally shut out of a game.

You might not agree with me but imo one of our most consistent players this year has been Ricky Dyson.

Surprised you're the only one who has even mentioned Fletcher.

As for Lovett... I'm still not convinced. I think Mrs Mercuri has a bit of a crush there... because I just don't see the brilliance that I read about every week.

winders is pretty solid game in and game out.

And I think Dempsey has been very consistent this year too. There really have only been about 7 players who we can rely on this season.

watson
prismal
lovett
winders
dempsey
fletcher

we need to up that tally. ryder has been pretty good too throughout.

I agree, he's been a very good contributor. So much of his game has changed.

You can tell that he is being accepted by most supporters now, by the fact that no-one bags him after a loss. How often did we see Dyson as the first name bagged after a loss?

I admire players with limited ability when they lift an extra cog to get the very best out of themselves. Good on him!

Just the thought of him running around in a Cats jumper gives me nightmares!!! :P We have a lot of players out of contract at seasons end... weird that we have only signed Ryder so far.
