Re: Hickey and Weller
Quite the change in tune after telling us all that Hickey (using that unpleasant disrespectful name you call him) was completely finished as an AFL footballer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And in not such a nice way. Oh and that the midfielders want Billy because he clears a path for them. Maybe they just don’t Hickey there because he gets more centre clearances than them (7) and more contested possessions (11) than them and so he makes them look bad while Longer with his one kick and 3 handballs makes them look good?stonecold wrote:As I stated the other day, on form, yes!!!!!Enrico_Misso wrote:We have resolution....

Longer to stay out.
Hickey offers so much more than just being a tap ruckman.

Both can play deep forward and even centre half forward because they are mobile, win hard balls, tackle and can mark.
Not blaming Acres for yesterday’s draw but when Acres was in the ruck GWS piled on the goals. Same used to happen when Bruce was in the ruck.
In the last quarter the coach cut short Hickeys rest period to bring him back in for the rest of the game because they could see this and with Hickey at least squaring the ruck contests we had a bettter chance of clearing the ball.
This team needs Hickey as ruck and Marshall at CHF and Paddy as deep forward. Hickey rests at deep forward and Paddy goes to CHF awhile Marshall relief rucks. Hoping that is the set structure for the rest of the year.
Membrey or Battle play the 3rd forward / transition up the wings. Can pick ine of those 2 with Acres taking more midfield time but playing that position while the 3rd forward is resting.

Re: Hickey and Weller
Maybe you should check threads more often Simon, I stated after last weeks game that Hickledik(his nickname in some circles, share a mutual friend who calls him this), improved in the 2nd half last week and deserved to hold the spot. By the way, he only beat a park ruckman yesterday, so as stated, don't get too carried away just yet!!!!!BackFromUSA wrote:Quite the change in tune after telling us all that Hickey (using that unpleasant disrespectful name you call him) was completely finished as an AFL footballer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's see how he goes next week first, as previously stated, all the best to him and I hope he can continue to improve, but before you get on your soapbox (too late, by the looks of things, haha), a couple of half decent qtrs doesn't mean that he is back!!!!!
Good signs though from Hickledik, PS, you seem to dislike Billy (me love you Longertime) than I dislike Hickey (which I don't, by the way)!!!!!
Maybe as a Mod, you could spend less time potting regular posters!!!!!
Have a lovely day and well done Hickledik!!!!!
Also, funny how Rooey suggested the same about Billy yesterday and basically qouted word for word
what I have been saying about both rucks!!!!!

I think you overheard Rooey in the Saints' office while you were hunkered in your cubicle
looking at 'auscelebsforums' searching for pictures of weathergirl cleavage and other NSFW stuff.
YOU quoted Rooey.
Not the other way round.

Re: Hickey and Weller
Maybe, just maybe Richo will wake up and realise that Hickey is our best ruck option.
I think that Hickey lost a lot of confidence last season as he knew the coach preferred Longer based on ruckwork and a more solud option.
But Longer means that it is 17 vs 18 for 90% of the game and that is a huge handicap.

Hickey must have been given instructions on what to do at the Zebs, what to work on, but the Zebs' coaches would have told hin different stuff (you can't have 2 masters) and he's thinking 'Longer gets one touch per game and I still can't shift him, what the eff'

Re: Hickey and Weller
Longer just doesn't get enough possessions around the ground to warrant a return to the team, coldstone.
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
