Well Hunter Clark, it's been a long and dare I say it fruitless time having you in the side. All along, I knew I was doing something wrong, and that you were a POD for the sake of a POD.

Welome Dan, you have throughly medium sized shoes to fill.
Welcome back Hunter Clark! Never doubted you!
Hahahaha that's gold.

interesting article on SEN about the Saints how they basically will have 10-11 "new" players to fit in this season with their 5 recruits + Carlisle , Geary , Hannebery , Roberton , Webster hopefully playing a full year + King.

Lost Acres , Bruce , Steven

Now I'm wondering if Professor actually works in my office, and was looking over my shoulder, waiting with his pre-prepared Hunter Clark ammo for as soon as I posted....
He's good like that isn't he...Hence why I'm terrified at posting any of my PODs for fear of him shooting it down with another one of his tweets...I post them in the Q4R thread instead.:)

If he's playing, there's a good chance he'd actually be taking the kick outs over Lloyd and Dawson.
Will be interesting to see how this pans out .... I don't consider Lloyd as a "damaging" player .. so he might still be left off the leash to accumulate those useless stats for no particular reason ...

Hinkley interview today, “Houston a lock for midfield, trained the whole pre season in the midfield”
Locked in fellas? :D

Reading that is as good as it gets. I think it will be very difficult for me to leave him out personally. He'd need to post some pretty horrible scores over the preseason or Doedee/Roberton would have to post some extraordinary ones to replace him.

The term "intercept defenders" annoys me a touch ... after all it generally results from a poor midfield entry and/or to a so-so lead from a Forward ... one or both are generally at fault but most of these guys aren't paid peanuts to execute in their chosen profession ...

Fast forward a few years to a USA based waiver system and these guys might pay more attention to the execution of their supposed skills / roles ...

Lots of room for improvement IMO in this particular area for all teams ... goal kicking % is an also an issue ...
