Just watched the press conference and reiterates exactly this. Was even trying to blame injuries already. Seems like he knows he is in the hot seat. Also indicated they might try some different things next week. Macrae will prob be made to play full forward.
Oh dear.
I know that sometimes players and coaches make inane comments or don’t want to reveal anything, but I often find the interviews and press conferences extremely instructive. I think they’re underutilized for fantasy.
Macrae is one I was asking about in another thread. Normally I wouldn’t even consider trading someone who has only underperformed to the extent Macrae has, but if his role is no good, that changes things. To me he looked tired and/or uncertain a fair bit last night, I’m not sure he was that confident in how to play the role. He kicks very few goals for a midfielder, so he’s one of the last Bulldogs mids I would push forward, but Bevo does strange things on a regular basis.
Just need tI weigh up whether it’s likely to be an ongoing issue/whether someone like Daicos can score similarly or better at a lower price.
