Looking at some of my players who have been underperforming, Lachie Neale, Dylan Shiel. Last week they both had approx 75% time on ground for scores of 100 and 78. I've been following Neales progress and am curious as to why he hasn't been able to produce scores like last year. Is he being tagged? Is he injured, hence managed tog. Or has his role changed where he comes on in small bursts, giving more game time to the kids to speed up Fremantle's rebuild. Brayshaw, Cerra, Banfield, Crowden etc. From a disposal efficiency perspective Neale has been spudding up with a few clangers.
Regarding Shiel, I think he's being managed due to injury. I wouldn't be surprised if GWS rest him as they've done with Kelly and Greene. Taking a conservative approach. I think they want their best players playing during finals, hence the spell.
I was following Hannebery from Sydney who was having his tog managed, unfortunately for him he's injured agajn.
Does tog become an indicator of factors such as injury, form, conditions, opponent much ups etc.
Can you tell why your players are under performing?
Just after people's thoughts.
