This Coaches Corner made it clear to me that Anderson does not want to pick Wallam, and wants someone with SSN experience. Also very defensive tone to it, a bit of ‘dont question my decisions’, which makes me think they are going to go for Folau and are getting in front of the bad press. Sigh. I really liked some aspects of what Anderson bought to the table last year but her list management has been poor. We lost 2 of our 3 circle defenders, clearly had someone in mind for GK and missed out on them which made us look ridiculous, got done for violations during recruitment period, and then let one of the best young GAs in SSN leave before also immediately realising we need a replacement shooter. On top of that, we are going for a replacement who is semi retired and highly controversial instead of an obvious young gun pick.
