Let’s use your approach then. Imagine :03 left on the clock, fourth quarter, down by two points. You could win the game with a 62 yard field goal. You know Haushka doesn’t have the leg. I guess you’re gonna send out the 310 lb backup olineman to have a go at it? Or maybe CB #8 on your depth chart? Again (and I don’t mean to lecture you youngsters), toss aside three cans of tomato soup (you have plenty) to make room for the truly special foods you need to win the battle against hunger. Field position and points can’t be won with numerous CB/Oline backups. 28 minutes ago, 4merper4mer said: Any reports on whether this guy is a Glove Wearing Mary? Australian Football does not allow gloves. Plus, if Edwards can perfect the drop kick, we’ll win enough games that he’ll forget his hands are cold.

If they let go of Bass b.c he isnt good enough than your scenario doesnt matter b/c he was let go for not being able to make FGs (BEFORE THE SEASON EVER STARTS) and we should have made other plays to be closer than 62 yards.

TBBills Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 You will either keep Bass who will if kept was chosen b.c he can make FGs at any distance or Haushka b/c Bass cannot make FGs at any distance. This is Bass's job to lose b/c Haushka we already know cant kick long FGs and is regressing into not being able to consistently kick FG's in his range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, yet, you forget about accuracy inside 40 yds and onside kick talent (Hauschka) and accurate punting inside 10 TD line (Bojo) and drop kick/distance punting (Edwards). There’s more points on the table than just Bass. I was hoping some of you would have an open mind but, alas, I gather you have dug your heels in. Don’t come crying to me when they ask Nickel Corner #6 to come out and try a 60 TD field goal or a directional punt because we weren’t savvy enough to retain talent for those situations that might arise.

Bass can kick the long ones and who said that Edwards can't directional punt? He's averaged 27 punts inside the 20 the last 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure bojo was top 3 in the league in touchbacks so he's definitely not that accurate inside the 10-yard line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergs, I probably have been one that has been kidding as well on the kicker thing so I apologize as I know you mean well and are a good egg. I can understand an argument on Bass and Haushka if they can afford it (not so much Bass but House’s comp), but absolutely 100%no way on two punters. Find the right one, place another on the PS and we move on. Trying to compromise here. The argument not just in skill but ensuring we have reliable kicking, but the COVID part makes for a conversation at least maybe they keep both. A lot of ifs, but I can buy that. It’s not like we didn’t justify it before with one for kick offs and one for FG’s. It’s just which position to short as we’ll have to add one extra to the PS. We have to have a back up plan for kicker, punter, long snapper, and QB on the PS. It’s why guys like Webb might be safe at least for the PS, or McKenzie for PS as remember when he played CB in a pinch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not watched Australian rules football for a while but I remember seeing players with gloves on. There were rules against wearing gloves (i.e. sticky) which aided in catching ball but were not in latest set of rules I found online from 2018. There is actually an AFL approved list.

Charles Romes Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 It was probably a mistake to invest a mid round pick in a kicker and backup QB in the same year. Two extra roster spots just to preserve your draft investments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wont be shocked if in a few years we end up with a good trade/draft pick for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
