Yep, that's it, there's an 'agenda against him'.
It's got nothing to do with the fact that he:
- Has thus far struggled with his ball handling
- Struggles to control the ruck when in tackles
- Doesn't bend the line on impact
- Doesn't possess a notable offload
- Is barely serviceable as a link man
- is frequently pinged for marker or offside indiscretions
- Is wildly inconsistent in terms of output from week to week
He's a serviceable and versatile player who can fill a role. He puts his body on the line and competes well on effort plays.
But he's not especially strong, fast or impactful; doesn't possess a dangerous offload or skilful soft hands. He doesn't particularly whack in defence, nor does he move laterally in a manner that is impressive.
He's ok. And that's fine. We need a few ok players in our 17 each week to do a job. He's got a home there for now.
But all this talk of 'agendas' and 'hate' is so stupid. Put the pearls down and start watching football objectively.
It's not that dramatic.
I agree there isn't an agenda as such. Why would there be? I also think the negative points you made about Alex's game are correct, however I think you have emphasised them to a far more negative degree then what is actually happening on the field just to emphasise your point. Just my opinion.
