Umm - he was a boomer. He used to have a game. Maybe he needs get together with Motts and go look for it!

maybe a coach who could coach bigs

Maybe a coach who could instill confidence in him

Team hasn't been consistent AT ALL this year as a whole. Axel game reflects that. 13 and 13 was what we have needed from him all season, of course with adequate court time and proper 5-7min stints on court comes stats. Very hard to get ANY flow going when you have 2minutes at a time to prove your worth. I would've thought a coach who has played at th highest level would realize this.

I don't actually think Smyth has made a mistake with Dench. The team really looks a lot worse at both ends with him out there. He was given ample opportunity early on in the season and stunk it up. He has really only had a couple of good games but he is just too soft and will never be a top player. Its clear to see why the Tigers dropped him.

Totally agree Kobe!

Ask yourself the question - Would you have Dench back next season under a different coach? If the answer is no, then don't blame the coach.

But wasn't it the coach who picked Dench up?

His lack of defence and inside game

I think dench is a ok player, and dont mind having him, i think he is a guy who needs good consistant minutes say 15-20 mins agame, say 5 mins a quater to get into rhythm and confidence to do well aswell as a clearly defined role. I think he has struggled a little this season as some games he is gettting like 5 mins others getting 25 mins, hard to find consistancy. games like his 13 n 13 effort against the tigers shows he can play and is worthy of 20 mins agame in my opinion. he is a bit different to Motts and Cooper but i dont think he is really any worse, they are all sort of back up 20 min per game centres

I'd rather not have Dench in our team. I personally think he's too soft. I'd rather have a tough nut who can get physical and bang bodies. It would compliment 'Balls' if he stays and take some pressure off him. He needs another physical enforcer.

Dench plays like a point Guard in a Centre Body

I was over dench when I saw the below play way back, he was isolaed down low 1 on 1 against BJ carter I think or someone of similar size and he settled for a 10 foot fade away on the baseline(his signature move)and kinda got blocked. That should have been a strong move to the basket and a dunk on his head. A 7 footer that i have never seen dunk on someone or even in traffic to me says he is not agressive enough and doesnt cut it at that level. His rebounding is woefull normally but its more his lack of enthusiam/body language thats lack most of the time. If only he had the heart and agressiveness of davidson then he would be a monster. Its sad as the bloke has the talent and is a nice guy but its hard to see his career go anywhere now as hes no spring chicken.
