Barring Perkins, ground level was a wasteland. Guelfi, Ham, Smith just don’t have the instincts and were barely on screen as the Lions’ small backs routinely found themselves at the fall of the ball.
Still forward line struggles were what I was expecting, so this makes a lot more sense than last week.
Really hope we see Walla back soon.
Last night showed me that Tippa even half fit is going to add so much if what we need.
Bring Tippa in!
I actually don’t disagree that a 3/4 fit Tiopa offers more than Ham, Smith, Guelfi etc.
Problem is, I don’t think he’s anywhere near 3/4 fit.
Next week or week after Tippa into the VFL, then ANZAC Day back into the AFL. Yes!
This. His skills and pressure is what’s most missed. He creates panic in the defenders in a similar way to what Cyril used to do. We badly need another of these types. Obviously it was hoped mozzie would be this but there must be others out there. Surely?
Problem is he will ping something if he is only half fit, like he did a couple of months ago.
That’s a very disturbing gif, yet I can’t look away
Walla, Snelling, Jones, Tex, Baldwin, 2MP and Martin/Stringer- decent forward line.
Let’s hope we see it soon.
It’s not the same watching Essendon without Walla. Need some excitement.
Hard work is paying off. Not far away now
Best news, along with Reid returning.
There’s bright times ahead, just have to get through this tough little patch!
Wow
That’s the best physical shape I’ve seen him in for a long long time
Right on schedule for Anzac Day.
Yes!
Could be a run in VFL for Walla and Hurley’s return in successive weeks. Get around them!
Yeap agree
Do you have the stats of the players peos mentioned to compare?
this tough little patch! x 10
Those stats don’t necessarily represent him being 3/4 fit, either.
He looked well under that by the end.
Granted, these fractions mean nothing in real terms.
