Americans prefer oriented, and rarely use orientated.
British English speakers are more likely to use either.
There is an opinion that the use of orientated comes from using orientation too often in a work place jargon sense, and assuming orientated is correct.
Essentially they mean the same.
Sort out where you’re looking, where you are, based on the compass (eastwards)
Given it’s JD, bugger the compass points and perhaps use “goaltated” or “goalted” as preferred terms.
As in “Big Joe got himself goaltated with that one”
Anyone know if the stat for how many times we kick to particular players inside forward 50 is available online?
Fox showed a stat before the game showing we’d looked for Joe the least out of the Hooker / Stewart / Daniher trio. Interesting to see what the breakdown was yesterday.
Just taking that at face value, makes a lot of sense, joe and stewart were pushing up the ground and stringer was our deepest forward, so after coin flipping joe/james as to who to go for, it was then all on stringer.
I’m not as worried about Joe as a lot of people. His second and third efforts yesterday were much better. He had 3 goal assists (rated elite), he consistently brought the ball to ground (despite having two opponents on him most of the day), and he got better as the game went on.Two clutch goals in the last when port were coming at us. Also regarding his goal kicking, if Joe is more confident in snapping from the pocket, and has a higher success rate, then who cares. He kicks more goals doing that then he does kicking normally from that spot. Also had three clearances from minimal time in the ruck.
He is obviously down in confidence but it was awesome to see the whole team get around him in the last quarter. Can’t wait until he dominates Anzac Day once again.
Yes, but he doesn’t lead in straight line or up the ground like Cale. In this, I think Cale is a better support for Joe. However, Stringer is a genuine goalkicker and excitement machine in his own right.
Joes improvement will come from just more consistency. I doubt he will ever pick up another element to his game, or doubt that any one area will ever improve drastically from last year… but any improvement he makes will come through just greater consistency, everyone can achieve that no matter how skillful you are
It will turn due him soon I reckon. Stringer and Stewart hitting the score board consistently will help. Side are paying very very close attention to him at the moment. He’ll stay to find more space when sides start putting more time into stringer.
We needed to spread our forwards better and I though we did that against port.
