At times when Pickett was forward, yes. Roberts had initially started on him and had time on him later.
Pickett also spent a fair amount of time coming up the ground and was at a centre bounce at one point as well as distributing off the HBF. Melbourne definitely looked a lot better when Pickett had the ball in hand so you could see them trying to play through him a fair bit
Roberts actually started on the wing at the first bounce before quickly switching to playing in defence.
Many people have realised that very point and have made mention of it, myself included.
Uhn no, he didnāt take him out early.
Agree 100%
But can you also see how having McGrath as our best stopper is a problem? He must be shuffled down the pecking order
The way heās been going theyād be more of a chance without him
Apolgies I meant to add Parish to the logjam with Shiel Hobbs Tsatas
I think Setterfield is a lock if he can maintain his form. Heās a point of difference we need.
Iād lock in Merrett Caldwell Durham and Setterfield
And include 2 of
Hobbs Shiel Parish and Tsatas.
Personally Iād be playing Tsatas as soon as possible and one of the others.
So, letās say we finish somewhere around 9th, our own first pick could be in the range of El Achkar and Sweid bid. Lolā¦ that would be a disaster from the plan of getting in two top 10 talent in addition to our NGAs.
Oscar Allen is officially out. Not sure if that helps or hinders us. He has been awful.
Heās the sort of player that will be play his usual one good game in 5-6 weeks against usā¦ so probably a good thing.
In the end it doesnāt really matter either way. The outcome depends on our attitude / intensity to be professional (not flat) and whether or not they respond and bring real heat and pressure to the contest.
If weāre flat and theyāre on their game, itās game on. Thatās with most games btw.
Whereās the team
Regardless of his form, he would still probably warrant our 1st/2nd defender. Improves our match ups.
One change peter in bryan out
I like it why change a winning team
There could be more
Unless some one pulled up sore after the game i doubt it
What have you heard?
Oh no Iāve heard nothing.
Just saying that just because one change is mentioned doesnāt mean there are not others
