Not sure Franga will ever be any good but that defence particularly in q3 just looked confused and unsure of positioning.
Wouldn’t be making any changes back there just yet.
Some better organisation down back and some straighter kicking up fwd and that’s a comfortable win. Not a lot of defensive smarts in the middle either but wouldn’t be hitting panic stations just yet.
Raz has kicked 3 in the first half.
Sigh he’s going to kick a bag against us.
Prick my curiosity to see what the newspaper for Essendon and Hawthorn game ,who they gave best on ground, why is merret no ,what it heppel no, was it shiel no, to my astonishment who had limited preparation through the offseason it was Brownlow medal is Tom Mitchel
Allir,Allir to intercept till the early morning
Could get close to 100 points next week…
I note Port aren’t squandering their 40 point lead at half time.
Never said anything remotely like that
What I said is that we are trying to build a team, to do that you have to test out your players to find who can do certain things and who is willing to play to the plan
Just out of interest who are you playing as a tagger last night? I promise you that if you list any FIT player on our list i can give you reasons why Tom Mitchell would have shredded them
It will be one of those games where we talk up Dixon all week, and on the day guys like Gray, Butters, Duursma & Raz will be the ones that massacre us.
It ain’t going to be pretty.
The four you mention are bona fide players of high quality.
I’d only make changes in the backline max - maybe Gleeson for Redman and move Hooker back. Wouldn’t mind seeing Francis have a dip up forward. Is a lovely kick IMO.
Our forward line was not the problem last night - it was the midfield and the defence. Yeah there was some shaky kicking from Jones but he’ll be fine. At least he was getting shots.
Wouldn’t mind insisting on midfield man on man if the opposition gets two or three goals in a row to a) retard the quick clearance and b) to see who puts in the effort on defence.
Out: Dodoro.
Sorry, it’s high time.
He’s had years to address our midfield and it’s as dismal as ever.
So, so deflating watching our midgets be bossed around last night like schoolgirls… yet a-farking-gain…
by who?
Omeara 1.83m
mitchell 1.81
worpel 1.85
shiels 1.83
Parish 1.81m
Caldwell 1.83
Mcgrath 1.78m
Merrett 1.8m
Shiel 1.83m
hardly a huge difference
Agree 100 per cent
It doesn’t really work this time though. We struggled competing in the air because we weren’t tall enough.
Port are much taller than Hawthorn.
We just can’t afford to have Snelling, Ham and Cahill in the same side.
Nik Cox not suspended! $2000 fine
And not just a bag, a big bag. Nothing surer. The 4.4 he kicked this week will be 8 straight next week
And if he was playing for us this year… he wouldn’t be sighted.
Hooker down back fixes that. Should of fixed that in the 3rd term really
Any donkey can be a tagger,heppell he tag Smith,caldwell
Yep, our magoos getting smashed by over 40 points indicates not many banging the door down for selection
