Sorry mate, IMO he was woeful against Crows. 6 possessions, dropped chest marks etc. Had zero influence on outcome. You won't convince me otherwise.

He didn't handle the ball well, your right, but he contested every ball in his vicinity and kept the ball in play in our attacking areas. His bulk was beneficial to the side and we stood taller with the extra big body in the team. He plays a more physical game style than does Dunn. And while this is not overhead marking, it did help. The problem is we don't have that big power forward Yet that can throw his weight about in the packs. IMO, thats watts been missing from our attack.

reading the player review on the MFC site it seemd like the coaches were least happy with petterd?

Good to see I am not the only person that picked this up nor do I disagree with them. This is why I struggle with Newton copping so much heat yet nothing on Petterd who was lazy and missed gettable goals early in the game. I would expect he is the most likely to make way for Howe.
