If you want to see average disposal by foot watch no. 6 against saints. More misses than hits.

 

Lewis wasn't that bad.

Collingwood and Richmond are reading this thread thinking "one day we too can get to average."

 

 

PS: Prestia 43% eff. lol

Fasolo didn't have an effective kick until the 4th term. His six kicks to three quarter time were ineffective. 

Both teams will struggle this year. Top 8 teams don't kick or handball at that level.

TMac can run, change direction and look for good, open options that can start many attacking thrusts from the backline. Occasional execution lapses should not detract from his attempts to start attacks. There are many other clubs who would love to have a FB who could play 3 roles as a one on one gorilla, as a interceptor and and as a play maker.

OMac is still learning the craft. If he copies his brother then we will have 2 top defenders who will be the envy of all other teams. It's will be like having 2 Jesses.

Lewis was ordinary in first half but played very well 2nd half. 78% efficiency isnt too bad.

Speaking of handballs, Aish's wrists must be made of jelly.

Aish is soft. A couple of times he refused to go back with the flight last night.

I wouldn't want him in my team. Reminds me of the sort of player we had in the early 2000s that would look great if all was smooth sailing, but when the pressure cranks up they'd crumble.

The reason we picked up Hibberd is to address some of our kicking issues.

If he gets on the park he will be a big plus for us.

Seems like it could be a very astute trade.

Reminds me of Toumpas. 

Speaking of soft, Prestia and Will Hoskin-Elliot will have their heads down on a couple of occasions in the review meeting.

I was surprised by Prestia last night too. As some will know I've followed him for years and I wouldn't have called him a soft footballer or ordinary by foot, but he was a bit of both last night.

Hoskin-Elliot, despite his goals last night, is an ordinary player.

I think Hoskin-Elliot has good attributes for the right team. Effortless pace and athleticism. If he can finish like last night he'll be alright, but he does tend to butcher it and is scared. 

I've never thought Prestia to be soft, quite the opposite. After last night I'll watch more closely. Becoming a soft butcher in 2 games, he's really bought into Richmond already.
