Expand I reckon his size might be a concern for his whole career, he's definitely got some tricks but is often too early through traffic before the real heat comes. He might win us a game with a flash of brilliance, but it will be 1 in 10 or worse Give him a breather and give Bedford a run now. Edited August 22, 2020 by BW511 1 Quote

Steven May is the lynchpin of our backline. Lockart is the improver The problem with our defence is the lack of pressure & presence of our smallr fowds , who ällowed"Footdcray to move the ball down the ground at will. Players like Daniel & Liberatore set people like Bont, MCrae & Smith up in moving the ball down the ground with the least resistance BECAUSE they choose the right options (and are given time to do so).

gOLLy 401 Posted August 22, 2020 Posted August 22, 2020 Hibbo. Trade or gone Fritsch. Can he kick Tommy. We must delist Harmes. His a tagger Spargo. He must go Tomlinson. Get rid off Salem. Soft as @#$+ Melksum. We must trade Vander. Must be gone Jones. Hang them up Quote
Swooper1987 3,322 Posted August 22, 2020 Posted August 22, 2020 I thought Tomlinson could hold his head high today. Ditto Lever. Our midfield was deplorable for the bulk of the game. Viney gave his usual wholehearted effort but to limited effect. Petracca and Oliver might as well have not played for all the influence they had (and I am a fan of both). You could throw Brayshaw into that as well. The forward half pressure was non existent. Harmes is just a shadow. And our relatively simple shots that we missed just meant at no stage could we put effective score board pressure on. Much more than three words I know. Goodwin was given a lesson in how to adjust during a game. Beveridge completely outcoached him. 1 1 Quote
DubDee 26,710 Posted August 22, 2020 Posted August 22, 2020 Viney, Vanders, Langdon, May all tried their guts out. harsh on vineys disposal as he was being tackled most times he was kicking.

leave it to deever 17,621 Posted August 22, 2020 Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) Spargo a poor game with 2 rippers in the bank. Fritta was good today with 8 marks. Weid is good but canr seem to maintain his intent for 4 qrtrs. Hannan, Harmes and Tmac have had their day it seems. Pickett is just starting out so needs more time. Back to the drwaing board. To be fair to Goody who would want this bloody iob. Edited August 22, 2020 by leave it to deever Quote
dee-tox 4,835 Posted August 22, 2020 Posted August 22, 2020 Not sure Pickett has stuck a tackle all year. Plus you have to more than look dangerous to play AFL. 6 Quote

Half forward flank 1,022 Posted August 22, 2020 Posted August 22, 2020 So much of what Goody could do is some frank talking of things to never do again. Petracca if I ever see you handball over your head again you wont play next week. That would be a real learning. 3 Quote

Fanatique Demon 2,764 Posted August 22, 2020 Posted August 22, 2020 Pickett just ran around in circles. A waste of space. Interesting to see if one of our posters gives him a vote today. "I always give Kossi a vote." 1 Quote

He’s getting a fair few looks at it, but is very selective as to when he has a crack. Fritsch and Melksham give zero defensive pressure and neither are consistent enough to demand the respect of their opponent. Forward line is still an issue and will be for as long as Melksham gets an armchair ride 4 Quote
