He's too strong & too good overhead for small defenders, a just quick enough for tall defenders not to be able to take him, a genuine game breaking player. 3 Quote

At the break of Gawn 4,515 Posted April 4, 2021 Posted April 4, 2021 Harsh on a couple here. Brayshaw was our only winning mid early. Fritsch kicked 3 up against an AA defender 8 Quote
Dr.D 1,771 Posted April 4, 2021 Posted April 4, 2021 Oliver: An immature performance. Pickett: Proving me wrong. Mcdonald: Lost at sea. Spargo: Good despite miss. Rivers: lacks defensive iq * a bit harsh but a lot of his mistakes are costly. 1 Quote

DeeZone 10,596 Posted April 4, 2021 Posted April 4, 2021 We are in a good place and everyone chipped in when it was their turn, GWS got away with a lot of holding and crude tackles which caused them more pain than us.!!! Quote

Rivers - love his game Jackson - won his battle Neal- Bullen - did his job May - lost to Greene Fritsch - our best target Spargo - pressured opposition well McDonald - tried, no reward. Jones - was steady today Sparrow - covered the ground Jetta - unlucky few times 2 Quote

praha 11,267 Posted April 4, 2021 Posted April 4, 2021 Gus mitigated a lot of the spread and pace GWS generated early. Could have gotten ugly if not for him, Langdon, Salem and Hunt early. They zoned well and stopped what was at the start a very quick moving Giants. 2 Quote
640MD 3,570 Posted April 4, 2021 Posted April 4, 2021 Interesting Joeboy. I think your a bit harsh on some, we did win easily from quarter time. But always good to see another’s views. we were not perfect but I thought our back 6 worked it out really well. They will only get better with more games together. Tomlinson is far more composed than Omac or Frost ever was. Is frosty still playing for the hawks or is he injured ? Quote

Seetrollgetttroll 89 Posted April 4, 2021 Posted April 4, 2021 Rivers had 16 disposals at 100% efficiency, 2 contested marks and 3 score involvements playing at half back and last week he had 20 disposals at 90% efficiency, 4 score involvements and another contested mark. Not sure his IQ is much of a problem at this stage, he seems to make really good decisions with the ball in hand. 6 Quote

Most of" more likely If if wasn't for Hunt stinking up his run with his kicking we'd setting loose the hounds onto Brayshaw. Only Cam Bruce could kick more up and unders but he' d perfected the helicopter Quote

Dr D, I reckon the ability to go forward and kick goals is the next part for Oliver to develop in his game, especially as he will continue to cop close attention from the opposition. It's probably the one thing that will take home from being an elite player to a superstar. 1 Quote
