DeeSpencer 26,667 Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 Out: Salem, T Mc In: Hibberd, Lever FB: Smith May Hibberd HB: Bowey Tommo Lever C; Langdon Petracca Brayshaw HF: Harmes Brown ANB FF: Pickett Fritsch Spargo Foll: Gawn Oliver Viney Int: Hunt, Harmes, Sparrow, Jordon S: Bedford My guess is Lever doesn’t get up, Tom starts forward and Gus back. But if Lever is right to go I just don’t see our forward line being better with an extra tall. We’re better with the extra midfield rotation and using bigger mids and rucks for forward line height

It’s not a tear that needs to heal. The tear actually ‘releases’ the painful area of the plantar fascia (big sheet of connective tissue on the sole of the foot) and given it settles over a few days, away you go. As has been mentioned, it’s a good thing. 16 5

Kozzie put a beautiful block on the defender to create enough space for langers to balance and kick. Smart, disciplined and team focused. How many small forwards in the AFL would do that rather than attack the ball and try to score himself (which he would have well been within his rights to do). Similar to the block that set up trac's dribble goal in the GF. Doesn't get a score assist or score involvement. Perhaps a one per center, but no other stat for that play. But I'll bet a million dollars the coaching staff count those pressure acts and that they are one of kozzies kpis. Edited March 16, 2022 by binman 29

Kozzie, rivers, bowey, jordon and Sparrow are all really young, so you'd think a short preseason would take its toll. More than for older blokes with 6,7 8 preseasons to fall back on. 2

Gawn looked beyond buggered in the last. I think we won’t be at our best for another 4-5 weeks. 3

Other than the dodgy Weightman free kick he conceded, he was really good and needs 10 to 15 games of continuity to show what he is made of. He may become a really good versatile defender. Agree with all you have said , But I will go to the grave maintaining...... THAT HE IS A FORWARD!! I rated him EXCELLENT TONIGHT! 1
dee-tox 4,835 Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) Gold Coast seem a very quick team. You may not need to go too tall in the backline although with Rivers, Salem and Hibberd under a cloud we may not have a choice, unless we want to give Laurie a try. Edited March 16, 2022 by dee-tox
Ollie fan 3,671 Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 Don’t see Lever coming in just yet - but we’ll see - but otherwise why change the backline? Including TMac there? They conceded 3 goals after half time to one of the best attacking teams in the comp. But I am a doubter about Jordon - tries hard, yes, but a strictly average player and worse: he is a slow thinker. For me Out Salem, Jordon In Bedford and either Weed or Majak

Mentioned by the commentary team (might have even been Daisy) that the players getting so around him after his goal was likely because it was reward for all those selfless things he does. 2 1

chook fowler 19,762 Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 Jordon was very good - can’t see him being dropped. 4
sisso 2,621 Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 In: Hibbo Out: Salem probably not worth risking Lever for a trip to the Coast

DEE fence 5,051 Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 Bedford for Hibberd Smith stays, his best game. Don't rush Lever, Tmac back and Weid gets a go. Not sure re Hunt, would swap for Rivers on balance. 1
Ted Lasso 19,586 Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 You'd imagine that Lever, Rivers and Hibbo would come back in, which is a good boost. in terms of who goes out, probably Bedford, Hunt, Tommlinson? I didn't mind Tom McDonald down back again, i thought he was quite solid. might be something we have a look at over time. 1

Was he playing a lock down role on Weightman? I wonder whether if they'll leave Tmac down back until Lever is right? Could that mean Weideman comes in to support Ben Brown? 3
