spirit of norm smith 16,679 Posted June 10, 2024 Posted June 10, 2024 Rivers was ok. Just some fine tuning. Needs to keep running and running and kicking. Forget the handballs to no one 2 Quote

Older demon 2,815 Posted June 10, 2024 Posted June 10, 2024 Laurie - Replace with Sestan Chandler - replace with Tholstrup It's about time we played some big-bodied clearance beasts instead of two undersized school boys 3 Quote

Petty - offered team nothing Sparrow should have couple weeks at Casey Lawrie can go, he’s just no good Billings & Petty can go, never again, Petty is already in Adelaide, just going through the motions at the moment, he’s a waste of space. 1 Quote
Deepfreeze 227 Posted June 10, 2024 Posted June 10, 2024 McDonald was great I thought. More then 3 words but here is another 3 word précis. WTF 5 Quote

layzie 34,528 Posted June 10, 2024 Posted June 10, 2024 Thought May was pretty poor today. Uncharacteristically a momentum killer, he constantly got sucked high up the ground leaving 1 v 2s on the last line often, the guy was totally at sea today. That mark in the 3rd where he went to play on and handball it straight into Jack Crisp a metre away was pathetic and his weak effort on Hoskin-Elliott right on the stroke of half time when we desperately needed to not concede was unforgivable. This was a very un-Steven May like performance and i'd expect him to be pretty unhappy with it too. 4 Quote

Get rid of him. Why wouldn't we turn Sparrow into a tagger? Seems the ideal body type and is ready fitness wise to do just that. Instead we are sacrificing an incredibly important player to our structure like ANB on Daicos. Edited June 10, 2024 by John Demonic 2 1 Quote

ANB is the most disciplined and unselfish player in probably the entire competition. He is the only player on our list capable of executing a heavy tag to absolute perfection. I would play Viney more as a half forward when Nibbler is in the middle, to counterbalance that defensive minded attack that we miss when ANB isn’t there. 5 Quote

At 591 metres gained, Riv was ranked #1 in todays game, most often with a running burst before a long kick! Although he faded in the last, I thought he was very good.

Jvr too. Not that he was bad yesterday. He's still getting bigger and learning his craft. Will start holding more of those grabs after his powerful run and leads to the ball. Just needs to drop and soften his hands and impact of ball and more will stick. Great leap so he plays like he's four inches taller. A future and hopefully long term star at the Mfc. Long may we hear roooooooooo. 1 Quote
Tarax Club 4,189 Posted June 11, 2024 Posted June 11, 2024 (edited) If last week was rock bottom, it’s not all doom and gloom. Points margin of loss was decreased by 41% from the previous round. joeboy - comic genius works Max Gawn - monumental in defeat Trent Rivers - endeavour lacks finesse Kysaiah Pickett - wayward [censored] genius Christian Salem - ying or yang? Caleb Windsor - kid goes alright Jacob Van Rooyen - showed some spark Bayley Fritsch - press play now Tom McDonald - centred amongst kaos Alex Neal-Bullen - Nibbler does daicos Steven May - matchup from hell Christian Petracca - gallant at Gallipoli The rest - little meaningful impact Next encounter - Clarkson smells blood?

Nice ,until you claim he's the best in the entire competition ..supporting your team doesn't require extreme hyperbole. No I don't know enough of all the other teams to say who is " better" ,but I did say his value to the team just that. He's underrated for sure 1 Quote

Team has never been the same since he did his foot in 2022 Hopefully the " coach" will leave him back where he's at his best in his sunset season(s). Tom is one injury away from the end, and it must be demoralising to be finishing up in a rubbish team like the one he spent so much time in early on. He's been admirable so far this season Quote
