Was our warrior in the backline today. Absolute fantastic game. I always knew this guy still had something in him. Fightback in the last quarter was ignited by him imo, along with Jones. Ran it out of half back wonderfully. Set up 3 goals in the last.

keep bizz for the rest of the year! his attack and marking skills are brilliant! great courage aswell

he was one of our better players.

would rather cj play instead of him though.

No way.

Cj instead of Ward IMO. Why oh why do we use Ward as our linkman when he is such a shite kick.

agreed that bizzel would be better than ward.

would rather cj ahead of both of them. and brown as well.

time to give the kid some game time so he is more experienced. unfortunately its time to look to next season. and while im not a fan of tanking, i would rather CJ had some more experience so he may be able to give us something next year.

His offensive work when we were on the fly was good.

However, had his opponent Corey Jones made us pay and not missed easy shots in 2.3 it might have been different.

He is still too loose in defense.

Better than his average.

Great game to the Bizz

strong hands

Held down the back

Made good decisions

Hope he can retain his spot in the side for the rest of the year and play some good footy

I said as much to the people I was sitting with and then was told there was 2 and a half minutes to go :(

Great game by Bizz. Courageous as ever and should stay in at least until Rivers is fit and up and playing well.

I think Clint_Bizkit is owed a few apologies.

I like the Biz in the team, he has a cool head and is a good user of the ball and is courageous and a great mark.

Would rather him over CJ, and I'd rather CJ over Ward.

A lot of people seem to think they are.

They are wrong. Rivers has taken the key CHB role in most roles. Bizz has played off a HBF.

Do you (or they) know who Bizzell played on this week?

Corey Jones.

Rivers would not be wasted on a Corey Jones.

never ever should have been dropped for all this time... been our best defender with rivers for the last 4 years.......

Biz is a gun

I'm not saying that they are competing for the same spot...

Thanks Rhino, I was wondering if someone was going to bring it up. Ward and Bizzell in the same side is a half forward's wet dream. I'm not out to bag the blokes, you need that run and drive off the half back line, you need your backmen to be brave and take risks, but there are also times they need to be accountable. I'd urge anyone going to the game next week to note his direct opponent and watch the contests carefully.

They aren't competing for the same position.

True, but you wouldn't see them in the same backline because what Bizzell can do, Rivers can do much better.

Bizzell is essentially a loose man in defence. He is the third man up, which is fine, except Rivers can both shut down his direct opponent and help out his teammates. Plus, he has pace to break the lines.

In the absence of Rivers, our best defender by an absolute mile it is quite frightening, Bizzell's inclusion is logical. However, there are so many players who could play that loose defensive role. It is probably one of the easiest positions on the ground.... as long as you don't have to be accountable for a man. Bizzell struggles to be accountable, even on an ordinary player like Jones.

We just can't afford to play Ward, Bizzell and Brown all in the same back half. If the Kangaroos kicked straight today, the backline wouldn't be getting so much praise. Apart from Carroll and Bell who are solid and accountable, the rest were loose today. I'm still trying to figure out where the Grant vs. Green match-up came from?! :wacko:

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
