Bizzell

[praha 11,240]

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.

[Gorgoroth 12,955]

his last quater especially nearly won us the game

welcome back bizz, im sure you will get dropped next week just like last time

[dazzledavey36 54,946]

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

[BAMF 4,353]

he was one of our better players.

would rather cj play instead of him though.

[tess 19]

No way.

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

[Gorgoroth 12,955]

and has no idea on where to kick to or handball or run too

[fired up 77]

Give Bizz a run not just 1 week he will prove his worth.

Bizz was great, good to have him back

[NO MERGER 20]

Well done Bizz. He's back...

[BAMF 4,353]

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.

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

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

[45HG 1,539]

agree, the bizz was good. could have sworn i thought the siren would go when he took that mark in the backline

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I only saw bits and pieces of the game but I'm shocked to hear that Bizzell played well...

[diesel 420]

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.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I don't see why Bizzell and Rivers can't be in the same team together.

[davey_magik 1]

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.

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

I don't see why Bizzell and Rivers can't be in the same team together.

They aren't competing for the same position.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

They aren't competing for the same position.

A lot of people seem to think they are.

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

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.

[Nicho 1]

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

[Madness 44]

He's back in Showbiz! B)

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.

[Jaded No More 68,921]

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?!
