Wonna is good on the lead but he still the only true natural crumbing forward on our list. Davey may end up back there in the latter stages of his career but at present I see it as close to our biggest deficiency.
I think Rivers being more mobile is debatable. Spencer with best case 80% humidity or worst case pouring rain makes no sense for mine. Wonna ahead of Jetta is disappointing and reaks of prioritising marketing over rewarding performance.
We seriously need to work on having people inside 50m to deliver to. It must have been nice for West Coast to look up knowing Le Cras would be leading at them.
LeCras would have killed Bartram. Garland was the right match up but he was beaten by a very classy player. Frawley was moved to him at the right time.
Were we at the same game? Rivers was sh1thouse. He was toweled by Kennedy early so played loose inside 50m where he dropped more marks than he took. When he took the mark he took an eternity to dispose of the ball and then kicked to a contest. People need to open their eyes.
Did I blink and miss is actually try and play the corridor.
The game today was lost when we came out onto the ground 3 minutes before the bounce.
The game was lost when Baily did not change a single thing in our set up after half time. Where was the change in forward structure? Sylvia into the middle. Where did he try anything?
It was a very poor day all round.
Your joking right? He was useless. I could look good playing in the hole and even half the time he stuffed that up. He is nothing more than a back up defender and should be treated in that fashion by going back to Casey.
I am sure it is here and I just didn't see it but starting the match day thread if that is not the case.
No change to selected sides.
Just about to go jump on the train
GO DEES
There will come a game as there did for both Jordie for us and Dustin Martin for Richmond that there body soreness will mean they need a break. Whenever that comes you give them a spell. Otherwise you pump as many games into them as we can.
Martin has shown very little when forward or in ruck. He needs to go and learn these positions at Casey. PJ is an adequate backup to Jamar. He has shown enough to act as a back up ruckman to take Roughhead and to offer a contest forward if required.
Best of luck to Danny Hughes.
Best of luck to Brad Miller in whatever career he has chosen after football.
Thanks Davey36, interesting insights into the game. You should not feel like you will get shouted down for your observations as attitude has nothing to with age.
1 highlight in how many years and how does this make him a forward. He is not up to it. A surplus of defenders does not make them a forward. Leave Warnock, Frawley and Garland alone. Rivers to Casey.
