I've been a staunch Howes supporter from the moment he was drafted. I personally didn't think he was the right inclusion for May this week but he had a huge job on Amiss after half time after Turner went down and thought he held up his end of the bargain. I still would like to see him being played up forward eventually as thats pretty much the reason he was so highly rated being a floating high half forward. If he does stay back, I see him turning out similar to Zac Guthrie.

Exactly. He wasn't dropped because he hasn't a 'niggle' Simple case of being out of form really and nothing else.

Sharp has to go. Once again, just adds nothing. McVee and May will come in with Turner the out. Tell you what though, i watched Ollie Sestan today and he was bloody impressive off half back. With us winning, I highly doubt he comes in next week but he'll certainly be very close over the next few weeks.

Yea absolutely. That's why i think it's harsh to be critical of our back 6 because i thought they defended really well and played their role. They did a fantastic job.

Wrong thread

First game at AFL level in 3 years.. i can absolutely excuse the first game jitters. JVR shanked an absolute certainty in the lunch time game earlier on just a fyi.

To everyone still critical of our last quarter. Some perspective please. Not only did we not have Lever and May but we then lost Turner for the 2nd half who was on par with McDonald as our best defender for the day. We then had to move Howes off Bolton onto a bigger opponent in Amiss. So we literally came into the 2nd half with 3 strong tall defenders already lost to injuries and were completely under siege due to lack of talls. Thank [censored] for McDonald but who's rated as our best tally defender this year. Howes also held up his end of the bargain i thought.

Yeah they sucked. Though, i more watch the game from a development perspective on our young guys. I liked Sestans game as well as Culley. Thought Varrell was actually good in the ruck. Sestan is very close to an AFL debut.

Concussion

Gave a good chop out and unlike JVR he actually leads forward towards the ball carrier. He gets another week for me.

Henderson didn't play today.

Give Tmac another contract please.

That was so [censored] fun to watch!! Well done Dees!

Maxy missing that goal has given them all the momentum. As a captain you had to kick that.
