Interesting first half. The conditions don't suit forwards today, but having watched the first half pretty closely the pick out of the forwards has been Joel Smith. His work rate has been impressive.

The knee injury has really taken a toll on his. It's effecting turning circle and power to push off contest. And I agree with you, right now he's not suited to the wing role. His awareness and reaction timing is off and he isn't able to provide the run like he did in the first half of the year. It's too late now to make this move which I'm annoyed about, but I would have given Jake Bowey a go when Jordon hurt his knee. Bowey played all his junior footy as a natural wingman/half forward and he's someone who is so composed with the footy but also adds speed and creativity on the outside.

This one?

Don't remind me..

I presume he was spending time up forward?

55k I'm pretty sure

Kudos to them. They battled really well and certainly had the upper hand especially in the 2nd half. They had a pretty banged up Pittonet and Silvagni as their rucks who competed well.

Just on May, and a bit off topic, but how good is McKay? His overhead work is elite and work rate off the ball as well as his defensive pressure for such a big guy. What we'd kill for a key forward like Harry McKay..

Unfortunately not sure we're going to be changing much, if any, the formula we've had all year, especially with 1 game left before finals. I mean one example was Carlton were missing half of their midfield brigade and yet we still lose the general and centre clearance. We should have smashed them in this area of the game. On reflection, we got out of jail, but lets not kid ourselves there is still some pressing concerns moving forward with our overall structure and system.

Yep. He was good for them.

Makes sense why he was giving it to Newnes? After that goal.

In: Harmes, Bowey Out: Sparrow, Spargo.

Yeah nah, can't recall ever calling him a crab. There have been times where he's frustrated the [censored] out of me with his game style and still does. His rugby league style football in getting the footy and trying to take on 10 blokes was costing us momentum in games and coughing up the footy to the opposition by getting pinged with the ball. He had to take this [censored] out of his game quick smart because it wasn't doing the team any good. He has moments of this still, but it's a lot more limited now which is probably why he's finally having career best form. Fail to recognise when I'm wrong? Bro I'm the only one in here who puts their hand up when I get it wrong.. I could easily call out others for being wrong and not admitting it but what's the point in that.

Come off it Nash. Half this site was smashing Melksham few weeks ago. You going to call them as well or just lay under the doona's as usual.

I legitimately have no idea what you're on about. This is the first time I've seen anything from you. What's the Viney comment?

Hamish McLaughlin just openly admitted that he was barracking for us to kick a point so that it guaranteed Carlton a spot in the finals. Hey Hamish, how about you and Gil [censored] off to an island and never return.

Jayden Hunt played I think one of the best quarter of his career. He was immense.

Egg on my face right now. Put my hand up and openly admit I got it wrong with the Melksham selection. I've bashed him hard this year but the last few weeks he's completely changed his game to the point where he's important member. Sorry Melky, you were [censored] unreal tonight.

Sweet.. great free kick against Gawn.

Good god we're awful. Half their solid on ballers are out and we're still getting spanked around the ball. So [censored] predictable

Been calling for a number of weeks for Spargo to be dropped. He's directly just cost us 2 goals from just been completely [censored] poor around the contests.

We're joke.

That was weak as [censored] Spargo. Got pushed aside way too easily.

The 1 key forward set up simply doesn't work. Why we have continued to run with this set up is mind boggling.
