leave it to deever

Lowest of lows Cwood supporters. Snuck in under my agents radar but it's time to increase the rent of my investment property full of pies Tenants.

Does N Daicos need a knee op.....they give way on him often.

When they are not too bruised from walking.

History. Phfffffff.

I couldn't agree more. As demonstrated by the failed Petty experience. But unfortunately, more a necessity. And sure Jvr needs to improve but he's still young. The finger of suspicion points squarely at Fritta first. Well and truly . And moving May fwd allows for Jvr in the ruck who after watching on Sunday is clearly our second best option. Jvr in the middle more when Max needs a break would help negate the need for May in defence.

He definitely stepped up when the 57 year premiership drought was going to be broken. His steely nerve became the personification of accuracy. His goal out the back when Max had gone up with him was an absolute ripper and still hasn't got old for me. He needs to recapture some of that gf form.

There really isn't that much of a choice period. Especially like for like. He's a very unique type of forward. He's highly skilled and plays much better in dry conditions and space. Maybe Milkshake is the closest fit. I think a few are frustrated by him just not firing a single goal on Sunday. Last year he had an iffy season. And there were times he didn't seem to lay many tackles. So I think there is room for a little criticism. It's tough for him because he's really our only player that's likely to kick 50 plus. Maybe Roo in a couple of years if he's not rucking so much. Fritta is a classic confidence player so he just needs to get a bit of form under his belt. To be fair he's in a team that hasn't always provided it's fwds with great i50 entries.

Yea forgot about those. Well actually I had hypnosis performed to erase the 200 season permanently. Blues were unlucky in both those seasons. Not because we beat them but because 94 I think they were one of the better teams and went out in straight sets. In 2000 urgghhhh, they were probably the only side close to beating Essendon.

Yep. They have that certain untoward feeling about them. Hard to describe but you just know you have to hope they lose up until the one you mentioned. In my lifetime there's been no real rivalry with us except a small window of close wins courtesy of Kozzie and some Carlton sod. But the disdain is certainly strong. With Cwood there is a long history of hatred and harm.

Just so hard to know who to support. I guess the evil me wants to see a dozen hammies and ACLs from both teams. Gotta do my baracking bit.

Windsor is just so polished. A delight to watch. And cool under pressure. No matter where he gets the ball, it's like he's seeing things slow like that scene in the Matrix.

Having so many fwds ranked as they are in Chandler, Roo, Fritta and Jeffo not great. Well I give Jeffo more points and he scored twice as many goals as the other three combined.

Apologies above for I mistakenly quoted Curnow's height being higher than Jvr. It's not. One inch differential.

I think most of the backline leadership comes from Lever. He makes the most noise. Though it's quite possible that May leads by example. He certainly displays a lot of courage much to his own detriment. He's got the battle scars to prove it. We also have Tmac down back who brings a cornucopia of guts and marshalling so we could utilise May's leadership in the forward line where it is much needed. Goody was flexible enough to trial Petty for a significant long time after its use by date. I don't think May would be that different an experiment. With Tmac, Lever and Petty firing we certainly have enough talls and muscle . As opposed to our fwd line stocks where we have a dearth of power. Fritta is highly skilled but a light weight in the pack efforts. Jvr is your classic run and leap. Although he crashes packs well. I think he will be get stronger and hold his own in the pack marking department . Jefferson...see Jvr...but no experience. That's it. Melksham is iffy. We can't afford to play Tracc there full time. Id suggest Sparrow. An out of form Fritta who is not a classic full forward and Jvr who is an athletic type CHF. We have no real big Full forward. Oh wait I forgot Disco Turner is tall enough at six fet five on the old scale but only comes in at 88 kg in the new. I'm not sure if that last stat is correct though. He looks bigger than that. l l We desperately need a big fwd in both height and weight. Charlie Curnow comes in at an inch taller than Jvr and 6 pounds more in weight. Like Curnow Jvr has a great leap. Turner not so much. More your stand and deliver type player. Jvr is as yet, not a complete certainty. His 24 season didn't continue on the same 23 trajectory. This year is a must breakout one for him and I think a lot of our success will depend on him. Alas it shouldn't be this way. Especially when we kept pulling him into the middle the poor bloke can't really establish his fwd credentials further. Something has to give. So we have four unknown commodities in our fwd line and one big time out of form and one midfielder we can't spare. #Jvr....still developing. #Disco....has shown promise. Very little senior experience. #Milkshake.... questions over his body. #Jefferson....one gamer. #Fritta....body language says it all lately. #Tracca...can't spare him and very inaccurate. I guess there is certainly on paper, a high amount of talent. Ithink it's going to happen one way or another. With Max aging we will see Jvr in the middle more and a glaring hole up fwd. Maybe Goody will go back to Petty but I think that would be a mistake. Is there any real harm in giving it a trial in a game we may have already sown up or an easy match up?

They have been. But Fritta has fallen down with this lately and Jvr a little bit as well. Disco is very good.

I think this post holds some merit. He's definitely got to be put on notice at some stage. Yes he has heaps in the bank but he really only played half of last year in good touch. I think he may have been injured which would account for the really bad look at times of seeing him just jog after opponents. He didn't seem to tackle too often either. He also goes to ground to easily and he's definitely not a wet weather specialist. But I'm not really sure we have a significant replacement. We definitely don't have anyone really sitting around that is a chance for a Coleman. To be fair to Fritta he's booted quite a few bags. Melksham would probably be the most similar like for like but I'm not sure where he is fitness/ injury wise. He's also pretty long in the tooth( whatever that really means). That's why I posted the May thread. But not many have agreed with it. Yea sure it's not ideal robbing the backline like we did with Petty. And that was a huge flop. But May is much stronger and has that core strength and we just don't have any forwards like that. Jvr may build more mass but he and Jeffo seem to be the leap and grab as opposed to the stand in the pack and hold them mold. Jvr, Petty and Fritta have always been moved out of position too easily. Although Roo does seem to be getting stronger. Fritta has always had to use his lighter frame with perfect timing the odd bump and has kicked so many out the back. He would be suitable on the wing now and then to get him into some form because he seems to be very much a confidence player. We have all be screaming for more fwds to be recruited and it's frustrating to see us rely so much on a handful of defenders. Even small fwds like Kozzie are lacking with Nibbler moving and Chandler doesn't score many anymore My kingdom for a Key 6.6 , 105 keg fwd that is accurate too. One who makes defenders nervously peep behind themselves. Fritta even seems to have even lost his accuracy. So yea It would be hard to justify him playing like he did Sunday for another month. What's going on with Disco?

How's didn't go well but I'm not sure May id a good match. If Jvr and Fritta keep playing like they did, and we use Jvr in the middle, something will have to give.

I think this a very valid point I didn't consider. Although he can be a tad predictable.😀 Cheers.

Yea agreed it was great to see Petty playing where he is so much more suited. It didn't work with Petty playing fwd so it may not work with May. Also our backline wasn't really stretched too much with the likes of Hogan not playing and the inclement weather. However people forget that May has played fwd before with the GCS. Also he is much stronger than Petty and would not get moved out of position as easily as Petty was at times. I just think it wouldn't hurt giving it a try. Thanks RbG.

Been quite a few references to this. Since Petty has shored up our backline once again and we stopped Gws from accumulating a big score, can we move May forward? Keen to do a survey. I'd be happy to give it a go if Fritta is struggling and we need Jvr in the middle more. And off to the circus.........

I think we need more key fwds.

All really very frustrating but I was extra keen to see the development of AMW this year. Shame

Thanks for that Wells 11. The team did really well without him. I imagine he would have negated Hogan. But Kozzie would have tipped the scales against Tony. g. for sure. Shame.

Your right, I'm howling down the suggestion of moving Petty back to the fwd line again. Surely that experiment is well and truly over. And very much to no avail. I agree with bringing in Disco and yea Jvr is a better ruck option. But saying Jeffo has no intensity is interesting. Go and watch some of his tackles. They were absolutely watertight. Houdini could get out of one of those. Agreed on Spargo. I'm keen to see what he can still offer. There have been a few calls to try May forward. Given your own view on the expertise of Tmac, maybe the switch of Petty for May is worth a try. May comes back for sure but who makes way for Disco? Frittas on thin ice but it's hard to drop our leading goal kicker.

It's a fair call. Spargo and Nibbler kicked 25 goals each in 21 . With Anb gone and Kp suspended it really made a difference. Sparticus has often been played out of position . He's best keeping up in a fwd pocket to pick up the crumbs from Roo smashing the packs. Chandler has shown glimpses of super skills but he's definitely not consistent. And yes Brown jnr is definitely someone to get excited about. You were right about Jeffo so I'm sure your right about pup.
