4:45 Q2 Petracca hanging back off Curtain, Curtain wins the loose ball and runs away from a stationary Petracca.

When itās appears the overriding importance in Goodwinās time has been on effort based contested ball and not skills, itās a bit too late for goal kicking practice.

Feeble effort, zero inspiration. Please stamp his papers.

May Adams/McDonald Lever McVee Turner Chandler May can still win the ball but is too loose in a lock down on a good key forward. Free him up.

Perhaps the overwhelming emphasis over the last 10 years has been a blinkered attitude towards crash and bang efforts to win the Contested ball and then jam it into F50 to get a stoppage.

GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood
Considering weāre getting slaughtered by highly suspect Umpiring and also carrying the inept Van Rooyen, Fritsch and Melksham weāre doing rather well.

POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs St. Kilda
I think it is more a case of us regularly getting the ball into a very, very congested F50. No only does it make it much more difficult to get quality possessions/ shots at goal, we get burnt on the counter attack when the opposition win the ball and transition it into an open forward line. While weāre focused on just getting the ball into F50, the better clubs/coaches are happy to set us up for this eventuality. Footballs version of āRope-a-Dopeā.

I think the level of his intensity this year is on par with his entire career. And yes, it has been pathetic this year.

I respectfully say Iām staggered by your statement. IMHO itās been Van Rooyens LACK of mobility that has seen him glued to goal square and behind his opponent in all his five games this season. He hasnāt seemed interested in offering a lead and the only mobility Iāve seen from him is when he jogs to the Centre to relieve Max in the ruck after a goal. The other knock on him, IMO, is he the opposite of agile. Petty, on the other hand, whilst not quick, does get mobile and certainly isnāt stationary close to goal. Our most mobile tall forward, by the length of the Flemington straight, is Dan Turner.

Luke Jackson back to Victoria?
I noticed Jackson in the Centre square together with Darcy, who rucked, at least once v StK.

Good idea. Get Jacko to teach Van Rooyen how to lead.

Joke all you like and post silly šs. I suppose thatās all youāve got because you canāt argue with :- Fullarton 2 for 2, Van Rooyen 0 for 5 Ps. Clearly Fullarton isnāt the answer but neither is Van Rooyen the way he was playing. Unless Van Rooyen can change his ways and get mobile, particularly in leading up to the ball and giving options, I donāt think he makes it.
