  1. Didn't people say that for most of 2021 too?
  2. Take the 4 points a run. Not a good looking game, this is twice now we have had talls hurting us and Petty is up forward doing nothing. Think we have to bring Brown in. And go back to our 3 talls in defence. I'm not sure why we're not. And why Petty wasn't moved to Casboult or Chol is beyond me. Was always a danger game to me and we got the 4 points so get on the plane back to Melb!
  3. Oliver went at 79% efficiency tonight
  4. doesn't sound like great prep does it. Hopefully he is ok, poor fella as soon as he gets a chance
  5. I did see that, i just think he has been pretty banged up so give him another week. they will know where he is at. Apparently Schache had his hand in a brace today at training so there might be a forced change
  6. Big Danger game, Jump them early like we did against NM. No change unless someone has a niggle. Give Petty a rest and Spargo a run in the VFL for a week. they are both in our B22 i think but petty could do with a rest and unfortunately Spargo just has to go and wait his turn now. Danger players are: Lukosius - Smooth link up player that can catch defenders off goard with his 60m pin point passes, Tall and athletic too, hard match up - Lever would be the right player but Lukosius does go up the ground a lot which lever wont want to follow him. Maybe Rivers. Witts - Just a good hard ruck, hopefully our two can outwork him around the ground Weller - Good running def, think Hibbo is the man for this Anderson - He is class, maybe get Viney to go head to head with him. But our Midfield should get the choccies.
  7. Yeh very sad for him, he is great talent and woukd be good in any contending side. West Coast will be very hot after this kid I think. And probably Freo too given their fwd problems
  8. 6 - Viney 5 - Gawn 4 - Chandler 3 - Oliver 2 - Langdon 1 - Petracca
  9. Good win, sometimes you need to grind it out. I usually hate umpire bashing because I try take my Red and Blue glasses off but it is hard. But after scrolling through twitter I wasn't alone in thinking it was horrible and sided with Rich. Still some stuff to work out, Petty up fwd is done, only an in game move now. Our back flankers and pockets need to sort out who is going for the tackle or smother, they and May are all sitting back to get the easy kick. Gawn/Grundy can get back to it And Ben Brown is needed to start in that side, can be subbed if not affecting the game, but with Gawn and Grundy he is a threat. More than Melksham anyways
  10. Very concerning the amount of marks taken 40 out directly in front. Was the defence totally out of sorts. Also we need to practice hanballing more, to often we are making easy handballs hit the deck or handballing to someone that is "hot". Has been consistent since rd 2. Only a few that get a pass mark from today, which means the team was off, but that is twice now. This can't become a reoccurring issue!
  11. Out: Spargo (concussion), Tommo, T-Mac, Melk(Sub) In: Lever, JJ, BBB, Gawn Gawn only if he is 100%, and if not I think we have to consider Schache to chop out Grundy. Sparrow on high notice. Melksham never to be in the starting line up again please!
  12. So Max Gawn doesn't come back in. Or Salem? If there is a better option you use it
  13. That game was a hard watch. But did what we needed and the overpower the Eagles. I think Petty showed that although he was drafted as a forward, he has lost all forward craft. He has no leading patterns and looks uncomfortable being in front in marking contests, fine to swing fwd in games but I don't thing we can play him as a permanent forward. Agree or should we persist with him?
  14. As soon as he did that i thought the same thing, hopefully its just a fine. I don't wan't to sound as if we have chalked up the win but dont fly BB to WA, not needed so only change for me is: IN: Kossie Out: Brown I also think Sparrow might have to lift his game a bit, i know he is playing his part but Brayshaw, JJ, Pickett and Rivers can also play that part.
  15. One quarter. Keep it going, don't back off
  16. Rivers running with Mills, like it alot!
  17. Looks like it!
  18. I have a feeling the T-Mac "omission" is actually an injury or rest. The last quarter of the game last week he had a noticeable limp. I am worried about the work load JVR is going to have in his first game. and also how big Grundy's tank is atm, i have no worries that Grundy can't dominate his opponent but can he go for 80 - 85% of the game? Very intrigued with how this plays out, and hopefully out coaching staff have a good plan.
  19. Didn't he keep Cameron to 2 Goals? Is easily AFL standard and has played his role well as an undersized def v Dogs and then on the best small fwd in the game v Bris
  20. Not sure about copying. But Port Adel Magpies were established before Collingwood. So if anyone stole it, it was actually Collingwood
  21. i find this rather amusing this has come up again before round 3.
  22. It would become the Norwood v Port game, are the two most successful clubs in the SANFL and a long rivalry. Port hate Norwood as they backed out of joining the VFL in the mid 80's which meant they missed out and the crows were formed in 89 Had of it gone the way the VFL wanted Port and Norwood would have entered the VFL, meaning the Crows would have never existed. If only we had that world!
  23. I am a huge Norwood Reglegs fan, we were originally meant to be in the AFL along side Port before the Crows were even thought of! This will never happen and i'm glad it wont as it be big decision as to who i follow. As for the guernsey and Logo, they are different, be the same as Geel and NM really. Norwood just have a navy blue guernsey with red trimming, and they are the Redlegs not the Demons. would be interesting on the song though, Norwood's is different but thats the second verse.
  24. If we lost JJ and Rivers to free up $$ for Kossie then id be fine with them looking elsewhere. Ideally i want to keep all of them, but Kossie is the only one that can't be replaced like for like. I love Rivers but he is playing a position we have a plethora of players that can fill there, from a list management point of view we would be crazy to not look at any good offers for him!
  25. Those numbers are his CBAs for the last 6 games. He also had 27, 29, 32 and 38 disposals in those games. He was 100% in the middle for the last 6 games. It started against Freo when he lined up on his brother Agree I like him behind the ball after the CBA but starting in the midfield, and now even more so with the Gawn injury!
