We are no 1 for tackles inside 50. Which is a great stat to have However, I don't think 2-way defensive running = pressure. And i think our two way running is still elite.

I think hunty used his speed to close down smalls now He is no longer asked run and rebound as this exposes his disposal the most, and often leaves him running into traffic

Jai Culley, another dandenong stingrays product is looking to go to West Coast Stingrays look to be producing some decent players these days

Weed is a no. 1 forward being played as a no. 2. He is not good enough to replace Brown yet, and his game/body type doesn't suit a mobile tall like TMAC. He's also stepped up multiple times this year and had some fine performances. In 4 years or so we'll be seeing weid at FF and Van Roo at CHF.

Gus on the offensive wing would be interesting

and frankly we've been doing something quite similar. A big burst and then maintaining a lead to win.

ANB said this much in a recent interview, that we are only 10-0 because of the praccy match

I'd rather be disciplined than ruthless Although i'd love to see us kick through the corridor and take more risk occasionally - but it's not our style right now

He is having an outstanding year, especially considering Petracca is a super star in his own right Comparatively Carlton and Bulldogs have only 1 superstar in their group which allows them to shine more. Although 'goal kicking mids' are the theme of the month at the moment - i'd rather Clarry's hard two way running and insane clearance/contested possession numbers instead.

Even bruising on the ribs can cause a lot of discomfort but great signs regardless

Newcombe is a jet

We can never underestimate our wins against lower ranked teams, these lower ranked teams are chomping at the bit to scalp us - as shown by the Hawks today Amazing show of heart by the Hawks

Bruest is all class

Clearly below average teams shape up decently against top sides.

IMO carltons ball use is poor They lack defensive running, but with more preseasons for their young players - this will come And their backline is leaky - weitering is a gun but i don't rate their other KPD's and i dont think their rebounders are very accountable defensively

these play on calls are abysmal

Terrible umpiring in the 2nd half But this loss is on Blakey's awful decision there

Bloods doing everything but scoring atm

Buddy still got it - what a legendary left

Sydney can't touch the ball Getting slaughtered in the midfield

These players compete at the highest level If you cant take the heat get out of the kitchen

If we gifted games - jones wouldve played in a granny Bedford is not a mid forward, Dunstan is not a mid forward, Laurie is not a mid forward Melk is - he can play a role and will make way when needed

Even if we went to the draft, the likelihood of finding a tall of his quality is very low. We are devoid for young key position/tall talent. 2 first round picks (most likely mids) =/= a high quality developing mobile ruck forward. I do believe some of our star talent leaving is inevitable at some point in future though

Myth: Weid didn't do well off the ball in the north game today Correction: Weid had 10 marks and the highest tackle count
