Fat Tony

I can’t see him making it due to lack of effort unfortunately. He was a passenger yesterday.

We won the clearances by 38-27, Newcombe had a quiet day and Oliver had 85% disposal efficiency. Isn’t that what really matters?

Hopefully we get a four quarter effort and some Kossie magic today.

We need another great game from Max to win this. He’s. been able to dominate Reeves, but Meek will be a tougher matchup.

Jackson is 28th in the AFL for Player Rating despite being played out of position for a huge chunk of game time. He is definitely worth the money.

Just to highlight how well Turner played, he had a player rating of 24.0 and Gawn had a rating of 24.1.

Kolt is definitely not a lock. I am a fan, but that's hyperbole. He has had player ratings of 3.9, 8.4 and -1.7 in the last three weeks. Sharp has had player ratings of 2.9, 3.5 and 5.5 in around 30% game time.

I expect Rivers to come in the midfield and Turner to play in the back 7. That said, I hope that Windsor goes into the midfield rather than Rivers because Rivers has finally found form in defence and Windsor has not quite clicked in the backline. This is the week to try Windsor in the middle or back on the wing. Petty will play as the ruck relief, but this means our forward line will be very short for 30-35% of the game. With Oliver out his week, I can also see Sparrow, Langford and Chandler being used in the midfield more. Chandler was very good in the midfield against the Roos and I am surprised we haven't tried this again.

How is Turner going? Melksham?

I hope TMac can play again next season, but I would not offer him a contract until the year is done.

I am not sure he is the best first year player in the team this season.

How was Turner going?

He is slow off the mark, which is what really counts in Australian football.

I think the one handers are all footsteps ones.
