Key tactical issues v Geelong
Geelong are 16th in centre clearances. So much for the 'holy trinity'.

Petracca in a rut?
Still needs to get over some brain fades and tighten up his kicking. Like his kick around the body at goal when he played on from the mark. Clear rush of blood to the head. I actually think he tries to be too team focused sometimes. Has all the attributes and will grab a game by the scruff of the neck at some point...

2018 All-Australian Thread
Particularly when the narrative is that Brayshaw missed out on games (3) earlier in the season. Form has been stellar since then.

Bob was busy mowing the lawn today and couldn't make it down for the game and the other supporter, Mary, had to do some shopping. But rest assured they will be fired up come finals time....

TWO KICKS OF NOTE
Reasons to criticise? You are kidding. Getting back from the mark you learn in under 12s. Petracca continually kicks off a step and is 'forced' to kick the ball high. Pretty fundamental issue that is a cinch to fix. He has a very penetrating kick if only he would get back off the mark. His low bullets could be a devastating weapon.

IMPORTANCE OF PERCENTAGE
Yes there is but no team in the comp is as better drilled for particular situations like close finishes. They know exactly what they have to do and mostly they do it.

TWO KICKS OF NOTE
Harmes now has a real weapon - he gets the ball and like the Dangerfield's of the world he runs to get clear, all the while assessing his options. He then delivers exceptionally well. Not so long ago he, like a lot of others, would instantly dish the ball off to a stationary target. That change comes from confidence in yourself and your team mates to make position. Its a terrific development.

TWO KICKS OF NOTE
Really? Then why not keep him in the bench until the last 15mins and then release him? Petracca's kicking could be amazing but it is actually pretty poor most of the time. He gets too close to the man on the mark so often it makes me want to scream.

Match Preview and Team Selection - Round 23
It may be well balanced but they do take note of the oppositions strengths and weaknesses as well as the fact there are players with niggles and injuries. They try to pick teams that will beat the opposition so its not just a case of 'no change'.

Farewell Jesse Hogan
Context though. Ignore last year. He is playing a different game now and we have TMac up fwd. If you look at Melbourne's contested marks inthe fwd line I would hazard a guess they are miles above the past few years. Variation and unpredictability about our fwd line are possibly more valuable than a stay at home forward.

Farewell Jesse Hogan
I think that was the exception rather than the rule. I don't think he has ever been a great contested mark.
