It's time Petracca was playing more time in the centre square. Allowing others into the team in the forward half. Petracca should drift forward with the play. We currently, in an ideal world, have too many one paced players running through H/F and the guts. We'll ultimately need to replace a couple with some pacier types. Weide's should not be competing with Bull, but more-so with Pedo, TMc and to a lesser degree, Hogan. Bull should be IMO competing with Petracca, ANB, Harmes, Jones, etc. And the small quick's, for a place up forward.

ah, he kicked them using someone else's boot? ☺️

Well done Trenners. If wish you every bit of good fortune for your career. A fantastic Demon trying his luck elsewhere... a True Demon at heart.

I wondered why I always liked that name, Weitering.

Bartel was talking about how we transition the ball away from winning the contest. It's not either/or, we want beasts in-under. But we need class on the fringe of the contests, to advance the ball to better positions. And his other factor, is when we are ready to kick the ball inside 50. We have to be at our most composed for this entry disposal, going in. This, (Re the fringe of the contests) is why, I want Sloane. He has the class, and can win his own possessions inside as well. Don't get me wrong, I think we need more class players, than just Sloane.

could also be a symptom of a head knock.

Of all places on the field, we have to lower eyes and be composed, prior to the F50 kick. This is why midfield marks are SO important, that we are not so pressured on entry. And we can also look for runners going by, when we have marked 80 to 100Mtrs out. But the key is, we have to be quick thinking but composed, in the mid section of the ground. It explains why Hogan has not gone so well in the past 2 weeks since

Never changes his bathwater. he believes in being efficient. plus, loves it's flavour.

so do the aged, apparently, D11... sometimes, but mostly just get impatient. and some speed , D11. We haven' got one, a genuine crumb'r, he's playing with the GCSuns, atmo. Or is that Richmond? .... take your pick, Ben Ainsworth or Jack Higgins. either or.

... haven't had a player the Ooozed for 10+ years, I would think 'Hmwy'. but ooozed Prof',,, that's a good point of difference me thinks.

We cannot afford to go into any match without respect for the opposition. That is a good recipe to lode by. Every team enters the field with 22 players, (44 arms, 44 legs, amongst them)... take them lightly at your peril. We have to play our style of game and restrict them with as much pressure as we can apply. Let the numbers Re percentage, fall where they may. They will take care of themselves IF we play our tough hard disciplined game style. .

Spot on Bdf. Not just Roosy, 'Bdf'... Barassi, Jordan, the Hawks under Alan Jeans also. Many reserve players at Hawthorn played more than 100 games in the reserves, before they started their AFL careers. Impatience is a killer of footy clubs, and of players careers:.. whether it be playing too much to young... or playing them too soon after injuries.... and not resting them when injured.... .

I agree sort of, that I don't think we're a year away from beating the 'big' teams. But we are from doing it consistently. But we do really need to tough hard speed.

Hogan as I recall, was a roaming CHF in the u-18's. The vision of him in my mind was just that, marking on the move. And I do like him also playing as a big ruck-rover on occasion, as well.

... is there some Germanic Saxon in this image ? could be a tough goodun?

not enough time. when in and out, or tired and wake fresh up next day.

tell her to stop making sense Gorg. more sense, than umpires, that bad?????

Yeah, I know that SD. I would say that the Weide just kicked the door in. Stats on disposals (stretch), on it's own,,,, isn't smashing the door in. But how he does it, goes about his game will be the key. I am a fan, but he has to be ready, and to make a difference from the start in AFL.

When you get a serious injury to a key player, and you find it hard to replace the injured player, you use the talent available to best suit needs. TMc is having greatest effect in multiple roles, in the past 12 months, and it was me that called for him to leave the defence,,,,, and go forward as a follower. So your not telling me anything, dimmy. Now because of circumstance, we may need him to return to where he once roamed, to help us out with his newfound skills, and further self-belief and maturity. We do have bit players, who can do other of his roles. But that CHB position is critical to our whole game-plan. Now you say he and Hogan are our strength at the moment but hogan is playing high up he ground and has don little deep recently. But he has starred when going on ball, ov erthe past 6 weeks. Also TMc, has starred when on the Wing, and roaming far and wide, and then pushing back hard, into our F50. So now. throw in the Weide, into your scheme. Hogan, TMc and Weide. Where do you start TMc now? And who do you play at CHB?

Yep, I see.

Yep,,, just add more composure across the centreline going forward. We have to be more mindful of our entries, Huge Hefner says .

Yes I would try him inside, in place of Tyson. Just to see what he looks like there,,, against one of the lower sides. end of year we make some big decisions and we need to look at our fringe players. now is the time to check them. Tyson hasn't shone so far. I would consider Bugg an in instead of Tyson, Lew, or Bernie?

I wonder if Frost could play that Wing role, that TMc's been playing? If he's being mobile and attacking, and taking strong marks around the ground, he could try the wing role,,, and also the 2nd ruck role, from the wing. That leaves us with the Weide and TMc. If Weide comes in to partner Hogan, then TMc would be more than adept at CHB.
