New Role for Harmes
I'm talking about the wing. I wouldn't have Oliver, Petracca, Gus or Viney playing wing, but I'd have Harmes.

New Role for Harmes
That is incredibly sad. He was an absolute jet playing midfield and forward. He needs to go forward as a pressure and marking forward alongside Viney. I'd give him some wing minutes in bursts too. I know he played some half back when he first started, but stop playing him behind the ball when we know what he can do from midfield and resting forward. Absolute waste.

CHANGES: Rd 11 vs North Melbourne
It'll be interesting to see. It certainly applies to our ability to score, but that's because IMV he gets in the way if Weideman and Jackson. Who's North's Weideman and Jackson combo?

Salem & Dinky kicks
Fair enough. I thought he struggled to find the ball until he moved back behind it. But we'll see.

And play him where? At half forward or on a wing? I don't see it. He's not great above his head. I agree that his dinky kicks might be okay going inside 50, but I think getting it in his hands is the harder part across half forward.

Interesting no Brown for them, so it'll be intriguing to see whether they'll be able to kick a score.

Woo-who Mystery Man
The thing about bottle episodes is they're often divisive. People either love them or hate them. I have a bunch of friends that hate that ep of Seinfeld and hate the Breaking Bad episode of the 'Fly' (another bottle).

Woo-who Mystery Man
Yup, 'The Suitcase' is a bottle. Breaking Bad had some incredible bottle episodes and many of its early episodes verged on bottles, because of the lower AMC budgets, but as the show went on, it got more expansive. One of the best bottle episodes ever written IMO is an episode of Homicide: Life On The Street, titled 'Three Men and Adena'. Fontana is a bloody brilliant writer, who created and wrote Oz too. He won an Emmy for this episode that was also directed by New Zealand director Martin Campbell, better known for directing Edge of Darkness in the 80s, GoldenEye and Casino Royale. It's an episode where the detectives interrogate a suspect for the entire episode. If you get some time, it's totally worth it. Genius.

I've done a bunch of Googling and they still say he's unidentified.

The term is a bottle episode. Some of the best episodes ever written were bottles.

Haha, I think of the Woo Hoo Mystery man as the same guy as the Oh Ho Ho Mystery man.

Luke Jackson's chances of winning the rising star? * nominated Round 10 *
I don't think he'll get one this week.

I'm not going to be able to interpret this without a best 22.

What has happened to Clayton Oliver?
Absolutely. He could be an A+ grader, but that'll come. He's 23 years old, as you say.

The Need for Outside Midfielders
I'll stick with my opinion that we have the cattle now in the midfield to tear teams apart on the inside and the outside. Langdon's running power is really important to our midfield, but Gus, Oliver and Petracca can call play inside/outside as well.

What has happened to Clayton Oliver?
I reckon there are a few on here that need to acknowledge this as well. Yeah, great, he can improve areas of his game, like all players can, but the guy is still putting together a very, very good season.

Angus Brayshaw
Disagree with this mate. He hasn't been getting the ball. That's why he's been a big detractor. He needs to play in the guts, because his influence is as great as Oliver or Petracca when he's in there.

But ironically, I'd say our defence is playing together as a unit in a much more solid way (see the scores against for the year as an example - leave out Port) than our mids are. This is the problem with our set up. Our biggest weapon, in our midfield, is not playing as a cohesive enough unit, otherwise IMV we'd be near the top of the ladder, given so much of our attack goes through the midfield.

Salem & Dinky kicks
I think he needs to take the game on more with his kicking. Because he has the kicking ability, I'd much prefer him turning it over occasionally, if he was making us better with his kicking in an attacking way. Using angles and looking for the corridor wherever possible should be the go. Gus' kick into the middle of the ground to Jones last night was a perfect example of an attacking kick and we so often score when we attack the corridor as a team. He's not wasted in the backline, because I don't think he's a natural ballwinner and he's not a good enough tackler (at least at the moment) to play in the midfield, but we/he is wasting his kicking attributes by not seeking to be penetrative enough.

Woo-who Mystery Man
As for Woo Who Mystery Man, still my favourite Woo Who came when Clarry goaled from that snap in the pocket a few years back (2017?). So good.
