monoccular

Am I too simplistic thinking that if BBB is triple teamed then there must be two un manned forwards somewhere. Why not leave him triple teamed and ignore him using the others?

There are certainly times when high contact should be penalised, particularly the coat hangar and other tackles that are crudely executed starting high. If for example the player is bending down to get the ball and gets his head pulled off no argument. But when they deliberately head charge into a dangerous situation they should be penalised for (maybe) “reckless conduct” even without prior opportunity. We must sometime protect players from their own recklessness.

The ground looked as if it had wide flanks and deep pockets (certainly compared to Taxpayer Park from the week before). Maybe the warm sunny conditions helped him too. Anyway, an exhilarating performance for Kozzie….. just hoping for many more.

I would suspect that in junior footy, even top level, there would be more walking and hanging around than we see in AFL. He has adapted and undoubtedly would adapt as a forward rôle too.

Has Tommo ever been tried as a forward? Some successful back men have naturally become forwards. He is a fairly big body and his defensive mindset could paradoxically be useful in our forward line. Just speculating.

If Lever comes up, and given Tomlinson’s very solid game in defence today, this (Petty going forward) surely isn’t out of the question. And IF Petty returns in defence then at very least Tomlinson should be the sub. When Lever went down today the thought of Dunstan as sub sent shivers down my spine. We have May, Lever and perhaps Petty carrying injuries, and if a mid or a winger went down Tommo is versatile enough to release another wing / flank to fill the mid rôle far more than Dunstan (or Bedford) would be to replace a big man.

Viney Kozzie Sparrow Langdon Hibberd Harmes

Port must be dreaming bang bang bang 😱

Maggot plucked that one out of his [censored].

Can we start a changes thread early? Melksham done very little, Bedford nothing.

Would rather bang bang bang then 100 points to 7

He was an incredible player. That is what we romanticise about.

If relevant would be uninterested And interested

Hopefully without it his mate Melksham. If we need to keep playing hiM we are shot. Laurie could not have done less. Fair dinkum do we need to bite the bullet and bring in JVR? Brown is absolutely awful, poor guy.

100 x better than Kardinia Park

Absolute bloody cheating Dixon and umpire sucked in big time.

Possibly , maybe, uninterested but not disinterested

ANB tenacious for a great team goal

Make that top 6, even 8

See what can happen if Fritters handballs and doesn’t take a blind ping.

Won’t need to bother if they keep kicking goals not behinds.

It is 23 degrees yet that moron BT talks about the sapping heat. Humidity 7, yes seven, percent. Is he at Alice or commentating from the studio?

And, yet again, no tall as the sub. We will get screwed.

Ripper of a contest in Perth. Sydney has good system going forward. Envious.

We already have a Meek - #26
