Would need to watch the replay re his on ball (around ground stoppage work) but from what i witnessed Tracc was better when playing forward (today) vs when being played in the middle at CBs. Thought he was ordinary at CBs. Was hoping to see more Kozzy time here vs Tracc with Tracc playing a bit more time forward. Kozzy needed the time in the middle to get him involved imv as he was pretty quiet offensively as a forward. Defensively very good as usual though. While there were some Kozzy minutes at CBs i thought there wasn't enough of them nor did we persist for long enough imho. Hoping we ramp his time in the middle up to around 15% - 20% of time (at least) as we come into finals. Dangerous prospect through here when he's on and we need an injection of speed too as a change up look.

Was at his very best today. Maysie also solid. At one stage in the third Maysie & Lever were having words about something. They were going back and forth for a fair while. Hopefully just positioning / tactical stuff and nothing more. Tomo was beaten on a few occasions but also won a few contests. A nice nullifying encounter in a 2 v 1 (possibly 3 v 1 if you count the Hawks player roving off for the crumb) at one stage late in the third which probably saved a goal. The oppo do look to move the ball quickly through Tomo's player a fair bit in an attempt to expose his lack of pace / agility as well as trying their best to get him out the back where possible.

Yes i understand the reasoning as stated... bewildering as in based on last week's 'form'. Subbed him in the last to give him the opportunity to try and impact me thinks. As in we don't just wNt you as back up for Max, we'd love to see you comtribute up forward too. Show us what you got son!

6. Lever 5. Viney 4. Melk 3. Rivers 2. Nibbler 1. Sparrow Apologies to Roohey & Gus

A bewildering call to put Schache as sub in the first place. Certainly wasn't based on last week's form at Casey. Maybe they were looking at his block of form prior to that as he was horrible last week. The only other take is they want a rucking option as back up for Max if needed and someone who can also play either end a la Smithy. Grundy being the original back up ruck option and also a chop out fpr Max early in the season. But of course most likely no longer an option so Schache was it (for Goody & the SC anyway).

Was pushing for Spargo ahead of him based on their last game at Casey A quiet first quarter but gotta say, after that i was proven completely wrong. A very very solid game, improving as the game went on. Strong over the ball, slipping tackles, a few nice HBs to players outside the inner ring to get us going forward, some good kicks i50 to the advantage of a few on the lead or just to advantage. Tackled really well. He stays in for now unless he puts in a shocker and someone has a massive game or two at Casey. He was even ahead of Chin today imho, albeit they play slightly different roles.

Lever BOG?

Chin's been a bit quiet after half time Why the hell did Lingers ignore Kozzy!!????

Nibbler been very good. Melk of course. Viney fabulous Smithy's done well

I need a couple right now

Tomo 2 v1 fantastic!

Bruest giving McVee the run around here Not liking Hunter's game much

Would rather we trialled him again much earlier than this week. Too much riding on this game to go with him over Spargo. Was ok at Casey but all round i thought Spargo was a fair way ahead on the day. The last day for experimenting was a few weeks back against North. Imstead we went with Grundy again last week ...and look how that turned out.

If it hit the padding it could only have been the back half. if the hole ball's crossed the line that doesn't count either does it? Where was the review? The Fix continues!

@ Tax Payer Park

played a fair chunk of time here at Casey Howes originally started as a winger at Casey before being pushed to HB Can see him taking this role on though no problems

Same

Did GC tank today? That's the only way not playing Collins on Curnow from the get go makes any sense.

GC coaches cost themselves that one by not starting their best defender on Curnow

Nice angry work from Casboult there

It's the Suns vs Curnow

Casboult's first mark!??

I like the Sun's endeavour and attempt to take the game on but they over use the HB a little too often for mine when a quick kick down the line might be the better option

Casboult copping a cattle prod today

Rowell trying to thread the needle to a 1 v 1 lol. Turnover. As good as he is at getting possession some of his decision making is horrid.
