Yep I would add Brown (or even Scache) in for Joel. Scache can also handle some ruck work in the middle and down forward. Not bad at ground level either. Need a KTF lead up to take the heat off JVR and let him roam closer to goal. Even if Brown or Scache played mostly as a decoy here. Moore on JVR would be a poor match up for JVR at this early stage and as much as i would love Joel to get another chance, aside from a few contests and tackles, he had very little influence/impact as a 2nd tall forward last week from what i witnessed. -
Taj is no doubt on track DS but is KB the right game for his debut? I always have nightmares with what we did to JW on his first. That's no slight on Taj but it's a huge occasion with heaps of phyiscality. Most AFL H&A games are but another 6 months or so in the gym would serve him well i feel. Aside from that i have no doubt he'll be trialled in the zippy outsider role at some point in the near future. Signs are very good since he returned from the finger prob. Just a matter of time and timing.

My take on his comment about "dialling up forward pressure" was initially along your lines of thinking DF. He did mention separate to that "smalls pressuring inside 50" which isn't rocket science for sure. However, after listenting back to it again the main point he was trying to say after his comment about 'smalls pressuring inside 50' was different to that. He was talking in terms of "forward (frontal) pressure" at the ball carrier. No retreating/racing back to defensive 50 "Keep coming forward and getting in their grill" (face). I thought his points re: Max behind the ball to assist Lever & May, Grundy going to Moore, Maxy taking over the alpha role with more time in the middle and ruck in general (vs Grundy) were worthy of consideration and may have some merit. I'm certainly not suggesting he has all the answers to what Goody should do on KB but imho it's a good opportunity to hear from someone who's coached at the highest level and been in the system for many years at various clubs. Also he has to be across about 3 to 4 games for this SEN session so he probably can't get into crazy depth vs if he was analysing one match alone.

Surely JJ is in before either SPC.... Taj coming along nicely though but might need another pre-season in the gym to withstand the rigours. I would also have Dunstan in before either of those two at this point (specifically for Clarry's role) but he probably needs a game or two at Casey to get fit.

A few sore knuckles?

Yep the build up was pretty big. Was expecting an MMA style blood bath but it was more like watching one of Big Bad Barry's attempts to enter the ring. A number of glancing blows but not many connected. The reality didn't quite hit the heights of the hype.

Errr...ummm... I of course meant to say... 'DEAR Fang the Faitour" of Flowerdale ~ gulp ~

I'm reliably informed that the person you are referring to is one of the Manor's staff dear. In this instance, Uncle's long standing stunt double, the low-born fustilugs who sometimes goes by the name of "Fang the Faitour" from Flowerdale.

Another dangerous tackle that was far from it.... my gosh. Need to nuke the entire umpiring fraternity / program and whoever's in charge of it and start again. Their interpretation and over officiating has destroyed our great game This season in particular is like a drunk's vomit that's been left to bubble & squeak overnight before a stray dog comes along the next morning and gets lucky!

What the hec was that 50 or did i miss an incursion within the protected zone by player not on the mark? ... Ump runs in and says "back here!" in a raised voice but not that loud. Usually they would say "back 1 metre" etc. But nup. Then as Swan player turns his head the first time he said "back here" wondering if he was talking to him the ump pins him for 50 in an instant.

Risky business Uncle. She'll have you on the crepe paper putting the banner together quick smart & the cricket off! ..." No Test For You !"

Skating on thin ice... or something..

That tackle was in no way dangerous. Tackled him at the hips / arms and was brought to ground. What else was he supposed to do there? May as well call time on any tackle if Buttler goes for that

Brenton Sanderson's take on KB from a Demon perspective today on SEN. Some general stuff... 👉 Limit the amount of marks the Pies take inside 50 to ten or under 👉 Try and up our pressure through the middle to assist May & Lever down back. Made more difficult if we don't have Clarry obviously. Regardless, all three smalls in Chandler, Spargo & Kozzy to help out here by playing a fair degree of time higher up the ground. I feel Sando was asking for the three smalls to play higher (no doubt at various times) and play roles through the middle in a general sense when we're defending, allowing a mid or two to fold back to add with intercept & pressure acts inside D 50. 👉 Max to play significant time behind the ball instead of usual part-time forward, adding an extra interceptor to assist Lever & May & limit the Pie's number of marks i50. His 5 Points if Sando was in Goodwin's shoes this week... 1. Win contested ball and clearance. We've only won 5 out of 12 so far. 2. Have a player responsible for Moore. Match him in the air. Take him away from as many inside 50s as possible (use Grundy as a decoy on the lead and instead go over the back to JVR & Fritta?... my suggestion), change the angles of entry wherever possible ie; don't just boot the ball in straight lines into 50 or Moore will pick them off. 3. No kicking the ball inside 50 until you get to the launch pad. The launch pad is 70 meters or less. Do not blaze away / bomb from outside the launch pad. Find a short forward mark until you are inside 70... then launch. 4. Dial up the frontal pressure. When a side plays fast off the turnover / break like the Pies it's often a natural instinct for many players to retreat and race back towards the 50 to set up your defence. With the Pies you need to have a different mind-set and meet their fast break head on, getting up into their grill. Keep coming forward in this way and bringing the heat, DO NOT retreat. 5 Get the Gawn / Grundy ruck balance right. Grundy more forward this week and possibly the best match up on Moore. Gawny playing more minutes as the main ruck.

Apart from the bit about Clarry that i didn't catch. The only point i took was that he thought Reg was probably better spending a tad time forward more so than himself with Maxy suggesting more time in the middle CB for himself? He made a point about training for goal kicking about 4 times a week and it was treated seriously with Choco lurking in the wings post match if they stuffed up lol. I was on the road plus ongoing toothache flaring at the time so don't hold me to the accuracy about reg & forward/ CBA stuff.
