POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs West Coast
Too tall for McGovern WTM and with all our horrid bombing he gets a run at the ball to at least bring it to ground crashing packs if they're playing in front or marking out the back. Pruess was a must in for tonight. BOG according to many last week against top of the ladder Essendrug. We'll agree to disagree.

I'm not talking permanently down back CB. It would have worked for tonight (after half time once it was clear he wasn't going to impact) and maybe a week or two until we get Lever/May back in the team. Tmac isn't kicking goals or clunking marks so it's either down back or he is dropped to try and find some form in the McGoos for Pruess. Petty in front of Pruess cost us the match in the end (along with some horrid disposal, simple shots at goal and usual corrupt umpiring out west). Petty was ok but wasn't the correct selection for this match. Pruess in would have helped Maxy also.

Time to review our entire forward line for 2020. At this point Hunt would be the only lock. Pruess for Petty was a poor non selection. T-Mac could have played Petty's role and was playing down back for a.short time anyway at one point. Fritsch isn't a backman's bootlace I'm not sure why we are persisting here. Time to go forward? Or dropped. Lockhart might need a spell? The FD must start playing Jones more at HF and the bench and IF we keep persisting with Tracc he slowly takes over from Jones through the mid as an inside/outside. FCS he can't kick a goal, why are we persisting with this losing set up!!!????? When will Goody wake up to the Jones/Tracc switch??????

No penetration and never kicks to the favoured side of opponent or pulls the ball to deliver in front of player. Couldn't finish a basic gimme shot running in from 20 out. Sorry but he just doesn't earn a spot other than a small amount of receive run. He also often runs lateral and rarely takes the game on. He stays for now until we can bring in better during the year and then trade. Solid VFL player when under less pressure with more time/space.

It's called turning your man or taking the tackle....he is devoid of evasive skills and confidence with ball in hand and instead always panic gives to either someone about to be set upon or out to no where in particular as soon as there's a bit of heat on. Has no assets other than staying close to his man but then rarely wins in a one on one. May's slackness has cost us in this role big time this year.

Why Pruess is not playing is beyond me... i cant see any decent reason to suggest he would not be a huge asset up forward the way we bring the ball in tonight and as an assist to Maxy rucking up forward. The more i watch the more it needs to be Pruess for Smith. I'm not saying Smith won't play some sort of role later in the match and might even kick the winner or be involved in the winning play but Pruess offers the marking/rucking ability as well as a very difficult / unusual match up that would worry the Coaster's back 6 and set the cat amongst the pigeons. Jeffy would be happier too IMO and grow another leg with Andre throwing his weight around.
