Pennant St Dee

Sparrow plays the defensive midfield role and his two way running is very important to our structure. He’s not getting dropped the same way those for several seasons ago wanted Nibbler dropped. If stats are low it doesn’t mean a player is no good

I don’t think he did anything wrong, but I think Goody will go with Petty who has been on the improve and is a stronger contested mark IMO. He’ll take the main tall defender McKay. Tough at AFL level but I think that’s the call Goodwin will make, or with the Essendon forward line he may throw one of them down back, which IMO would be a mistake given the way we moved the footy today

I don’t think Gawn would have come off if it was close, I actually think it was precautionary, a knock which could be strapped and fought through but the beauty of the lead

He’ll take Turners spot I would think

Iced the ankle, didn’t look to distraught, would think with 6 day turn around precaution. Wouldn’t be surprised to see crutches/moon boot for a few days and light week for him

Joe Fonti debuting for GWS on the weekend, the kid has serious pace

Play a smaller mobile forward line and go in lower they rebounded far to easily last time with no forward pressure

I have also heard some parents of younger players not happy with a few things, which have occurred since the end of last season. Nothing terminal but a few things need to be sorted out moving forward

Trappers 2nd and 3rd quarters in the Semi Finals vs Adelaide in 2002 were something else

Nailed it

Go to training which from training reports you do and have a chat with Fritta, man to man call him hairstyle, speak to Goody tell him he has no idea and that Jeffo at the weight he is should be playing and taking the #1 defender up the ground like Petty is. Tell him Fritta at 14cm shorter nullifying Andrews was a dumb move Stop being a keyboard warrior and actually man up

We have a lot of young and inexperienced players when the pressure rises many go into their shells and play the safe option. They stop taking risks

He may have panicked but at normal speed it isn’t easy Danniher is upright he baulks and Danniher doesn’t move. He steps to his right as the handball to Lever isn’t on, Danniher lunges at him and it looks like the ball is in his right hand, pretty difficult handball. But at the end of the day many things shape the result not just Nibbler

I’ll watch it tomorrow and take your word for it but not how I remember it

Salem will come in probably for Tomlinson although the defence were good tonight, Brown likely to go back to the VFL Petty rolled an ankle should get up

I think he made a lot of it tbh,

Remember you said last week you were taking a break, heed your own advice

No he wasn’t that photo is after the event Nibbler rolled over from his front Danniher was upright when Nibbler baulked

It’s more than that the game has evolved a little the role of a forward is Lead up hard to the footy run deep to the square when the other tall leaves that area and potentially block their direct opponent on the way through to give your team mate the space they need stop your opponent from being able to rebound freely from D50 Press up on your opponent and prevent easy transition Lead out wide or high up the ground to take the intercept defender away from the hotspot as teams did to May when Lever was out Smalls get front and centre to win the ground ball or apply a tackle to lock it in Get separation from your opponent and/or create 1v 1s in your F50

They were behind Brisbane players and one of them was Daniher he baulked but they corralled him well didn’t over commit. Throughout the game it’s the small things not just that moment

No I don’t blame the umpire it was blatant deliberate. Although they could have squared up for the poor deliberate OOB call on Rivers in the second (only joking)

Cmon he wasn’t tripped, he dived. Could see he had no options forward and didn’t want to turn it over, In hindsight if he wanted the boundary handball it of the Lions leg
