Nascent

Adams just dumb, having a rotten game

Hawks now soccer one out of the air in the goalsquare to bring the margin back to 2 points Casey's favour

Johnson just barges through a group of players and toes through another

Matthews to Jefferson to Kentfield -> goal

Hawks give away a dumb push in the back resulting in an extra shot on goal putting us in front

Kentfield takes a strong grab 15 out and converts.

Jeffo with 2 from a nice gather and snap under pressure

Matthews having some nearly moments inside 50 with his intensity at the contest. Think he's going to be a fan favourite when he really gets going.

Looks to be playing very deep. Only the one free kick against I think.

First year hawk Schuburt has 4 goals in the first quarter. Not sure if Adams was on him the whole time but he definitely was manning him throughout that quarter.

Very impressed with Heath. Adams looks OK as an intercepting 3rd defender but really seems to struggle one on one

Jeffo taps to Johnson who soccer's it out of the air for our 2nd

Jefferson presenting and marking well. Earns a free from coping a high one. Looking our most dangerous forward so far and has 1 goal 2 now.

We've had a lot of play bit haven't been able to convert. Hendo, Heath and jeffo best for us early on

Another 2 goals and 23 disposals for Prasad. Sounds like we won't have access to him but worth keeping an eye on regardless. Corey Ah-Mu also listed in the bests again as a bottom aged player.

Yes

Fritsch officially out Laurie in. Check out this article! http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1987260

Never mind. It's official now on the mfc site. Fritsch out Laurie in

Fair point. Though I think Turner can play tall and small, Cross and Melksham are similar medium forwards types while Kentfield would play as a 3rd genuine tall instead of a hybrid. We do lose quite a bit of run in the forward half though so perhaps Laurie will be favoured (assuming Fritsch does come out).

I think Luker will come in for Fritsch. Laurie is competing with the likes of Sharp, Chandler, Latrelle and perhaps Culley, and is fighting a losing battle with his lack of pace and size. Would've loved to seen him get more games under Goodwin when he deserved a run at it. Unfortunaly for him I think it's going to be another bridesmaid year as an emergency. (Now watch me be wrong tomorrow)

The options weren't great

Da real mvp

Love your work @WheeloRatings Thought L Pickett had much better defensive pressure and your stats support that.
