Really liked Stanley's game - who is he?

Steele Picket Gawn Melks Howes Sharp Wanted to throw Lever in and about another dozen players

In the first half he and picket kept Melbourne in it, and he does a nullifying job that frees up others. Also I believe it was his sweeping handball that helped setup our first goal.

Also thought Salem's influence was important early.

What happened to our supposed speed - they are first to everything

Well Kolt and Picket ate putting in effort, but geez we really look disinterested in getting to the ball first.

So Kolt is tasked with keeping NWM quiet and aside from a few flashes (where the ball moved into our backline with no pressure and express speed) did a good job; and was even influential in the contest. --- The AFL standard must be very high!

I would have went with "I'm shipping up to Boston" by Dropkick Murphys. Expect that would really bring the crowd into it. Although most ACDC or Spiderbait songs would be great as well.

Kozzy JVR Heath Steele Kolt Howes

Also liked what Heath brought, though he wasn't against another true ruck.

Thought Mentha showed a fair bit. Clean quick hands and elusive speed in congestion.

With numbers???

Have we lost coverage

Is this available to all, or do you need to be a member?

Liv's injury really showed us up for an inside mid, putting pretty much everything on Tyla's shoulders (except when Kate was there, but she's likely to spend more time forward if Zanker goes). The perfect pickup would be Isla Wiencke, a big body midfielder, physical and a goal kicker - having a 50m penetrating kick in AFLW is also a real weapon. I know she's from GWS academy, but as yet still hasn't nominated and therefore gettable.

Forwards rely on what happens up the field, so first priority is to have ball winners in the team as without the ball; elite kicks, speed, contested marking, goal kickers, become irrelevant.

I would be elated if key forward was the main issue needing addressing (that implies we are dominant in other key areas of the ground) but my fear is the midfield. Last year Casey midfield was not putting pressure on Melbournes midfield (indicating a lack of depth) and half of them are gone anyway!!! Add to this our two best midfielders are gone and Viney is aging quickly - then there's quite a gap appearing.

It's the player managers that are the source of much of the information, and that's all about getting their player drafted or drafted higher. The more a player gets banded about the more interest is generated in them. It also puts more pressure on the club to follow through.

Who's our double ups

Maca extremely unlucky! But the wanted to reward every team, And did I see s couple of Irish names in there?

Hmmm, Miocheck, Gunston and Fritsch as the mobile marking targets With JVR in the backs (CHB) to develop along the Neitz model, or just strengthening our backs. We look immensely stronger already. and it weakens Hawthorn!

Can we grab Rampe and Gunston in the rookie draft?

McNamara Zanker Fitzsimon Gillard Wotherspoon Hanks

Who is our lock down small defender. Particularly relevant in the current style of footy where small forwards play such an important role? Could Viney or Sparrow play this role?
