Oliver has the ability to be a serious goalkicker, and damaging as a leading forward out of the goalsquare. I remember David King calling for it last season, and he was right. I hope we see that soon, though its just about impossible to take him out of the middle as hes so good there.
Once he starts hitting the scoreboard, its game over.
Go through every team and they have at least one, some teams up to 3 legitimate small crumbing forwards playing. We dont have one, unless you count Garlett who has been out of favor a while now.
No wonder we waste so many forward 50 entries, when we dont have any smalls in there to mop up the crumbs.
it is just mindblowing to have 25 more inside 50's and lose by 80. We had the same problem last season too.
Thats what we should have worked on more than anything over the summer and it looks like we did nothing about it.
Predicted the Port and Geelong losses weeks ago, and said we would have a big win in Round 3 vs the Druggos to get things rolling.
The bad part of the season is done with. Its all sunshine from here.
That doesnt surprise me. Thought it was odd we would bring in Lockhart and KK when Hibberd and Hunt were in the side.
If Lockhart does play that role it is his to lose, we need a small forward badly. Would be nice if he could snag a few goals tonight.
Its definitely been like a bad romance for us down there. Hopefully Goodwin will bring his best poker face to the game, and avoid the paprazzi after we win.
There are a million reasons we need to get the victory tomorrow night.
