spirit of norm smith

I agree.

Sorry I had Fiorini as an outside mid. Wing. Running up and down the wing at the G. I’ll watch the next suns game more closely.

I think Joel Smith will look elsewhere. Kangas? Swap for ?? Mason Wood?? My option for a swap is young 21yo Tom Murphy. Murphy would be a good replacement as a mid size rebound defender and can assume a Hibberd style role. His skills and intensity are good. Not quite cracking a game for Kangas.

Tigers kicking skills are ELITE Tigers pressure and tackling is ELITE Tigers concentration and intensity is ELITE Not sure how someone like Goodwin could see that and not question his ability to coach and the Dees players pathetic skills.

Agree

F ARK IN ELL ROOS V DEES IN TASSIE - rescheduled to Dees v Roos in Adelaide ROOS V LIONS IN TASSIE - rescheduled to Roos v Lions at Metricon. Dees get screwed every time. Lions are absolutely favoured with AFL trying to gift them a flag !!! FFS

Clearly a stronger Crows team. They waved the white flag v Roos. Set themselves to win v Dees

I still think we will add 3 youngsters. Definitely won’t be inside mids or a young ruckman. NEED OUTSIDE MIDFIELDERS THAT CAN RUN, WITH SKILLS TO KICK THE FOOTY.

Agree. Goodwin cannot continue if we lose this. It’s a “186 point loss “ no matter how big the scenario of a loss.

Tom and Oscar can go to the Suns in exchange for Brayden Fiorini and a 3rd round pick

Bulldogs - Bont, Libba, Macrae, Dunkley, Wallis Too many inside mids!!! Wallis played forward pocket last night. Maybe they should trade the Bont!!!

Tomlinson played as a key defender for Giants in 2016-1st half 2018 seasons. Then played CHF and wing in late 2018. He is a utility. Might see him at CHB. Worth the trial. Cannot have Lever as 2nd tall. Played MUCH BETTER as 3rd tall and intercept. Goody - ??

If we lose, then 1- Goodwin should resign and acknowledge he is not capable of leading Dees to glory 2- Players will be advised to stop drinking their own bath water 3- media will enjoy the week and make Melbourne FC the laughing stock 4- Dees supporters will have another period of shame and despair 5- the holiday camp in Maroochydore will be under extreme review If we win, then... (According to the media and special commentators) it’s because the Crows are hopeless and it proves nothing until we beat a good team.

Brayshaw for Dons first round pick - selection at 10/11. Lloyd has his own agenda

McHenry or McAsey likely to kick a bag !

agree. Jackson has zero contested marks in 3 weeks. Mitch Brown probably should retire !! He deserved a roll of the dice this game.

It’s strange given CROWS PLAY THREE TALL FORWARDS - Walker, HImnelberg and Mcasey. Fogarty also to play key forward. Perhaps Tomlinson to play CHB. Strange to drop Omcd for this one !!!?!?!?!?

Agreed. Footy is a relatively simple game. Gawn needs to use his dominance much better. Hit outs to advantage is the measure ... not just hit outs.

Still can’t believe we picked Toumpas over Wines. It haunts us. And again last night to see Jackson Macrae (who is an absolute star) deliver a 28 possessions game at 85% efficiency. He was at pick 6. His under 18 year was exceptional where he showed his skill, evasiveness, goalkicking and ability to win the footy.

Surely Pert and Bartlett will get us this one. Or are they soft?

Jackson is lost as a KPF. He runs to the pockets and his marking is still requiring work. No contested marks in the last 3 weeks. His go is his athleticism and 2nd efforts. Both outstanding. More midfield like. So his position is Ruck in the mould of Brodie Grundy. Given we have Max who should play until his 33-34, I think Jackson is 3-4 years away from assuming the ruck role. My “Eagles” mate reckons they see him replacing Nic-Nat and will entice him home with a truckload of cash to get him.

Thanks Rusty. I agree the urgent need for a midfielder or two with good skills and pace. We need to try Hunt or Baker (to use their run and carry and pace) or move them on at seasons end. Love to see Rivers or Jordan play on a wing for development as their pace and skills would be handy in such a role.

Bizarre. Leon Cameron described him as a classic utility. He often referred to him “playing a role”. Full back. CHB. Wing. Ruck. CHF. The Giants 2018 end of year summary describes him as a “key defender”. He was never a full time wing player for the Giants. Never. Never for two years through 2018 and 2019. I don’t think he’s our answer for skilled fast outside midfielder.

Any advance on this ...

Exactly. We have WATCHED them. Not as an analyst from afar. This strategy analyst had no idea. Some good points but captain obvious could see those. Skills. Skills. Skills.
