And that surely gives us hope that King can turn things around. We get enough of the ball and we get the inside 50’s to be competitive, if we start playing modern footy.

Danger!

And if they do, they will win the flag. It’s amazing they can keep playing these high pressure games without incurring injuries.

I hope Viney, Oliver, Langdon and Co are watching this game and how the best sides are delivering the ball into their F50 to the advantage of their forwards! The Cats in that quarter, with their ball carriers in traffic, under pressure, were spotting up targets with 20 meter kicks. You don’t have to be a great kick to set up goals.

It’s outcome based isn’t it? Someone is concussed, someone must be guilty. That’s what happened to May.

It’s a final so there is no such thing as a dangerous tackle.

Turner forward, JVR moved back. I believe JVR was as good at CHB in his Under 18 games as he was up forward. And Turner seems a natural the few times he played forward.

We definitely need another agile small forward in addition to Kossie. We should have a crack at this guy.

And if that issue is not addressed it won’t matter who we have up forward. I don’t know why Goodwin tolerated that long bombing/hack kicking forward by the experienced old guard for so long after he said he was trying to fix the so called lack of forward connection! There should have been consequences, experienced players dropped if they continued to kick long, burning players closer and in better positions. I hope King is very strong on this glaring flaw in our game style.

I’m in, he doesn’t cost picks and we desperately need players who are natural instinctive forwards to improve our conversion rate and to mentor the younger forwards. Of course if our ball movement and delivery doesn’t improve nothing changes.

Gee don’t even try to tackle Rowell or you will give away a free.

Unlike us they have been trading and drafting very efficiently and smartly and to a plan. Picking up cheap as chips trade bargains like Ginnivan, Chol D’Ambrosia, then pay full price for Barrass and Battle to go with early picks like Watson.

Imagine if his defender(s) actually played off his back shoulder instead of 5 meters away guarding grass.

Crows making some shocking blunders. Tex might be number one culprit, burning team mates and kicking points.

All over!
