Re: RoMa in the ruck

Thank you so much Loris ❤️❤️ Objective assessment, not the rose-coloured glasses. I am certain Roma is told to hack it fwd. We don't have Gawn-Tracc/Oliver, Luke Jackson- Brayshaw/Serong, Lions ruck- Neale etc There's little connection from Ruck to aggressive ball-winning mid. Until Windy develops ...

Re: Good kicks taking short kicks

Going back a generation, a side had a full back who could distance They also had a competition class ruckman The tactic was to let the ruck run to a back pocket with no pressure, the kick out short to him then man up the full back Worked a treat - every time we played them Ditto the way opposition ...

Re: RoMa in the ruck

SEN has just put out a story ( a coupla hours ago ) about RoMa's influence, saying his numbers look good but make him look better than they should, and are misleading. Hey, listen, I don't work for SEN, I actually live in Perth. I wonder if they get on here and Bigfooty, read our stuff to get ideas....

Re: Good kicks taking short kicks

I'm always bemused by the way we take so long to bring the ball in from a kick out, often just to kick it 15m. Yet our opponents almost always bring it straight in, often with kicks of 30-50m. Watched a game a few days ago, the kick-in went a long way towards the wing to 2 guys who were well in the...

Re: Good kicks taking short kicks

💯💯💯 I will draw the ire of fanbois, but WILKIE. Little dinky 25m kicks to a guy. 17 other clubs will send it 45m away at least, to a guy on his own. Wilkie does the 'safe' predictable thing and 17 clubs know this and set up easily. Reminds me of Geary sitting 25m away from goal square getting a chea...

Re: Are happy with Euro-Yuroke name change

There is value in a name. Brand is everything. That is why the big names don't cheapen themselves for cheap gimmiics. Go woke go broke. The purple hair they/thems applaud the decision.

Re: RoMa in the ruck

A couple on here suggest Roma is instructed to try to grab pill out of the ruck and kick. I agree, and think it's because our midfield doesn't have the class/skill/talent of Port, Sydney, Lions, Dees, Blues, Pies, etc. We have to stop the oppo mids roving to Roma- take em out of the equation.

RoMa in the ruck

The big guy is great at taking the Sherrin outta the ruck contest, and hacking it forward. It adds to his disposal tally, his coaches' votes, and his AF points. BUT WHAT does it do for the team? The kicks are like Seb's blind kicks to nobody. What good are they? His ruck play isn't like Luke Jackson...

Re: MRO Findings

AFL site says Max's sling tackle on Alex Pearce (free kick) wasn't quoted in the MRO report.
JWeb not quoted either.

Supporters like this are imo part of the problem. Good clubs don't lynch their own at the first speedbump in a process.

Suns are torching Cats. 52 point lead in the 3rd qtr. Happy for Long. Suns are playing fast, daring, exciting footy. Long must be loving it, being away from our disgrace of a 'club'.
