Jamarra out, is great for us.
He's potentially a 3-4 goal guy, and can set up others.

We hold the AFL to a higher standard than they do themselves.

Broadcasters prob told them to find wriggle room to get Charlie off

My changes would be
In: Jones (not as sub), Garcia to bench
Outs: Butler, Sharman (Cooper was good in the Pies game but otherwise ineffective)

It means we lose height but Sharman wasn't giving much presence in the air anyway

Geez...
I would've dropped Butler before Jones.

Only 2 games, small sample size, but
Avg disp 8.5
Turnovers 3.0

His cheeky goal was a silly party trick that worked, but no other team will let him do that again

I'll add to my comments by saying his value in dropping back to take saving marks, which he could be relied upon to do when needed, is still there, but he is being negated by being a bit shorter than most oppo mids who are at least 6-10 cm taller. I still have him as best 23, but eventually he'll be...

Skunk is now one of those guys who has lost too much skill and touch.
Up until the covid era, he could be relied on to have very good games at the rate of 5-6 decent games per 10 games.
His clean touch and skill are gone for good

RTB would be worried about the post match presser, when our PR team warns him he'll get probed by reporters

I don't know how to attach a link... Prior to the game, RTB was talking about Collard. 'I love Lance so much, I let him have my car for 2 months' 😳 RTB recently lost too many demerit points over a 3 yr period so licence suspended for 2 mths. ''He got it cleaned, left it with a full tank" lol J...

VERSUS

'Versing' isn't a damn word

It's NOT a game I'll watch again, anytime soon, if ever. A lot of it was rugby union scrums. In a few weeks, 17 teams will work out how to beat our -'scrum' tactic, and we'll get monstered unless we can reinvent our clearance work and be more fluid and free-flowing. Until we find a Lachy Neale and A...

We won the clearances, even though Nankervis is a heaps better tap ruckman than Marshall. Nobody will agree with me, but I thought Jones played a part in that result. He stood his ground in stoppages and made it hard for the Tigers to get the ball out. Yes, he stuffed up in other respects, but he m...

Sportsbet gives us $1.32 or something, Tigers longer odds. Weird.
But if you believe tipsters have any influence on 23 young blokes, I worry for your sanity

Tigers marked out the dimensions of Norwood Oval, on Punt Rd Oval during training, so they could get used to the ground size.

RTB said that's OTT and obsessive.
He said we could play on asphalt or gravel, he doesn't care.

I thought it was a good idea, we should have tried that too.

Anyway

Then delivered a nice kick to a 2 on 1 in Dees favour.
That last one he does 2-3 times a game.

I thought they didn't have skin in the game though

Sharman is slow for a mid size Can take the odd catch and kicks it pretty well Poor at ground level and defensively He is very much a kick - mark player That’d be alright if he was as big at Hawkins, Lynch or Lewis At 193-90 He needs to be as agile as Gunston or Fritch Very overrated, puts in a hal...

I checked the last game vs Tigers for stats.
To see which Tiger got the most possies.
Tim Taranto- 38 touches. AF points- 147

Will RTB let the guy go unchallenged or will he hard tag

After we let Ryder go, the club's coaches (and they've changed obv in the meantime) didn't care (seemingly) about our glaring ruck situation. They seemed to think Roma can do it and get a half-cocked chopout from anybody over 190 cms... That's NOT good enough, for me. Salary cap is a delicate balanc...

Bonner's 17 turnoivers is apparently the worst recorded by a player since 2012. Weirdly, the club sold him to us as a precision kick. If Brad Scott's plan was to stifle Nas and free up Bonner to turn the ball over, he knows moire about Bonner than the Saints brains trust does. I noticed him take se...
