Re: Max vs Ben
It's not about how many goals Max is kicking off his own boot, at the end of the day, it's about improving our team, overall. Where can we get the most bang for our team from our buck (pardon the pun ... at 23 he's still a buck), the most benefit for our team, anyway. CHF, CHB ... the surface of the...

Re: Max vs Ben
We've had a chance to see how our forward line functions with or without Max in it as FF.
Plus or minus Max at FF, we're kicking 9 goals.
It could mean that Max could be better utilised elsewhere (other than at FF)?
Try something different ... a bit of lateral thinking?
Start with CHF, for example?

Re: Max vs Ben
Max has the athleticism to play CHF where he might be better suited? If he has more space to move around in, he'd be harder to cover? In theory. He's doing okay at FF ... but he might do better than okay elsewhere? Even CHB ... Roberton as a pick 49 was averaging 25 possessions and was arguably our ...

Re: Side vs GWS
Our stoppage clearance numbers are actually okay.
Our centre clearance numbers only need to improve by 3 or 4 per match.
I'm looking forward to Dow in a couple of weeks.

Re: Half back our achille's heel again ...
Nic Martin B.O.G. .... Be Our Guest!
Just help yourself.
(To put Sicily's 46 and Martin's 44 possession count in context, Jack Steele as a midfielder has only ever managed to get to 38 possessions, once, over his career).
Good game plan, not.
It needs a rethink, a rejig, IMHO.

Sicily had 46 possessions record breaking possessions against us. Half back flankers love playing against us ... let's not beat around the bush. Does o...

Mackay rushed in from 5 plus metres away ... he was not realistically "in the contest." Even if he was a chance to lay a finger or fingernail on the ball is not the point ... he had no right to rush in like that and endanger someone who only had eyes for the bal It only takes 5 metres from...

Re: what happens if we win our opening two games ?
We won our opening 4 last year. We should do at least that this year. In Ross (a fit Seb) we trust. We should have too much run for Geelong and maybe even Collingwood ... if we shut down Daicos this time. I hope RTB comes up with a plan for both N.Daicos and Crisp to stop/curb/limit their run ... so...

Re: Webster appalling
That was a 10 week suspension even back then. It was an unrealistic attempt - he could have tackled, but he elected to go in full-bore when he was nowhere near the ball. The thing is he protected himself, turning his back towards Clark who only had eyes for the ball. He had time to do that!! What ha...

Re: Will Ross Continue to Play the Kids?
Lyon (and any hidden puppeteer/s) will keep erring on the side of playing the kids and giving them more game time. Wilson is certain to play opening round - he's training the house down. I include Hunter Clark in the kid category ... he averaged over 18 possessions with only 58% game time last year,...

Re: Will Keeler be the real deal??
Stewart Loewe's kicking coach, Peter Hudson, deserves a big mention. What a turnaround. Who was the senior coach back then? But, anyway, Stewart Loewe still deserves the credit. If you get DIY tips from YouTube, or google, should you be crediting them for the projects/renovations that you complete?

Re: Will Keeler be the real deal??
But the point is Lovett only has himself to blame. It's all on him.
Tremendous ability gone to waste.
At least Essendon managed to get something out of him - enough to make us interested in him.
