Walsh 90+% DE, wont be that way each week, but more the mindset change
TDK best 3 disposal game I have seen in some time
I mentioned this in Walsh’s recruitment thread, but it’s worth telling again.
I was talking to a young fella just after we picked up Walsh in the draft. This young fella had played footy against Walsh. He said they tagged him to the extent that, and I quote “he would’ve been hating his life”. He said if he had been tagged like that, he would’ve given footy away.
So...In torrential rain, on a heavy ground, tagged to within an inch of his life...
Young Sam got 40 and kicked 4.
The boy was Judd like tonight. Absolutely enormous!
Plenty others went well. Plowman had a massive night. But Weitering is just a magnificent footballer. Pound for pound, the best player in the league right now.
I can’t get excited about that win though. Sure, a win is a win, and you take it. Nice come back from seven goals down. But...
Seven goals down.
Yep ,I agree , I'd love to see him drilling 40 _50 metre bullets. But good to see him getting some ball.I liked that he accumulated and all of the intercept possessions. Missed my votes because he chipped everything around, even inside the attacking 50. Averaged about 12 metres gained per disposal and that was with 18 kicks in his 22 disposals. Needs to take it on a bit more.
It should be a 50 metre penalty on top of the free!How good was Willo's one handed pick up in the 3rd quarter and his burst away, he ended up getting tripped, but geez he was off.
Our press was high which allowed the defenders to work through the middle.Serious question - was anyone able to determine what changed structurally to allow SPS more midfield time???
so chicken dinner that.........Well what pleasure this job turned out to be.

Unclear period with about 10 mins to go in second Q. Papley moved higher up and being manned by SPS, gets a few inconsequential touches, and produces one unstoppable rove off a contest and kicks a point. Not SPS' fault - great play from Papley. Papley starts in middle at next centre bounce. Couldn't see who Plowman was manning, ball mainly in Blues attack.
Plowman with a 'professional' holding free on Papley at Swans HF after Papley got out the back on a fast break from Swans.
Winner: Papley.

Missed the first 2 mins as I was getting a beer and complaining about our goalkicking on the gameday thread.

Wash up: 10 disposals each, Papley with one point (kicked when not on Plowman). Blues win. However Plowman still arguably responsible for climate change, COVID-19, The Masked Singer, and Barista Bros iced coffee.
TDK had 12 and smoked both Aliir Aliir and Sinclair, singlehandedly - they had 12 between them.Walsh 90+% DE, wont be that way each week, but more the mindset change

I nominate WALSH to captain the Mars project after his career is over ... him and 20 of the finest female of our species. The Mars colony only needs his males genes. Guy is a mans man! At bloody 20!Also had 20 kicks with a disposal eff of 82%
This club will be the death of me.
I’ve been SPS’ harshest critic this year but that was clearly his best game of the year. That’s the player he can be.
Plowman - exceptional.
Walsh. This guy astonishes me.
TDK. Will develop in to a finer ruckman than Grundy. The kid is something special.

Setters too. Took out a bloke when he marked. Led with the hands and polaxed the bloke in the marking contest. I was like yesssssss finally!!
Serious question - was anyone able to determine what changed structurally to allow SPS more midfield time???

thought he was a little audacious on abc radio after the game suggesting taylor's free kick didn't look much like a free kick......what do I know........Big credit to Docherty today. I thought he steppped up massively and was back to his best in the 3rd and 4th quarters.
You need guys like Cottrell in the team - he’d been quite awful, but just to have that whatever it is... it makes the team better
