Only every single game plus most VFL games.
well so did i. my summation is that you clearly did notice him playing in a number of positions with high success given our injuries. perhaps a trip to specsavers is something you should consider

Rubbish.
Picks the ball up quicker off the deck than half our team.
Talking out of your ass
Re-watch Tom Brown's goal from last week, needed Faull to pick up and dish off what he couldn't.

Sure it's one example, but I'm not going to prosecute this case further - agree to disagree.

Either way, would be unlikely for Lynch to continue beyond this year

have to agree, lynchs ball handling has been pretty poor, struggling to take a clean ground ball atm. dont think its to do with him bending over and picking it up though hes super fumbly even at chest height. still finding that touch.
 
Swap him with Faull. Faull needs the confidence boost of playing well at the lower level. Hasn't solidified his spot so Lefau should get another crack to build on last year's form. Would love to see him and Lynch roughing up a few defenders together.

agree, its great getting games into youngsters but there's no shame in dropping them back to work on their craft. most forwards are confidence players and these guys will be sapped of it playing on seasoned afl defenders every week. let them go back and kick some goals and build some form.
 
Video Analysis | KPF Forward pressure

Mykelti Lefau MUST come in and MUST play as our deepest Key forward to close off exits, this video shows why.

Note: Small forward pressure is separate to this concern and not in place of.

That is an absolutely excellent video, well done. Perfectly explained as well. 👍

Hopefully this also helps some of our supporters understand what a player can do by applying pressure and tackling without touching the ball or kicking a goal.

I also agree now is the right time to bring Lefau into the AFL team. He is an AFL level footballer who is ideally suited to the modern game.

Appreciate it!

It’s stood out for a little while but that clip just conveys it well.

The uncontested differential and ease at which opposition move the ball against us will decrease if we can execute this.

There are probably a few layers to getting your forward pressure right:

1. Personnel - Lefau would be a great help in this regard for the reasons you gave,

2. The forwards getting continuity as a group - this forward line has played very few games together, over time they will get a better understanding of where one chases the ball carrier the other blocks the exits etc.

3. Maturity - We are compelled to play some of our first year players at present, but as they mature and build their tanks, there should be a big increase in forward pressure from them.

Jayden short has been out a decent time with a calf issue … I wonder how long lefau will be out for?
 
I missed what happened, but when I heard he was playing in the ruck coming back from an ACL, I wonder who the **** is making these decisions.

He has been back playing VFL for a month after 12 months of recovery....
His ACL isnt the problem.
He is a 100kg athlete in his late 20's. Soft tissue injuries happen.

You're comparing VFL to AFL to start with.

I understand soft tissues happen, so you've basically rebutted yourself – why would you put someone more prone to soft tissue injuries in the ruck coming off an ACL? The ACL (in isolation) mightn't be a problem, but like with any injury, theres compensation taking place by other muscles.
 
Lefau Is yet another victim of the Serpents abnormal unproven experimental running and conditioning drills

Tom Hafey never had these issues with his players when he had em running up and down sand dunes.

So far 2 of the returning acl's have both sustained medium and long term injuries. So serpell isn't setting the world on fire

Why on earth we'd risk playing hotton and gibcus this year is beyond me
