This has bugged me all year. Not sure what the perceived advantage is. Sure they occupy a bit of space but it releases 'time and space' pressure on the kicker and concedes unnecessary ground. Interesting that Daniel O'Keefe was encouraging his players to do it at 3/4 time in the VFL and he...

I've been thinking the same for the last few weeks. I know and admire his strengths. With enough space and time he can be a weapon. But his contest work and composure under pressure is woeful, and I can't help but feel he might be a liability under finals pressure.

100%! He (Jordan Lewis) disputes free kicks awarded to Carlton and makes a case for opposition frees that aren't paid.

Silvagni probably goes back in that case and Motlop forward.

Serious question: Which hand is supposed to have touched the ball - his left or his right?

Noticed that LOB was playing on the 'right footers' wing last night - at least for part of the game (haven't yet watched the replay). Wondered whether it was to encourage (force) him to get more comfortable on his non-preferred? Or perhaps to encourage him to turn inboard for a more attacking...

You can only do what your opposition allows you to, but I loved how we switched gears a few times last night and worked the ball, with patience, back and forth across half back until something we liked opened up in the middle of the ground - a pinpoint pass to open them up and we were off and...

Club write-up said Willo played a new role but didn't say what. I assume wing as he was named there but based on this thread he doesn't seem to have had much impact. What's the future for this young man who showed so much promise early?

Yeah I agree. I reckon half the team looked like they were not well yesterday. An explicable lack of energy from much of the team, particularly the midfield. Kennedy was nothing like the player we have seen for the first 3 weeks - couldn't pick up the ball cleanly at all and marks were just...

+1

I don't enjoy criticizing young players but LOB does seem to have a fundamental weakness around physical contact. He is obviously well suited to the outside receiver role he played yesterday but he is so frustrating. Any tackle or contact, no matter how weak, is enough to dispossess him -...

Honey was there. I believe that is him behind Kemp on the running track. (image from Voss intro video)

I think it is a 'freebee' on Kayo. Just need to set up an account and you can watch it (without subscription)

So frustrated by Pittonet's ruck work the last two weeks but especially this week. So many times got a clean tap but almost every time to Dogs advantage. There seems to be no connection with his midfielders. The only time he was effective was when he grabbed it out of the ruck himself against...
