AFL obviously wants Carlton s drawing power for finals.
If the bulldogs were a threat it would hurt.But with our midfield letting the ball waltz out of centre over and over again.
.Making finals won't cure that..
But if l was Ah Chee Melbourne or Collingwood l would appeal the appeal...
He could have kept Khan'is in let Bruce get ready for next year.And let Darcy take those marks close to goal.He didn't and we lost.And you can't expect Libba to do all the desperate work at the centre. bounce .Bont has been off and MaCrae has been shown up at centre clearances,,and...
Imagine if a man in marking form,was playing full forward....Instead of a player with no confidence in his body and a player out of form who can play defence.
Getting smashed at centre clearance.
Naughton no influence.
Bev doesn't change anything.
Poor selection
Poor coaching
Bruce ,Ha nan , Mcomb selected before better players .Daniel needed to come back through reserves.English Smith,,,Dunkley , McCrae no influence.
What a shite game of football
Doesn't matter what era if you can mark the ball as often as Darcy does...
Isn't like we don't need players that can mark in the seniors.
Bobby dazzler
When Gary Dempsey played for Victoria he would play back pocket.Because he was the most prolific mark of all time (Recent Nick Rievoldt) .Dempsey excelled in State Football.Good place for Darcy to begin his career as well.
From the outside McComb and Hannan seem to be favourites. Although we should look into it more thoroughly. Is it their body strength?Are they better trainers?Do they follow instructions better? Or is it purely positional.
Imagine the coach has his reasons.
He won't share tactical...
Has to be.
Don't get cocky like last time we played Geelong
And complacency sets in.
How many goes have we had of beating this side and failed ?????
We had a non functional forward line and too short last time round.
And were out marked all over the ground
Remember how Dekonning gave...
Yep and all we need is Darcy now.
Who can mark play defence or forward and give us flexibility. When Bruce or Keath are back to their best they can replace for now Darcy is better than both.If Darcy allows Naughton to roam and take Dekonning that's a win already
Oh l forgot he is tall very...
Watching Port nullifying May today with the bigger boddied Powell Pepper.
It's not height that worries May it's body strength .
Hannan is not the answer for Fritch or Kosi so better not risk him in defence.
Let him muscle up on May and free up the other forwards.
Was spewing when he left,all because a coach had no idea
Come home Liam We need tall defenders
And its Sport not politics
May We one day be free of Covid and all its suffering!
We won some good signs still alive and move on.
If the coaching staff can improve on that.We can technically make finals.
But tall forwards need to Mark,small forwards need to crumb.They didn't ! St Kilda just rebounded at will.The defensive structure broke down again in parts.If The...
And it would take all the pressure off him.And teach him to commit his body to the contest.He can always return to the forward line.But for now He can't be worse than the other defenders presently..
I would be a little careful playing players off a 5 day turnaround also.
But for Darcy ,if not sore in any way. Play him he is 18, his recovery time needed should be less critical than Bruce ,McLean or Cordy..Pity 2s didn't play Saturday.
