Statistically speaking, Finlayson is having a far superior season to Todd Marshall. Even Todd’s supposed strength (goal kicking accuracy), is below AFL average for KPFs (39.1%).
At 25, he should be entering into the most productive years of his AFL career, but unfortunately he’s trending in...
GWS at full strength have them covered.
Having said that, I think this years Premiership race is down to 4 teams;
Geelong, Carlton, GWS & Sydney, with the Giants my clear cut favourite.
Let’s see, immediately grabs back of hammy after kicking, can barely get out of a jog on next play, it’s a standard ping of the strings until proven otherwise.
I really like Josh Treacy, a good strong, mobile forward who can kick goals & also take big contested marks to get his team out of trouble on the defensive end. Marshall could learn a thing or two by watching how he goes about it.
Carlton dominated all the statistics except forward 50 efficiency. The Cats are masters at pushing their players further up the ground to create extra space for their forwards to work into.
So many of their goals are scored by running into an empty goal square, or their KPFs marking the ball...
These statistics are hard to ignore & I use to rip Hoff with the best of them.
Marshall can either choose to wallow in his own self pity, or dig deep, grit his teeth, & reach his potential.
***t happens, that’s life, & football is no different. The club has its challenges, so what? You either embrace it, or you roll over and play the victim.
Now is the time to embrace the adversity, not run from it. A great leader would get on the front foot & seek out Butters, get in the ear...
What do you mean it was hard to determine? Watch the footage again, he grabbed his hammy immediately after kicking the ball in a pack situation.
No wonder half the list is in the medical rooms when our fitness department can’t get the basics right.
I’d argue GWS has very good depth, & the Suns will be in a similar position in 2 years time.
What was baffling, was the decision to send Rozee back on the ground when it was obvious he blew a hammy.
Insipid, lazy, disinterested, timid, lethargic, weak, impotent, feeble, innocuous, spiritless, drab, bland & lifeless. A decomposing corpse would have had more meaningful influence on that game.
Considering our injuries, it was a good result I guess, but the Saints did themselves no favours by playing a pedestrian brand of footy when we were down for the count.
The Positives
Jase Burgoyne - your dad would be proud mate.
Ollie Wines - best game for quite a while.
Jordan Sweet - more...
The majority of AFL sides are trained to the minute, the only exception would be the clubs with very young developing lists.
We bleed points at the end quarters because we lack discipline & resilience. That’s a leadership problem, not fitness. If you’re a player peering over to your bench &...
This is a damning statistic which indicates we’re 20% worse than the 17th ranked team alone (Lions).
There can only be 3 possible causes:
1) Fitness
2) Game plan
3) Mentally weak
You can immediately rule out fitness as the cause, which leaves Game Plan & Mental Weakness as the possible...
