Attempted gout

Last year he was drifting back as the extra number in defence for us, and he was spotty but helped sweep the ground ball. Then we re-structured and the half-forwards provided midfield pressure and Newman, Williams and Saad could sweep fine. That period of him dropping back told us he was never...

Can confirm Jon Ralph is out for 4 weeks, ruling him out of the home and away season

Even if it were true, that's no reason to throw him to the wolves at half-back.

Glad that we're looking to keep Dal Pos in the mix in that respect, because I'm not sure how much she has left in her legs. Keeps her valued experience around the team even if she can't stay in the side.

Correct call, not our issue

Or have all these numbers overlap to generate a running shot from 40

Nice Kennedy, read it early and better ... damn

I've got no problem with him coasting in after the bounce, but he needs to go back to being in there a lot less when the opposition load up on speed. Cincotta can't cover everyone, and that's not part of any long term answer either. Plenty who can rotate in from forward or wing for the bounce.

Put Cerra on the ball

I wouldn't go that far, I just feel he can't close down the vast majority of opponents that he faces there off his own steam. He's not alone there for us, but he's not a big body either. Not sure what the benefit is.

Putting aside how much of a torturous grind our finals run was compared to what it could have been, with his endurance base he's going to get better as a season goes on, assuming he's fit and not getting banged up, but he's absolutely getting banged up. Combine that with the needlessly selfish...

Tell me how Cerra can't do a better job than Walsh at that centre bounce

He is increasingly becoming a less athletic version of Bucks, exactly as I called when we were set to draft him. Needs to learn his moments and he'll get the same amount of footy without tiring himself and others.

Not sure what Walsh thought was going to happen there taking possession... needed to go harder and draw a player out of the path of the ball, then shepherd

That's what Young, Cottrell, and Cripps are supposed to be taking turns doing.

Immediate response, nice

Port should be 4 goals up

We're not going to win this with the forward setup like this and limited physical pressure through midfield... change it up so forwards can apply themselves up the ground and open things up.

Why is no one defending the goal square

Walsh on the wing please Cerra on ball, Cottrell or Cincotta to defence

Player spins out of a tackle and umpire treats it like he was spun... what in the actual **** was that decision. We're playing touch footy now

O'Keeffe would have been a better shout, but he went and got himself injured again.

Port have swung him forward to target Kemp a bit, question is will we swing Young back and play more mobile up forward. We've got the personnel to make it work if the mids have forward rotations.

Loving Young's forward patterns and our ball use into the 50. 🙃

Only dead game left is West Coast, but I'd rather we looked at O'Keffee as a ruck/forward option if anything. Look if we've got the ability to retain him as a rookie, I'm all for it, he's starting to take the game on properly. But if we're doing that, we should probably be helping Pittonet...

What thread am I in? Honestly though, Mirkov has started showing some signs, might get a chance to train with us again in the off-season.

It was front on contact with arms/chests involved, but seemed fairly minor despite him grabbing for his rib cage. Not sure the puncturing really happened during the game. I'd replace Lord and Binns with Marchbank and Wilson. Lord is still too much like Bentick for mine, and Binns just doesn't...

OUT: Cottrell, TDK (rest), Carroll, Durdin IN: Martin, Pittonet, McGovern, Kemp Sub: Kennedy (likely swap with Cerra)
