They are also experts at absorbing physical pressure and either breaking tackles or disposing of the ball effectively Makes it hard to contain them once they get hands on a loose ball following a skill error or fumble

Yes Martin is robbing him of some distribution duties but Redman’s intercept game including his marking has been off, and that’s not on Martin. Redman doesn’t look as clean in the air and around the contest as he can be at his best.

Wright, Goldstein, Draper? Yesterday worked better than I had imagined. Largely thanks to a better Draper game, and good team pressure. Feel like Wright struggled to get any separation after quarter time and our inside 50 targeting was pretty lame through the middle of the game. Still...

That’s what they’ve always said but surely Alwyn and Jayden would have chosen to swap names by now if that was the case.

Yeah I had a lot of feelings at full time but waking up today I’m happy with the result. I always come to hate the premier but OMG Collingwood and their supporters are smug - like they haven’t just won a flag, they’ve cracked the code of footy. Even Macrae who I fundamentally like.. I so...

Did you get the McPuppy Small but delicious

We’re getting to the stage where some trades of very good players going out will make sense. You can take LDU as an FA and trade out someone. Hobbs? Parish? Setterfield? You end up with a better midfield plus more promising kids. Just hope we keep Baldwin as the chairs get shuffled. If everyone...

He’s the new Michael Hurley

That’s an off day for Buckets. Just couldn’t clunck them and looked uncomfortable a few times. To be fair there were more punters looking on today than there were cumulatively in all the wins he had at North over 8 years.

If he wins the Brownlow I’ll be stoked because we have probably won enough games to finish top 4.

I reckon the real number is 86 but yep

Cox is slower Hobbs is fast enough when he has decided to give it. Watching him it feels like he spent his junior footy years never giving the first option, always dodging and weaving. Can’t get away with that. Definitely not running on top of the ground for whatever reason. Losing a few...

Yep it’s just like when Mark Waugh finally got a go. He’d been watching Steve get every chance. They dropped Steve and Mark gracefully stroked 138 against the Poms on debut at Adelaide Oval.

Fair enough. Still went forward at times so I don’t reckon it was radically different but you’re right.

ADJ had zero tackles today We are giving a bunch of midfielders small forward minutes because the small forwards aren’t ready to own the spots. We get adequate-ish contribution from Hobbs, Parish etc when they are forward but there are shortcomings. I imagine we would look a bit different...

Hot take

His handball is actually quite improved this season believe it or not. Was historically terrible previously Anyhow, you can see where he is heading as a player and I reckon he will get there… in about 4 years

Same role Better execution I have been saying that we need him to have 5 or 6 marks a game and it’s definitely a much better look

Yeah but Collingwood are missing Ginnivan

It would be a game changer for the club if we end up with even one elite small forward out of the Daveys and Tex Wanganeen. I am enjoying Alwyn's cleanliness with the ball and his chase down tackles / pressure. Would only have to be that little bit more involved to go from ok to very good...

I reckon he's tracking ok and has it in him.

Please 🙏

I’m extremely worried about this structure. Collingwood have the skill and dare to break us on transition. Our only hope is to take this promising forward press to its next level. That seems impossible to me in this format. If only takes one loose player to create overlap.

I think we are seeing that if both are playing the ball no-one will be suspended. Agree that under current rules two people could technically get suspended if both bumped. And I have to say.. that would be pretty cool.

Revolutionary. Feels like Essendon is still in good citizen mode on the off chance they can still dock us more draft picks

Contrary but I think it’s starting to work well. He’s getting better week by week. With Ridley out, Redman has had to defend more. We need run and spark and we are getting that from Martin. I reckon he’s being punished here for duffing a hero kick or two a game. Aside from those it’s...

I know James Hird oversaw the saga.. but …
