Yeah he should get some leeway because he can break games open but that just means you have to pull him back when he moves in the wrong direction otherwise he will take more and more risks until he becomes a liability.

Warner has been really annoying me. The fend off has become the only thing he thinks of even when there are clear hand ball targets all around him and at times he sees the goals and completely forgets what team first football looks like. You hope he gets the sort of feedback that will see him...

Honestly didn't think Heeney had it in him to play at such a high level so consistently. It has been a welcome surprise. Gulden is getting more attention than last year but is still doing well to impact the game and seems to be building into the season really well. On the negative side we need...

I feel the problem for Lloyd is that if we execute our game plan well he basically gets bypassed especially if he is playing in defence. If he is in defence that then means he has to play a proper defensive role which doesn't suit him and if he is playing off the wing he just won't get as many...

Was good to see him working hard through the 4th quarter but for me he is a bit of a problem in a 3 talls set up as he provides so little when he doesn't take the mark. If we are playing well and hitting targets going forward it will look good but if it is scrappy we are going to struggle to...

Personally the AFL have never been concerned enough with concussion and should reassess their penalties to acts like this one. Webster should be gone for the year he never attempted to bump legally, he did not try to slow down, he had an unimpeded view of the player disposing of the ball...

And yet they keep getting picked

Never understood how Stoinis and Abbott keep getting picked. If they are the best we have its a worry.

Thanks for the input Ted.

Wow such a bad take IMO

Yeah we are kicking into a pretty strong breeze but for some reason we are trying to play a heavy kicking game which makes zero sense.

Thought Francis was fine while in defence - was predictably ineffective when forward. Bit hard to judge his year as his best role is as more of an intercept defender and due to injuries he has played a lot more 1on1. Also thought it was strange playing Fox forward. He does have a 6 goal game if...

Wow that was fast. Looked so confident and self assured in the VFL on the weekend hopefully he can take that step up and become a legitimate long term option.

Poor qtr for Konstanty. Also players need to be reminded that they should shepherd for their teammates on occasion.

Great goal for HHK

It just makes it so hard to justify watching the game when you know we aren't likely to win the game with so many injuries and then the umpires just pile on.

For some reason I am always surprised by how bad the vfl umpiring is. Melican gets hit high then tackled around the neck and the umpire has the gall to tell Melican he imagined the high contact.

Well that was horrific. Have to question the coaching and training these players are receiving because overall they are well off the pace.

upped the pressure work and kicked the goal. Hopefully more of that to come.

Almost hard to believe how bad the kicking is at times With some decent kicking going into the 50 and some competent goal kicking we would be ahead.

Wicks with some good tackling early. Doesnt seem bothered by the shoulder.

Yeah he didn't look especially comfortable early but like you said really worked his way into the game. Just really needs to play more games so that he can learn our backline systems and how to play with his teammates. Still too early to know if he will make it with us but don't think he has...

Was much more mobile yesterday than in his other games for the year. I do question his ability to run out games though and think there needs to be a real consideration of subbing him out in the last. It would be a big call since he has so often stood up with the game on the line in the last...

Ladhams is a bit like Grundy when he moved into defence. Just needs to play enough to really understand his own limits and then he can hopefully play within them.

Think it was probably his highest workrate game of the year. Unfortunately still not very effective.

Definitely looked a level above most other players out there and would have more of an impact than Cunningham. Do you think Hickey play enough minutes to come into the seniors next week?

Didn't see the whole game but thought Sheather played decently although I am still not sure why he is playing in defence given how good he looked in his first year playing forward.

Good work experience for these kids umpiring I guess

The thing with Cunningham is that he has never had more than the occasional good game outside of the backline. He got displaced from the backline last year and he hasn't played there this year and seemingly the only reason he has been in the side is because Clarke has been injured and he has...

Should have started in the backline. Up forward he missed a couple of marks but the ball barely went up his end so not like he got a lot of chances. Thought he did well enough when moved back considering the state of the game and I would look to keep him in the side even if both Rampe and...
