Rotham hasn’t been perfect as he’s slightly over kicked on a couple of occasions but his game has improved and he is getting back to his early form. He should stay in the side

The games I’ve seen, the Beagles have always been on the wrong side of the frees

He’s been ok on the long ball in. He has also been getting lost and loose with his player when the forward entry has some precision. Hell learn but has a way to go. Understandable as he’s been a ruck, plus injured most of his career.

Worked alright in 2018

With Oscar out, we can't just experiment with B Williams as a key forward. He is the only fit ruck we have capable of halving contests. He did OK when he went on the ball but was a fish out of water as the key forward. J Williams is young and also needs time but at the moment he is the best...

Totally agree.

Not sure that's right. Last year and even last week his turnovers from the backline resulted in goals to the opposition. If he stuffs up a kick or fumbles in the backline it's invariably a goal. The answer of course is to tidy up disposal not shift him as he does have skils

On the plus side, Duggan improved his kicking and actually hit a few targets. Briggs was far too big but Barnett competed well. The difference in footy IQ when Maric, Brockman, Reid and Hunt get the ball is noticeable. Long also to a degree.

You know there is only about 6 weeks difference in their age? In addition Williams probably has to play key forward

Ok then, he was invisible except for the times he wasn’t and then he was bad

I don’t think you watched close enough. There were a few times the ball came his way and he fumbled it or even clean missed it. He did chase hard but simply did not have the pace to catch the port players involved

Gaff mark 2?

Exactly. Traditionally the run with players are the ones who have the midfield skills but for some reason don't get enough of the ball. The run with role not only nullifies the effectiveness of the opposition player but also keeps them in the play and teaches where they need to be to get the...

Spot on. He turned into a player without confidence who immediately stopped when he got the ball and kicked either to the side or back. He had the pace, size and kick to take the game on but obviously had been told to hold the game up and play safe. That's alright when you can set up a feed to...

Rather have Sheed (if fit) than Gaff any day. You can’t have both in the same team but Sheed is way more damaging with kicking and attack than Gaff. He has to be fully fit though as last year the few games he played he simply couldnt keep up

Today Bailey just couldn’t reach the ball but I noticed last week that when he was getting taps the mids were on the wrong side of his approach. He would have to have turned his hand to swipe backhand to reach them. As a result his taps, when he got them, went to the opposition

I agree he made good decision but just doesn’t get enough of the ball

These umpires have been terrible. There is no effort to get rid of the ball when tackled and they just don’t pay the kick. High tackles are guesses and in the back is the same. Easy money, just run around the park and have a guess every now and again

His idol was Priddis

Keystone cops stuff. Four rucks in the squad yet none of them available for the centre bounce

Every time he gets it he has turned it over either directly or just a dolly hand ball or kick putting his team mate under pressure

Bloody Duggan looks like a newby…. He’s just so fumbly and clumsy

He’s been in the wrong position the whole game. I’d love him to succeed but I don’t think he’s going to

Not sure this thread could get any more weird

Well my system blacked at as a malicious site

True…..peers being very low level

That’s the thing. Our experienced players who should have been holding things together to allow the younger players to be exposed to AFL games gradually, were out injured or banged up and couldn’t get a run. The lack of players in the WAFL side made the situation worse so inevitably the side...

He needs to tidy up disposal. No good breaking lines then turning the ball over. He did improve on this in his last couple of games but needs consistency

The good thing about Duggan playing as a mid is that we don't get hurt so much by his occasional shanks coming out of the backline. I've been watching some of our games this year on repeat and he plays well but it's surprising how many easy turnovers he has near goal which gifts the opposition a...

On the other hand, Sheed had a bad injury and a stuttering return due to more injuries. He also makes more attacking positions and is a damaging kick. Gaff, as you say, gives his all but even this is not particularly inspiring. A comparison has him at similar pace as Sheed but far less damaging...
