I think he was over possessing the ball a bit, at least 4-5 times, so the change to being part of the wing rotation might actually help him. Cottrell as more of a full-time forward also helps our pressure stats and pressure on spots in the team right now with a few forwards under performing.

I don't think Pittonet had his best ever game, nor do I think it was bad. I believe the team suffered for the tactical decision overall, but we made it work. Happy to try it again, also happy to try Binns. I want Ollie as the sub to give him a bit of a rest, while Binns' build is typical of...

I'd be interested to know why he had such a dirty day, yeah.

Bare minimum: OUT: Young IN: Cincotta I wouldn't be opposed to dropping Pittonet for a Binns debut. Give Ollie a spell as the sub. Cripps and Walsh played out of their skin in terms of output, though Walsh got over-involved in some chains of possession to our detriment. I really think Cripps...

It really comes down to how we structure our lists and sell it to the athletes: we could bring in players and promise them game time or getting a trade if it doesn't happen after a set period of time. Essentially give them all a development hub and turn it into something we can use to continue...

Yeah I'd be dropping Young

While the head bandage is a factor, Acres is showing signs of fatigue, needs a spell 6 interchanges left though

We just keep shutting down Green with whatever system we've had in place since last year... wild

Cowan's agility is a tad disappointing for someone you'd expect to intercept the ball in a forward press

Just like Buckley in his hey day, except Buckley could sprint clear and dob them from 55m.

Key difference that quarter was that we started to use all the space afforded to us to better use the ball and present at the ball carrier better. GWS just bruise free

Can win with speed and knows how to use his strong leap late to surprise. The key is to kick it in front of him, and for him to time a late run to the intended space for him to lead into.

We have to sit one back after the bounce now until the momentum is arrested

Not sure he gets the separation against the athleticism of GWS.

Who would you prefer as the high half forward that gets separation? It's him or Hollands Gives the midfield, McKay and Charlie a spell now that we're stuck with Pittonet and almost zero run from defence.

Inability to sub Pittonet makes this extremely difficult, though that seems to be our wheelhouse Our only forward that leads with conviction and speed that doesn't have 2 or 3 hanging off him

At what point do we call Walsh a ball hog Ridiculous and telegraphed run for the handball receive

Why did McKay try and call that a mark... he had options all around him

2 interceptions and 8 spoils between Young, Weitering, and Kemp, Young the standout offender at 1 & 1. There was a play when he gathered the ball off the deck just outside 50 and opted to handball into traffic when he had space to wind up for a shot. Least confident play I have seen from him...

We're smashing them at the source but it's having little impact as GWS coast around with the ball on the outside - currently at 57 uncontested marks to 28 - to stream the ball cleanly into their 50. What they're not marking they're pressuring (+7 tackles inside 50) or roving, while at the other...

Sruk is in Coona Blues & CliffMcTainshaw, likely out of defence? Dug up the highlights and he plays a bit heavy for what you'd like, but can see the potential. Strong line up given how many we have missing.

Ash Johnson Jye Menzie Robert Hansen Jr Yup seen the discussion, looks promising.

And sometimes players slip through because of poorly perceived reasons about their athletic ability at the next level, or they have a style of play that isn't in vogue, or they don't fit the norm. Plenty of small forwards that have gone in this sort of range, and plenty of them have been in...

Natural forwards that can get separation on their opponent, and speed, speed, and more speed. Doesn't matter what position or line they play on, if they have a good skill set and elite speed, get them in. Biggest obstacle right now is that there's 9 teams lining up for this and we're at the...

Yet another exciting injury update: OUT: Saad (inj), McGovern (inj), Pittonet IN: Cincotta, Cowan, Young SUB: Kennedy E.Hollands, Cincotta and/or Williams to the midfield, maybe even Kemp if we want to get creative and their taller forward line isn't creating havoc. Cowan, Kemp, and Boyd...

Almost as if the additional runner could have helped with our ability to pressure and defend through the midfield... Not if you're too incompetent to figure out how to position to prevent the ball being paddled out to a runner in space.

Not sure how that helps our midfield issues... You kid, and I'm never going to suggest dropping him, but our uncontested possession broke down a bit more with him back on the weekend. His repeat efforts are fantastic, but he - and some of his team mates - need to pick his moments better so...

Going to go out on a limb and suggest he's not particularly quick, or he'd have been drafted last year.

On the off chance you're serious the already established protocol is to use players from your state affiliate.

Your first comment comes from the lens of a completely mismanaged football club haemorrhaging players for both good and bad reasons, not the league at large. Your second comment has little regard for how quickly the league will advance (and in some respects should have already). The only...
