If he was to pop up with 2 or 3 every week he could earn a spot - doing it against all comers is another thing altogether though.

Very much so… Fowler now with 3 but he looks a legitimate small forward by contrast

Bianco isn’t playing forward today……….just in the right spot at the right time.
Fowler similarly knows how to find the right spot and goals.

Half time Pies 8.4.52 Dons 7.3.45
Don’s just worked harder that qtr and they’ve shut down a few of the Pies prime movers. It’s a real slug-feat in the middle with no notable stand outs for the Pies.
Neville J with 14 and leading the way for Coll. Tyler been on with 13 but unfortunately still lacks that polish which would see him transition to a legitimate AFL player.
3 apiece for Bianco and Fowler, with Fowler certainly the better game of the 2.
Henry, really unsighted- not sure what his role is today. Seems to be stuck in no-man’s land with the majority of the game being played in the midfield and he’s positioned as a low half forward not impacting the play at all.
Murley was everywhere in the first but they clamped down on his run at half back and it was noticeable to our fwd drive.
HH and Chugg started ok as well, but both had quieter 2nd qtrs.

Bianco playing better than usual. Henry is annoying me. Murley, Draper and Harrison all reminding us that they were good selections. Have to remember they were later so won't be at the same standard as Daicos given he was the de facto first pick. I'm not concerned by them having slow games from time to time.
Time for some moves or a shifting of tactics - too many times over recent years we have mulishly refused to change tactics or bring players on/take them off.
It's one thing to have faith in your players but another thing altogether to give the opposition momentum to hurt you because of your reluctance to adapt.

Agree with this. They countered our first qtr with some tactics that worked well. Time to get the game back on our terms..

Can't you take it out of the ruck and not be done for holding the ball.
yeah I thought that was a bit stiff but can never follow the ruck frees really

If that's the rule he shouldn't have been done for holding the ball.

That’s a double negative but I assume you mean - is it now legal to remove the ball from a ruck contest and not be penalised?

Nothing said about Henrys mark and goal. Not surprised.

Is it? At least they have a fair bit of experience with Devon Smith and Tippa.

Cox has dropped so many marks
Is there a reason or has it been explained why his goggles are dark?
