I had a dream that Carlton played in another draw this season. Just going to leave this here just in case I’m right…

It is in the club's best interests if he makes it. If all of them make it. I want all of them to succeed. Some players seem to have a knack for reading the play and knowing where the ball is going. Honey doesn't do that. If he could read the play, his speed would see him get to so many more contests ahead of others. It is making me think he is quick and athletic but he doesn't have a footy IQ.

I look at Ollie Hollands and think that he understands where he is needed. He is not always going to get the ball. He is not always going to dispose of it perfectly. But he does run to the right spots.

Motlop reads the play quite well and can inject himself offensively and defensively when required. Yes, he also struggles when the team struggles. Durdin I'm still waiting for more from.

I mean, you can call it a pot shot, but all any of us can do is comment on the way we see things and we don't all see things the same way. For BigFooty's sake, thank god we think differently.

Tell you what though ... if Honey comes out tomorrow and kicks 2, puts on plenty of forward pressure and impresses in passages of play, I'll compliment him for it. I don't have a bent against any of our players. I just have expectations.

I think Durds has a decent footy brain as well, not as natural as Mots but can/does read it well & looks really good further up the ground…
Honey was originally looking good early days but more by using his speed pressure and power…

Seriously. We loved Kreuzer but his tap work was well below par. Not sure he's the best person to teach our up coming rucks.

Having said that: "those who can't, teach"

But our ruck devision has been poor for a long time.

I was going to write something very similar the other day, he’s strengths were wonderful for a ruckman but as far as hit outs, he was average…

Just making one more post/attempt

If anyone has a spare GA ticket I'd be happy to buy/grab it off them.

My friend wants to come and I only have my own ticket

Check your PM's

Walk up bay chockers already. Rest of the stadium pretty empty. Line at gate 7 moved pretty quickly.

Can anyone tell me how Saints flogs can be permitted to sit in the Members Zone? Hard enough finding a seat as it is.

O’Brien sub.

Acres named on the wing and Kennedy at half back.

fmd, we're gonna be slow if that's the case.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Kennedy at half back.

Wonder which of the mids will spend the most time there. We are unbalanced and will require them to rotate through the spot....


Honestly sad I didn't get to see Kemp play at any level this week. Been really enjoying watching him play.

 

[Accidental genius]

when does the game day thread open?

 

[Blue Dimension]

fmd, we're gonna be slow if that's the case.

Confirmed - Kennedy warming up with defensive group.

 

[TENACIOUS]

Kennedy is down back again…

 

[HarryFlashman]

Can’t see the game day thread?
