[SOS Rules]

Indeed, which given what a professional and no doubt his own harshest critic that Walshy is, I back him to improve as well.

Crippa is travelling pretty well. For someone not considered an elite kick, his kicking was really good on Saturday. Some of his passes into the 50 were centimetre perfect. He helps his efficiency by staying off his left. Walshy was askew a number of times and did burn some really good options while kicking to Mac Andrew. I'm sure he'll improve.

Walshy was askew a number of times

Seems to try the check-side instead of using his left

Taking a few too many cues from Naicos lol

I feel like Crippas kicking this season has gone up a notch, yeah still prone to the odd howler or kick in hope, but I feel like his kicks have been bullets and have been hitting their targets more often than not.. And he’s becoming more reliable in front of goals.. Love that for him .. Reckon Port won’t have an answer for him this week, I hope anyway

 

[BigFrizz36]

I hope so, still will make finals I think as long as not top 4 giving them 2 bites of the cherry to break the streak.

Or even better they finish top 4, get smashed by us in the first week and some other team feasts on the carcass the following week.

Stig O'Hara do we get a menu for your pending attendance?

Last time in the Committee Room it was canapés & pork bellies, & I was going through that lot by the fist full.

Washed down with unlimited SuperDry’s for 4 hours should turn me into a blithering mess.

It will be messy.

After reading this article will they put Cinc on Butters this week.

Cincotta continues playing his role

Alex Cincotta continues to put his hand up and take the big roles under Michael Voss.

I think he has a similar role to Touk from GC when he spreads from contest.

Cripps will go head to head with Ollie and Hewett tagging with Kennedy would be perfect for Boak.

Gov out, Marchbank to replace him

Confirmed?

Gov out, Marchbank to replace him

Right decision. Gives him 20 days to recover…

 

[Numero 31]

Fanta against his old side, I would keep him in…

Agreed, plus might be good for Motlop to get another VFL game in before a return to the AFL seniors.

That Walsh one was particularly perplexing. He had a man free i50 that was an even shorter easy kick than you could probably hope for, instead goes towards H in a contest, doesn't even quite get there.

OK, I will give a bit here…

There was no pats on the back after this win. It was expected but our performance was not great.

There were 8 examples put up on the screen, no commentary from any of the coaches. Then ‘one’ of them let rip…

Awful is another word…

It's the main area Walsh needs to improve

Like the imagery of that.

As messy as a Monivae V St Paddies in the middle of July in the Rat?

Dinner & prayers on the Friday night then you bastards beat the snot out of us.

It's the main area Walsh needs to improve

It's purely decision making. Whether that be picking the correct option when going forward or picking when to call for the ball. Improve these two aspects and he'll win a Brownlow.

Competition is very even outside of the top one (Sydney).

And even they, I suspect, will be shown to be vulnerable outside of Sydney....

The secret is to get on a roll....a series of consecutive wins.

(like us in '23)

Need to fire up on all cylinders at round 16 and hope we have a healthy list.Impossible to pick a clear winner at this stage.

Walsh has fallen into this poor habit of putting his head down and just launching long.

Just needs to take a breath and look up to see what's unfolding in front of him

Calling for the ball when in poor positions, is also on the player releasing the ball

I'd like to see him a touch more outside

Rain during the day, looks like it will clear for the game
