What makes someone an A grader?

The rest of the team.

Trying to work out that logic like

Trying to work out that logic like

It's a simple equation


glug glug glug + post post post = A grade

It's a simple equation


glug glug glug + post post post = A grade

Two out of three ain't bad, I've missed you too.

Was low flying but did not make the team

Doesn't make sense really. I'm sort of curious if it's a structure thing, forcing them not to rely on him? But even that sounds dumb now I type it 'aloud'.

 

[DapperJong]

or they just didn't want to play him

I don't think it sounds dumb. It's match practise, so training by extension. No Stringer meant Laverde and Smack had to work harder. If that's the rationale, I like it.
Stringer on the other hand will still get some work into the legs and hopefully plenty of practise in front of goals. I reckon he'll play alongside Laverde in the 2nd Marsh game.

I wonder if you might be right, Laverde and Smack both played full-games which suggests we wanted to get the work in to them and see how the forwardline function using them surrounded by smalls.

Any updates on Stringer?

Ice on calf just before halftime

Same thing happened with Hurley which turned out to be precautionary. Hopefully just a similar situation.

 

[Liberator]

Apparently just a knock. Begley also fine.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Apparently just a knock. Begley also fine.

Good to see they’re taking a conservative approach

 

[Lore]

Minor corky apparently.

Jake was down to play a bit over a half. He looked sharp and showed his usual explosiveness in the centre bounces and forward. He copped a minor corky in the third quarter but was planned on being iced at that point anyway.

Still head ******* nuffies on the main board.

Go Jake.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Bit of a Jake game today. Beasted a few centre bounces, used his possessions and always got the ball going forward, kicked 2, could’ve kicked 4.

 

[yaco55]

An under-rated game - Quelled the influence of Fyfe at centre clearances while dangerous up forward.

 

[windyhill]

Kicked the winner. ( beautiful smother Tippa)

 

[ant555]

Riveting stuff from Jono Brown during the broadcast...."looks like he has a new role at the centre bounce this year "
Another expert who obviously does not watch a lot of footy given it started at the start of last year.
