How is Snelling not dropped before him?
I reckon Snelling's last month has been better.
Maybe.
Feels unbalanced to me. I suspect Cox will play elsewhere.
Anyway, we’ll see tonight.

Ridiculous isn’t it. Snelling is a 2s player. Would rather Davey as pressure player if that’s the reason he’s being picked. Menzie the better forward
Any word on if hes sore or anything? Dropping him is weird to me.
Apparently Gia was on radio saying Cox to play predominantly wing….
Wonder if Durham goes forward? Or maybe Martin goes inside and Hobbs/Caldwell go forward?

Structurally?
Glad he's back. Should never have been dropped.

Late out for Weideman, hopefully.

Can see why he was dropped.

Nah. He applied more pressure single handedly than the entirety of our forward line.

Exceedingly low bar.

That is his primary role, goals are a bonus. Actually puts in 2nd and 3rd efforts to pressure the opposition.

Pressure inside 50 has not exactly been our strong suit .

Hopefully he can develop a side step and some evasiveness over summer that will cause a bit of panic for defenders. Has a lot of tools for the modern AFL player. Left foot snap at the death from the boundary shows he can kick them off both feet. Next year would be nice to see him lose opponents when he has the ball.

Our delivery i50 was poor, didn't give much chance for any of our forwards for the most part despite having a lot of entries.
Menzie just needs to keep playing so long as he's fit at the moment IMO.

It's frustrating to watch constant bombs into the forwardline that aren't to anyone's advantage, or even worse, kicks going directly to opposition defenders. Not sure if it's a forward issue (positioning/leading) or a mid issue (delivery), or both, but surely someone at the club must be able to see this if we can.
I'm starting to think we should change the logo. We shouldn't have the modern jet with laser guided missiles, it should be a pic of a WW1 bi-plane with the pilot dropping the bomb by hand, because that's about how accurate we are with our delivery.

Should never be left out of the team. He's ahead of Guelfi and Snelling for me.
Yep.
Gotta stop dropping the kid.
From being at the game it was far more of a forwards being out numbered, plus midfielders kicking wildly issues, than the forward positioning.

Big week for Jye imho, young opponent, our KPF's not dominating so lots of ground ball to be had. Hopefully he can dine out and kick 3 or more this week and shut me up. Would love 5+ tackles this week as well
