A Small Favour

[RedVest4]

Hello,

Since this new reaction system has come in, I have noticed my likes to divvy reactions received is at 2:1 in favour of the divvy reaction.

I’d appreciate it if you could all put a stop to this. Everyone knows I am the best poster on this forum and don’t deserve this kind of treatment.

Thanking you all in advance.

Vesty

Fantasy form watch: The Pig delivers on tough week for coaches
After flagging his SANFL form last week in his first game back since a hamstring injury, the Pig did what pigs do - completely over-indulged. He had a huge second half, scoring over 100 in that time alone to end the game on yet another 150. He didn't miss a beat and was extremely active in the all-important 'red time' at the end of the game. His game was highlighted by 36 possessions and 11 marks.

I’ll touch a bit more on Hawkins below, but the main reason for his ineffectiveness starts and ends with the job Tom Clurey did on him.

Clurey’s effort on Hawkins was an absolute class in how to defend a power forward. He took Hawkins’ run, refused to allow him to body him up, and closed him down whenever Hawkins looked to get a jump at the ball. It was as though Clurey was given a cheat sheet before the game, and whatever questions Hawkins and Chris Scott asked of him, he already knew the answers.

Rom a Geelong perspective, he was like that annoying bloke playing a quiz show that keeps answering questions before the host can finish them, and us dummies are there wondering how the hell he knew that answer when we didn’t even know the end of the question!

Clurey finished with seven intercept possessions as he worked Hawkins away from the contest and was able to zone off and help out his teammates as the game progressed. It is a feather in Clurey’s cap that Hawkins was unable to have any sort of impact, even late in the piece, as forwards have a habit of bobbing up late and kicking a late one to save a bit of face.

Not this night, however. Clurey stuck with Hawkins all the way to the final siren to put a cherry on top of a dominant sundae. It was perhaps the most comprehensive defensive performance of the season, and worthy of votes.

A big teddy bear that plays from behind is not a Power Forward. Powerforwardness is independent of height and weight my friend. The Kardinia Kats get glimpses of Powerforwardness when Dangerfield cameos in the forward pocket. I rarely see it otherwise.

(Lethal was a power forward at 1.78m and 86kg and so was Gary Ablett Snr at 1.85m and 97kg. Do you know how much collateral damage they caused in the forward line?)
