No, but Tex or Berg might.So does Schache kick 5?
He'll most likely play in the backlines.So does Schache kick 5?
With English being out and the game plan of our oppo this week, Kieran Strachan might have been considered as the better option for this game.Unfortunately O'Brien is in the worst form of his career
What is the pass mark for Hately?I'm happy for Hately to be given the opportunity, and looking forward to seeing what he brings to the table.
His 2021 season was cruelled by injury, and I was always reluctant to judge him on that basis. I don't have high hopes for him, but I will certainly be watching his performance with an open mind.
I'm not going to put any particular stats as a benchmark. I just want him to have a positive impact on the game.What is the pass mark for Hately?
I hope he does get at least 2 games because having to front up against a powerful midfield away from home is a tough ask.
15 Touches, a couple of clearances and lots of tackles I hope.
like his debut in Tas?Don't mind this side necessarily....
As much as I want TT back in the side, lets be honest this week at a small windy wet Ballarat ground is probably not going to do him any favours at all.
Rob has been rubbish since day dot and many called it out for what it was..
He's really smart and a nice guy so he's good for atleast 10 yrs at the AFC.
Draper was playing down at South, should've grabbed him on the cheap.
or melts about meltingOh, there will be melts. A lot of folks have already completely written Hately off, so they won't be positive about him getting a chance.
The game is played between the ears as much as it is on the field.
Agree.Draper is overrated
I'd love to get the win but doing so will be a massive boil over.They have a few out. We go in more settled than them. Even though at Ballarat I too am looking forward to seeing how we go. Hopefully we take it up to them and sneak over the line for a win!
Me too. He is a very similar size to Bont, which is pretty surprising. Nice if he turns out half as good!I'm not going to put any particular stats as a benchmark. I just want him to have a positive impact on the game.
Has Weightman put a target on his back by saying he'll continue to play for free kicks if he continues to get them.... I wonder if the umpires like being made the fool.
From the Port board:
Umpires be like...
I will concede that. The player who is aware of his surroundings, and controls the ball / his attack on the ball in that way - yes. that is a skill, I will allow that. But not flopping and diving and throwing your arms out and exaggerating contact.“I think I do have an ability to draw free kicks and I think that’s a skillset rather than a flop or whatever you call that because there are skills you can do … whether it’s taking the ball when you’re about to get tackled or ball control, so you don’t actually have possession and test out the defender if they’re going to grab it or not,” Weightman continued.
So listening to Rahilly. Soligo and Hamill are the 2 travelling extras. Rowe and Thilthorpe to play SANFL
IMO if we can find 15 goals we win. We won't concede 21 goals against them like North did last week. Before that the Doggies hadn't managed to score over 90 points.
Adelaide are 4th in the chain of wins...
Both Mel and Freo have beaten Essendon, who beat the Crows.
Crows > Richmond > GWS > GC > Carl > WB > Syd > Geel > Bris > Nth > WC > CWD > StK > Haw > Port.
The Crows' selectors seem to be weeks behind what is obvious to many BF posters.With English being out and the game plan of our oppo this week, Kieran Strachan might have been considered as the better option for this game.
I'm not thinking in possession-numbers-terms. I'd like to see Hately:What is the pass mark for Hately?
