NicNat said he could play a few games in the WAFL in a few weeks time ...you got this one wrong Tiger , I'm going to delete my account if NicNat plays on Saturday .
Though I heard Gaffy say NicNat has been causing a few problems in match simulation practice recently playing against the main team .

Vardy forward ruck > O Allen or Brooksby.,
I'm not going to get excited and argue anything you said, but that's a big call. I like most of your work, but that's just not right.

Brooksby was much better in the WAFL game they had and OAllen has been much better up forward and no worse in the ruck, on the very limited minutes he has put in there.

Vards 2019 - Basically a forward who hasn't scored, can't take a mark and gets pantsed in the ruck by every opposition ruckman.
Marks - except for 5 vs. GWS he has taken 6 marks in 6 games, none i50. O Allen has taken 27, quite a few i50.
Scores - 0:0, OAllen 10:6
Possessions - av 6, av 9.
 
If Ht gets this right, everyone has to delete their account and leave ht here by himself.

We can make a new forum with Fivey.

If Nic Nat comes back this week there’ll be no point discussing the Eagles ever again because nobody outside of the club has any chance of knowing what they’re thinking.

Can you imagine though, for maximum impact I wouldn't even name him as an emergency and just have him run on to the field carrying a steel chair right before the game, take the fine.

Rotham for Jetta.

Will you if he isnt?:thumbsu:
 
I personally don't think that the answer to our slow start to the year is in the Reserves team.
The issue doesn't seem to be with our premiership players but the tactics deployed against them.
We are seeing a return to the bad old days of the double flood but not only is it used against the Eagles but all the 2018 top teams who all used a similar game plan. Melbourne, last night just resumed that structure and style from last season against WCE who also deployed the same game style as last season and the game played out as you would expect based on the 2018. Otherwise Melbourne has struggled as has Richmond and Hawthorn.
Collingwood has struggled over the last few weeks against Carlton and against St Kilda today.
Something has changed, not the new rules but a more negative approach that has resulted in lowers scores, ugly football.
A few of the commentators (so called experts ) are now picking up on this and you can bet your life that some time soon some coaches and strategists find their way through the mire.
We are not doing too bad in the current environment.
We are the hunted don't forget', every coach is watching what works against the Eagles.

Among the tactics that are obvious are:

1. A twelve man defense, with 5 across half back and 4 across center including 2 on each wing to stop the switch and the overlap causing the WCE to play back.
2. This flood also stops Darling and Kennedy to lead into space. Darling and Kennedy sometimes double teamed as well.
3. Arms of McGovern, Kennedy and Darling being held and chopped consistently.
4. Ball being delivered by opposition teams into their forward lines low and wide. (Often results is difficult shot on goals by opposition, hence numerous behinds kicked against us)
5. McGovern being blocked from running to the ball delivery.
6. The flood invariably chops off many WCE attacks and slingshots ball over into a vacant forwadline and run on to score goals. (hopefull enough to win the game or get close/ Ross Lyon style.)

Personally I don't believe that the Flood and Run Game can be sustained for four quarters.

Good summation of what is happening. 👌

I think you misinterpreted the >.symbol. I should have used / instead.

I was saying a decent like for like replacement for Vardy would be either one of Oscar or Brooksby. Both would easily add just as much if not more.

So in essence we agree.:thumbsu::thumbsu:
