OMc isn't as hated as Smith at the momentI get the feeling the the coaches just let the fans pick the team this week. Well except for Omac.

Give it one game and most will remember. If Hore was fit that would be his spot with little debate I think.OMc isn't as hated as Smith at the moment
That’s only because he hasn’t played in 2020 yet.OMc isn't as hated as Smith at the moment
He played round 1 I think?That’s only because he hasn’t played in 2020 yet.
Perhaps. But considering our performance, my point stands.He played round 1 I think?
I believe he kept Darling to one goal that game.He played round 1 I think?
Some aspects of the market are whackGold Coast are $2.15 lol
Or he leaps heigh at a well weighted kick and does everything right but mark the ball.If people think weid i going to change our fortunes up forward, just watch as they bomb it over his head, he cops all the flack and gets dropped again
idk which is more likelyOr he leaps height at a well weighted kick and does everything right but mark the ball.
It really is a case of death and taxes.idk which is more likely
Pretty happy with those changes. Tomlinson hasn’t been doing a lot but somewhat surprised he was dropped. Loving Bennell and Nev back in. And finally another key forward. Also Omac can allow Lever to intercept finally.
i don't know why people keep saying OMac in will now allow Lever to intercept. May and Smith usually took the key defenders allowing Lever the 3rd tall to work off, the same happened when OMac was in the team R1. the problem is the bad turnovers up the ground in stupid positions means alot of the time the ball comes in that quick we don't have time to set up a zone defence and allow Lever to intercept. he gets caught out guarding a man instead of guarding the space, which is what he does best. unless we use the ball better going forward and our mids and forwards apply more pressure, the same thing will happen no matter who is back there. the only likely difference will be that OMac wont have the pace to stick with his man on the lead and spoil like Smith could.
not really, Smith is 192cms i think and has a decent leap on him. i seen him kill more marking attempts in the last couple of weeks than you'll see OMac get to all year.Fair height difference, Smith isn't a KPD at 185cm so no doubt Lever was expected to get back and help.
Oscar and May make much more sense with Lever the ability to play the Howe role.

Ah i read he was 1.85, no idea where that was from.
I'm no Oscar fan but he is a better defender than Smith, Smith has played 1 decent game in the past 3 weeks.
To be fair i wish we had another option but we really don't.....for all the money and draft picks we have spent on defenders you would really think it shouldn't be a part of our game we would need to work on.

yeah im not saying Smith is the answer, i'm just saying that i don't think swapping him for Oscar is going to make any difference to how Lever plays. he will still get caught out if we let them move the ball quickly. i don't think our defence was that much of a problem the last few weeks, they stood up ok under a barrage of immense pressure at times. the problems are further up the ground.Ah i read he was 1.85, no idea where that was from.

Our defence is the least of our issues to be fair.
