Good to see Buss up there! Even though he had low time on ground limiting his sample size, second for average defensive speed is still a good sign for someone who many have questioned his pace.

That's why I put the caveat on it. Still a positive however.I tend to look at these numbers a bit and often the sub that comes on is quite high for average speed because they go at full tilt for a quarter or so and the other blokes have averaged down over 4 quarters.

Edit: you did explain it a he'll of a lot better then I did though!

If the weather stays like it has this week I don’t think it should be too slippery this year. TIO is in ripping knick at the momenti believe how far we bat in the midfield will be a huge advantage in Darwin. Must be smart with our rotations and the barrels filled footballs and water will be out all week at training.
I questioned his pace but only because I'd never seen him play.Good to see Buss up there! Even though he had low time on ground limiting his sample size, second for average defensive speed is still a good sign for someone who many have questioned his pace.
His reaction time and footy IQ is good which makes up for a few short comings with his speed but I'd like to see more games at AFL level before I make a judgement.I questioned his pace but only because I'd never seen him play.
Second for avg.def speed is a good answer.
But still, limited exposure. Closing speed? How do we rate it?
agree - Think Buss needs to start next week. Suns are very tall up forward.Given the suns have King Walter and Reed only change I would make is to put Bramble as the sub and Buss into the starting 22
The sheer depth of our midfield and experience in hot weather this year has me feeling pretty confidentLobb to King and JOD and Buss swapping on Walter and reed actually seems a decent match up set for us.
Ultimately comes down to an enormous midfield battle.
At that point he may aswell just wait for the bye. I think if he is getting a rest it should be this week, however I'd instead be looking to manage his minutes in game.Hope not this game but Bevo has mentioned Libba may need to be rested a couple times through the season. Given the heat, humidity and travel this could be a game where he does it the other side of the coin is this is a game we need to win to continue our charge for the top 4 and would prefer it against the dons next week.
Why? They’ve been fairly poor in the last 3 weeks bar the 2nd half last week against the swans we’ve won the last 3 by an average of 11 goalsWe are favourites now. Not sure I agree, GC don't tend to lose up there
They’ve had a fairly soft draw so far so wouldn’t be trusting their formline just yet.We are favourites now. Not sure I agree, GC don't tend to lose up there
especially with the likely conditions in DARWINI don't think anyone deserves to be dropped off the back of that game. Even VDM had some crucial handballs clearing packs to set up a couple goals.
I'd be interested to see how much ground Davidson covered compared to his usual very high bench mark but from my eye he looked to be travelling slower and not spreading as much, on top of his disposal letting him down. Although he is mature age we mustn't forget he was playing local football two years ago.
He has hit the ground running but not worth burning him out considering he is already critical to our game.
If Bailey Dale did something wrong the MRO would of pick it up alreadyView attachment 2305734
Can anyone who was at the ground confirm if Dale swung first? I highly doubt it but hopefully he’s not in any danger of missing a game
Probably just Willie whining as per usual
Your point about Lobb is spot on. The ability to move him forward in the second quarter against the Giants stopped their intercept defending and JOD, Buss and also Clizz ensured we were not exposedI think Buss needs to play this week. Earned another game from his solid debut and although it will be slippery and a bit of a slog in Darwin, the Suns play a tall forward line and often the scrap to get the ball forward ends up in high dump kicks where it's useful to have another interceptor or big body to kill the high ball. Gives us the Lobb to shift forward flexibility if needed at any point in the game or to cover for an injury to one of the talls.
He bumped him first, no punch that I saw.View attachment 2305734
