Seems to be coming together at last. No doubt Moore, Thursfield, Newman, Deledio, and Conners are our best back 5 with the 6th spot up for grabs IMO.

The last few weeks as a young player I don't think farmer has done his cause any harm either. He's been solid and chipped in with a goal or two.:thumbsu:

Yeah good point, totally forgot about Farmer:eek: My bad, he's been very good of late and has shown some great attack out of defence as well.

Our defense has been great all year, even when we were copping floggings they were getting pelted with the ball at 100mph every 30 seconds. Not many teams in the league would have been able to stop that.

He's doing enough to maintain his spot.
I loved his 4 bounce (IIRC) run through the middle. Pity he couldn't nail it in the end, he was too stuffed. He should have stopped, had a breather, and then taken a shot.
 
sssshhhhh, dont tell anyone but we have a back half that wouldn't look out of place amongst the cointenders. Lids and newy are guns..end of story. Connors will be ...has played less than 20 games, knocks up 20 odd possies noncelantly and has a left foot that is deadly.

Kel Moore can play, make NO bones about it...can defend stoutly and is creative, a dynamic combo and then for some steel...try thursty, Mcguane, or young Astbury that looks to be a cool head under pressure and I havent mentioned Mitch Farmer...yep folks dont let the secret out but that is one potent mix
 
..... it's almost like we wanted to cop floggings so we could fast track our defence.

As far as I could tell Hardwick never flooded the backline with extra players behind the ball to take the pressure off. Is it possible that all our guys needed was half a season of good coaching to all of a sudden have a pretty decent backline (still not there yet tho of course!)
