I prefer to get a bit more out of a ruckman than just be there to compete.

Oh ok well I guess we shouldn't be critical of players because that's that.

Is it not legit if you don’t like her nasally voice and feigned excitement.
Take Isa GUha in the cricket she is world class. A breath of fresh air.
They Have Kelli Underwood and then Daisy Pearce who doesn’t take a breath or pause when speaking. There had to be better options than those two to introduce into the boys club of commentators.
She is terrible. Actually they would make an outstanding trio. One of her suggestions as to how a bloke should take a shot at goal was laughable yesterday.

No. Not Rampe. Once we got tall backs the idea was for Rampe to drift off onto the HBF. This is a far better and more appropriate position for him. He could become such a weapon there. But at FB and CHB, the way the rules have evolved, you need height. Ramps is being umpire out of the game at FB.
We have O'Connor (198) and Brand (198). They have the height that will allow them to compete under the new rules. O'Connor is new to Aussie Rules coming from Gaelic Footy but has shown something special. Brand is a serviceable lock down defender. When he is fit I see Brand probably filling that role this year.
Next year O'Connor may well surpass him. Gould has been touted as well. But Gould isn't KPP height either in this day and age. He is only 191. He is more your intercept player, likened to Shannon Hurn.

You’re being generous.
He was up against a ruck yet to debut & got soundly beaten.

Interrupted preseason. He is not quite ready for seniors as yet. Same McInnerney.

Take out the first quarter which he was poor and he'd be the first to admit that.
He broke even at worst, probably had the better of the last 3 quarters. I only expect a ruckman to compete that's it.

I'd be surprised if he's not picked but on form he's going to be lucky. Probably fortunate in that he plays in a position we have less depth in. However on form, he'll be lucky to be picked ahead of some of the kids.

Have to disagree.
It’s no coincidence that us getting on top in Q3 coincided with all rucks being off the ground (Reid was rucking against Finlayson!).
At no stage were we on top whilst Briggs was at the stoppages.
I have no problem with Kelli and her voice is what it is. I can't stand BT, Dermie and Dwayne in equal measure. For me, I think Kelli's problem yesterday was getting so many player names wrong, however I know that is to be partly expected in a practice match.

Each to their own. I just don’t think he was that bad. He was passable and that’s all I expect from him.

She is a horrible commentator but they all are bad nowadays so it’s just a matter of which bad you are stuck with

He got plenty of ball. He did not use ball well. That has always been his problem. Ball use. His kicking and decision making are woeful. So many times he just picked out Nick Haynes or Taylor and kicked to them. What he doesn't do is lift the eyes and look for options. He just kicks.

Hewett is definitely best 22. He is having his first hit out coming back from injury. When we needed a cool head yesterday who stepped up? HEWEE. Yes he stepped up and slowed play down or controlled play. Cool head in bad situations is George. He will be ready to go by Round 1. This match was a Cobweb Washer.

Best news out of yesterday: L Taylor & S Gray won’t be needed.

I would hate Warner not being picked and is picking a bloke that clearly needs a month to get back to form. I do however expect my worst fears to be realised as Horse is the coach

Hickey got plenty of taps. Unfortunately nearly every one went to a GWS player. I mean he could have just grabbed the ball and handed it to them. It would have saved time and effort. Our mids were standing off their mids which is really strange. When Hickey was hitting it directly to their mids we had no body on them and they were able to clear very easily.
If your Ruckman is going to win the taps he needs to put them to our advantage not theirs. Cal Sinclair and Reid at least did that on a few occasions. I am crying out for Sam Naismith to have an injury free year. He is the only Ruckman we have who totally understands the phrase 'hit outs to advantage'.

Her voice is like a nail scratching slowly down a blackboard. Is that not also a legitimate complaint?
