I reckon Viv is actually a pretty good contested mark and she does hold her ground well she just isn't a very good, consistent kick. I think she lacks penetration and accuracy, I can see her improving a bit but I am not sure she would ever get it good enough to be the forward we need.I agree. Opportunities are very hard to come by and last year was the year for Freo or us; and I think we were better placed than them, apart from their home ground advantage.
In my opinion the competition will be tougher next year and we will need to improve, not least in attack where I think we need another tall marking option.
It appeared to me that we tried to use Emma King as our tall, going forward most of the time after taking the centre bounces and Vivien Saad doing most of the around the ground work. I wonder if they contemplated using Vivien more as a key forward and leaving Emma to play a more kick behind the play role? While Vivien may not be as a strong a mark as Emma, she is always hard at the ball and would be likely to give our small forwards lots of opportunities to crumb and goal.
On the forwards I hope Kashy works on kicking those goals where she runs down the wing and gets a long range shot. I reckon she had half a dozen but missed them, albeit a couple of posters. If she nailed those regularly that would be amazing.
