Practice Match vs Box Hill

[Bojangles17]

Agree with that, and he can help out in the ruck,
He will definitely fly for his marks
He is a very good long kick but struggle when he tries to weight , the ball or chip kick it,he doesn't have silky skills, could definitely play up the ground
Athletically he is very good,,,, the only other option would be chol but i dont think he is quite ready YET

Pretty astute remark , can recall hearing they took a zillion marks , once again we ****ed up at selection table picking an extra small side

Which is exactly the way we selected against them in round 6 last year
The Adelaide oval is to long, you need a 2nd fwd

It’s one thing to back your structure on home deck at mcg however we MUST respect that they are a different outfit at AO , we ****ed up at selection

I think either one has to come in Chol or Moore to help Nank and give us a different options.I disagree Chol looks ready to me his preseason has been good and improved alot of his game.

One thing tho if players aren't performig premiership or not they have to be dropped.We have alot of guys in vfl playing well

His ability to evade a second tackle while still getting out of the first & still maintain his feet is a skill on it's own....

He should come in for Bolton.
Very Bullish about Stengle.

My thinking is maboir has come a long way from when hr first arrived at the club
And he seems to get better with every game he plays, he still though makes simple mistakes which if he did in the afl seniors he would be criticized from pillar to post,
He needs about 3-4 really good solid 4 quarter games in a row,
Bring him in when he is in really good form so his confidence is high,
I definitely think he could be very good afl player , but patience is needed

Could Moore replace McIntosh? Kamdyn's disposal is abysmal at times...

Sure has been so far this year just blasting away far to often

for those at the game how was Moore's defensive workrate & tackling etc? if not up there he won't be selected next week.

Decent enough, didn't get big tackle numbers but worked hard to get into positions to allow teammates to maintain structures further up the field. What I mean by that is he would run from point to point when Box Hill would chip the ball short to ensure that teammates weren't being dragged out of the zone which would open up space behind them. As mentioned the goal that he kicked came from a crunching tackle that came because of inferred pressure as well. The thing was that it wasn't a game that screamed pick me while watching from the stands but it was a consistent 4 quarter effort. As I said yesterday, based on performances if I was going to bring in another tall to partner Jack and Nank it would be Chol as his athleticism/speed would be handy in our forward given we're looking at maintaining pressure on defenders.

I’d prefer Moore over chol for the versatility he d add, without broad I reckon our back half lacks , further so in vlas absence , chf or even deep forward pushing jack up to Hf where he adds plenty on goal assist front

Chol will help if we reckon nank needs a chop out , not sure how Moore could go there, prob better than Grigg if that means anything

Surely Moore or Chol will come in this week.

Just looking at stats off Twitter Moore had 5 tackles and Chol 6 great numbers for kpp. Both adding a defensive side to their game to go with their attacking flare.
