Looked like a Danger/Sloane situation. Two guys going for the ball, Laird got there later and just kinda ran into him. Wasn't a bump or any attempt to take the Eagle player out.

Anyone notice the 1 handed pickup at a center bounce by Curtin, didn’t put his hand under it to scoop it, just put his hand on top like a claw machine.
Got tackled almost immediately but that’s Kouta like.

Wonder if we got lucky that when Thilthorpe went off, our sub had already been made?
We don’t win that without him yesterday and maybe we would have subbed him for precaution.

The efforts by Dawson (all game), Rankine and TT (second half) to try to win the game were obvious, but I have two further little observations.
First, I noted praiseworthy efforts by Bond in the third, who seemed to lift his intensity and show some good physicality and ball retention against the WC forwards. He wanted to win the game.
Second, similarly later in the game, Hinge visibly lifted his efforts and decided that attack was needed with some of his raking kicks to our forwards. You could see him gritting his teeth and wanting to win.

I always thought that Jones would make it as he has all the skills to but he can’t put it together. 2 possessions in a half a game is really poor, especially for a guy that’s almost played 100 games!
Big waste of talent!

No. I think Nicks gave the votes for TT and Keane. Both gave the votes for Dawson and Rankine.

McHenry lol
Might not have been in our top 3, but he was easily in our best and not towelled up as you mentioned.
I agree.Apart from basically winning the game for us
Someone made mention yesterday that he was shit, I just thought I was being comical.
I'll stop
jones needs a run to get back into it. this is where the sub is terrible.

Just dont think he provides anything that a Dowling or Edwards doesnt.

the sub role doesnt suit every player. Jones is a serviceable player but he needs a run of full games to really build up. Was he up to it on the weekend, no. so agree that for now he should be sent back to Sanfl.
welcome to the people take everything you write literally club. Need to put a warning that its humour related or tag one of my posts.
Laird’s defensive performances are pretty underrated on this board. Similar to Milera’s. He’s not a great user but it’s not a huge issue when he can normally hand it off to someone else to move the ball out of defence. Hard at the contest, great with ground balls, tackles well and can win clearances. Even intercepts well for a player his size. A valuable part of the defensive unit compared to the alternatives, and clearly he’s not throwing the ball on his boot most of the time unless it’s necessary, which is a luxury we have when he’s in defence that he didn’t have in the midfield.
I can certainly see a world where we can improve on that spot but it’s not with the players we have now.

Might pay to quit while you're behind bud.
I hope not, because we'll get exposed in finals. Just because a structure works with certain players, doesn't mean it will work with others.
And yesterday was the perfect time to try something different and give a kid a game.
Interesting that both Thilthorpe and Ginbey got votes. Presumably not from the same coach!
So that means one coach (probably Nicks) gave their final two votes to Thilthorpe/Keane, while the other gave them to McCarthy/Ginbey.
Pretty hard to argue about the top 3.
