I think it’s simply the fact that we don’t have tall forwards atm, seems the small forwards are the only ones actually leading
 
The online excitement at big Nads' stats didn't quite match the reports I got from the ground, not quite there yet apparently.

Its hard to say, stats look good. I listened on the radio and the commentators couldn't tell him and Apeness apart which made it difficult to judge who was doing what.
 
Remember when Blakely, Weller, Langdon, Mzungu and DeBoer would get multiple games of 25 plus touches and couldn't get a look in.

Now we're like...Meek... he's tall. Sandi needs a chop out... bring him in.

Meek played Reserves for Peel on the weekend so If Sandi is out choice would be Jones or Strnadica but RTB did say Jones and Meek need more work. Strnadica was better than Apeness in Ruck and Forward in the Peel game and Strnadica kicked 3 goals.

Where is Tucker? and based on the Peel game on the weekend North didnt do enough to warrant elevation and Tucker got mentioned in Ross's presser after the game when he said that Darcy Tucker is growing. So Wally best you get your brush out and go back to painting walls he he

There’s nothing in the cupboard that will improve upon the 22 greatly.

We just need our injury list to get shorter. B.Hill, Taberner, Walters, Logue, Darcy, Bennell....

Someone else said it, but it’s true, the positive from the weekend was no injuries at either Peel or Fremantle.

Yeah two good games in seniors is (in an ideal world) not enough for mine to put him in really; he has worked himself out of reserves, but needs at least 5 consistent - very good ones for Peel to be in contention.

Ah shit, the paints gone to my head again. Tucker stays in and North toils away at Peel.
 
Kids stay in, lose together and win together.

Our game against Richmond (lack of run, kicking long) leads me to believe that Ross wants legs for this game. I think a lot of their planning goes into winning at home this year.

Out

Crowden - he'll be back back but the Tigers feasted on him in that game struggling with the tempo but he'll be a top little player once he gets a bit stronger and can shake those tackles loose to get the ball out

In

Apeness or Str??????ica - We need Apes aggro competitiveness at CHF as much as anybody but if he's not there physically the give Str??????nica a go. Cox and Cam up and back and leave Ape / Nads / Sandi as the deepest forward

At least Nads has been getting on the scoreboard, and rucks. Is he better than Cox, Johnson as a ruck/forward?
 
Johnson will come in for Pearce.

Young kids will be due for a break, whether it's as soon as this week we'll have to wait and see.
 
Ballas had a nice crumb in the last. Wheeled around with plenty of time and stuffed his snap from 30m out. He also missed the first set shot of the game from what should be a bread and butter 40m set shot slight angle.

In fact he nearly missed his 10m out shot on goal.

He’s annoying me immensely.

he is cooked and has been for 2 years.

Every so often he'll get some space when his man has run off him and he'll kick a cheapy. Other than that he is useless. He constantly misses easy shots at goal. For a small forward you just cannot do that every week.

I don't think that he's cooked it's rather his style of play can't be supported any longer as we adjust. On top of that it must be really hard to be a small at Fremantle with the lack of consistent talls in the forward half of the ground.

Agree with the break for the youngsters. Minimal change at home this week but I'm expecting a few rested for the Sydney game.
 
How many weeks is Strnadica been back up from reserves?

It just ain’t going to happen. We’ll see in a months time...
I saw him play Peel v Perth and again on the weekend. Peel had the by the weekend before the Derby and I think Nads played against East Perth (whilst Derby was on) so that's 3 out of 4 games after getting 60 HO's in the Reserves

In my opinion yes he is. He has height mobility a good kick and a good mark.

Wally you might need to change brands and give Dulux a go it mightn't impact your brain as much. You could still be " a Wally" with a different surname he he

North didn't play well at the weekend and I would be surprised of either he or Giro get elevated.
